Magnos28 – sample gas input conditions
The sample gas dew point should be at least 5 °C below the temperature
throughout the sample gas path. Otherwise a sample gas cooler or
condensate trap is required.
When there is a direct connection to the sample chamber, the maximum
sample gas dew point is 55 °C.
Water vapor content variations cause volume errors.
Designation of gas connections
operated under atmospheric pressure; the sample gas outlet is
< 5 hPa at standard flow rate of 60 l/h.
Permissible absolute pressure range:
to 1600 hPa.
Operation under lower absolute pressure
(e.g.
at altitudes above 2000 m) on
Operation under higher pressure:
A pressure sensor is required to
compensate for pressure influences.
1250 hPa:
An optional internal pressure sensor can
be connected to the sample gas path.
1250 hPa:
An external pressure sensor must be
connected to the sample gas path. The
pressure compensation must be
calculated externally.

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. If the sample gas contains
NH
3
, FFKM75 gaskets must be used; in this case, the integral gas
feed cannot be connected to the analyzer. The pressure sensor
must not be connected to the sample gas path.
Flammable gases
The analyzer is suited for measuring flammable gases in a non-
explosive environment.
Observe the special conditions when measuring flammable
gases, see Special conditions for the measurement of
combustion gases on page 41.
Pressure sensor
The pressure sensor is optionally installed in the gas analyzer,
see Pressure sensor on page 36.
The pressure sensor is connected to a connection socket via an
FPM tube.
For measurements in suppressed measurement ranges, the
sensor and sample gas outlet have to be connected to each
other via a T-piece and with the use of short conductors.
Make especially sure that the gas discharge line is as short as
possible or has a sufficiently large inside diameter (min. 10 mm)
in case of a larger length.
