Gas analyzer shutdown 
In the case of a temporary shutdown: 
1  Turn off the sample gas supply and reference gas supply, if applicable.   
2  Purge the gas lines and gas feed paths in the analyzer module with dry 
fresh air or nitrogen for at least 5 minutes. Limas21 HW: Purge sample 
gas feed path gas lines and gas feed paths in the analyzer module with 
at least with clean and dust-free air for at least 1 hour. 
3  Switch off the gas analyzer power supply. 
In the case of a long-term shutdown, carry out the following in addi-
tion: 
4  Remove the gas lines from the gas analyzer ports. Tightly seal the gas 
ports. 
5  Disconnect the electrical leads from the gas analyzer. 
Fidas24: Gas analyzer shutdown 
In the case of a temporary shutdown: 
1  Turn off the sample gas supply.   
2  Purge sample gas line with nitrogen for at least 5 minutes from the 
sampling point. 
3  Set the gas analyzer to standby operation (see page 277). In case of 
corrosive and flammable gases set the gas analyzer to standby opera-
tion with detector purging.   
4  Shut off combustion air supply and combustion gas supply. 
In the case of a long-term shutdown, carry out the following in addi-
tion: 
5  Shut off instrument air supply. 
6  Switch off the gas analyzer power supply. 
7  Remove the gas lines from the gas analyzer ports. Tightly seal the gas 
ports. 
8  Disconnect the electrical leads from the gas analyzer. 
Fidas24: Gas analyzer restart 
1  Feed in instrument air and combustion air and purge the gas analyzer 
for at least 20 minutes. 
2  Turn on the gas analyzer power supply. 
3  Turn on the combustion gas supply and check the combustion gas 
pressure. 
4  Carry out a seal integrity test on the combustion gas line (see page 283). 
5  Turn on the sample gas supply.
