Oxygen sensor: Preparation for installation 
Installation site 
Ambient temperature 
During operation  with the oxygen sensor installed 
+5 to +35 °C  in a wall-mount housing 
+5 to +40 °C  in a 19-inch housing 
NOTE 
The oxygen sensor is always assigned to an analyzer module and must be 
installed in the same housing as this analyzer module. 
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  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. 
Inlet pressure    p
e
 = 2 to 500 hPa 
Flow  20 to 100 l/h 
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)). 
Moisture content 
H
2
O dew point ≥ 2 °C. The oxygen sensor may not be used with dry sample 
gases. 
Associated gases 
The oxygen sensor may not be used if the associated gas contains the fol-
lowing components: H
2
S, compounds containing chlorine or fluorine, heavy 
metals, aerosols, mercaptans, alkaline components. 
Flammable gases 
The oxygen sensor may not be used for the measurement of flammable 
gases. 
Sample gas outlet conditions 
The outlet pressure must be the same as the atmospheric pressure.
