Packing the gas analyzer 
ATTENTION 
Depending on its design, the gas analyzer weighs from 18 to 25 kg! Two 
persons are needed for removal. 
Packing the gas analyzer 
1  Remove the system bus terminating resistor from the electronics mod-
ule and secure it to the housing, e.g. with adhesive tape. If the terminat-
ing resistor remains in the electronics module it can be broken during 
shipment causing damage to the resistor as well as to the system bus 
ports on the electronic module. 
2  In the IP54 version of the system housing close off the connection box 
cable openings by inserting the appropriate plates. 
3  Remove adapters from the gas ports and tightly seal the gas ports. 
4  If the original packaging is not available, wrap the gas analyzer in bubble 
wrap or corrugated cardboard. When shipping overseas, additionally 
shrink-wrap the gas analyzer air-tight in 0.2 mm thick polyethylene film 
adding a drying agent (such as silica gel). The amount of drying agent 
should be appropriate for the package volume and the expected ship-
ping duration (at least 3 months). 
5  Pack the gas analyzer in an adequately sized box lined with 
shock-absorbing material (foam or similar). The thickness of the 
shock-absorbing material should be adequate for the weight of the gas 
analyzer and the mode of dispatch. When shipping overseas, additional-
ly line the box with a double layer of bitumen paper. 
6  Mark the box as "Fragile Goods". 
Ambient temperature 
Ambient temperature during storage and transport: −25 to +65 °C 
CAUTION 
When you return the gas analyzer to the service department, e.g. for re-
pair, please state which gases have been supplied to the gas analyzer. 
This information is needed so that service personnel can take any requi-
site safety precautions for harmful gases.
