Fidas24: Connecting the gas lines 
CAUTION 
The relevant safety regulations for working with flammable gases must 
be complied with. 
The fittings of the gas paths in the gas analyzer may not be opened. The 
gas paths can become leaky as a result. 
However, if the fittings of the gas paths in the gas analyzer have been 
opened (only by trained personnel), a seal integrity test with a leak de-
tector (thermal conductivity) must always be carried out after they have 
been sealed again. 
The seal integrity of the combustion gas supply line outside the gas ana-
lyzer must be checked regularly. 
Combustion gas which escapes through leak points in the gas paths in 
the instrument can cause fires and explosions, also outside the gas ana-
lyzer. 
The lines and fittings must be clean and free of any residues (e.g. particles 
left over from manufacturing). Contaminants can enter the analyzer and 
damage it or lead to false measurement results! 
NOTES 
The installation of gas connections is described in section "Installing the gas 
connections" (see page 78). 
Follow the manufacturer's installation instructions for the fittings! In partic-
ular, hold the male fittings (gas connections) in place when connecting the 
gas lines. 
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions when laying and connecting the gas 
lines. 
If gas lines made of stainless steel are connected to the analyzer modules, 
the lines must be connected to the building-side equipotential bonding. 
Never connect more than three analyzer modules in series!
