Installation site 
Ambient temperature 
During operation  with analyzer module installed in a system housing   
+5 to +50 °C  without electronics module 
+5 to +45 °C  with electronics module or with power supply only 
Vibrations/shocks 
max. ±0.04 mm at 5 to 20 Hz 
Sample gas 
Sample gas inlet conditions 
Temperature  The dew point of the sample gas must be at least 5 °C 
lower than the lowest ambient temperature in the overall 
sample gas path. Otherwise, a sample gas cooler or con-
densate trap is required.   
When there is a direct sample chamber connection the 
maximum sample gas dew point is 55 °C.   
Fluctuations in water vapor content cause volume errors. 
Pressure    Operation under atmospheric pressure: The sample gas 
outlet is open to atmosphere. Internal pressure drop 
< 5 hPa with standard flow rate 60 l/h. Permissible abso-
lute pressure range: 800 to 1250 hPa. Operation under 
lower absolute pressure (e.g. at altitudes above 2000 m) 
on request.   
Operation under elevated pressure: A pressure sensor is 
required for pressure influence compensation. Absolute 
pressure ≤ 1250 hPa: An optional internal pressure sensor 
can be connected to the sample gas path. Absolute pres-
sure ≥ 1250 hPa: An external pressure sensor must be 
connected to the sample gas path. 
Flow  30 to 90 l/h   
Abrupt changes in the sample gas flow rate should be 
avoided when using highly suppressed measurement 
ranges. 
Remark: Sample gas temperature, pressure and flow rate should be main-
tained constant to such a degree that the fluctuation influence on the accu-
racy of measurement is acceptable (see also chapter "Analyzer module oper-
ating data" (see page 346)). 
Corrosive gases 
If the sample gas contains Cl
2
, HCl, HF or other corrosive components, the 
analyzer may only be used if the sample gas composition has been taken 
into account by the manufacturer for the configuration of the analyzer. 
Flammable gases 
The analyzer module is suitable for the measurement of flammable gases 
and vapors under atmospheric conditions (p
abs
 ≤ 1.1 bar, oxygen content 
≤ 21 vol.%). Temperature class: T4.   
The sample gas may not be potentially explosive in normal operation; if it is 
potentially explosive in the event of faults in the sample gas supply, then 
only rarely and for a short time (corresponding to Zone 2).
