ZO23: Preparation for installation 
Installation site 
Ambient temperature 
during operation  with analyzer module installed in a system housing   
+5 to +45 °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 55 Hz; 0.5 g at 55 to 150 Hz 
No heat sources or magnetic fields 
No heat sources or devices which generate strong magnetic fields (e.g. elec-
tric motors or transformers) may be located in the vicinity of the installation 
site. 
Sample gas 
ATTENTION 
The gas analyzer may not be used for the measurement of ignitable 
gas/air or gas/oxygen mixtures. 
Sample gas inlet conditions 
Temperature  +5 to +50 °C 
Inlet pressure    p
e
 ≤ 70 hPa 
Flow  4 to 20 l/h 
The sample gas flow rate must be kept constant at ±0.2 l/h in the specified 
range. The sample gas must be taken from a bypass at zero pressure. If the 
sample gas flow rate is too low, the effects of contaminants from the gas 
lines (leaks, permeabilities, desorptions) have an adverse effect on the 
measurement result. If the sample gas flow rate is too high, asymmetrical 
cooling of the sensor can cause measuring errors. This can also cause faster 
aging of or damage to the sample cell. 
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 
The presence of corrosive gases and catalyst poisons, e.g. halogens, gases 
containing sulphur and heavy metal dusts, causes faster aging and/or or 
destruction of the ZrO
2
 cell. 
Flammable gases 
The analyzer module is suitable for the measurement of flammable gases in 
a non-hazardous environment. The concentration of flammable gases in the 
sample gas may not exceed 100 ppm.
