Depending on the number of ignition attempts, the flame can take up 
to 10 minutes to ignite.  
Depending on the length of the combustible gas supply line, it is 
possible that not enough combustible gas is available to ignite the 
flame at first during the initial start-up of the gas analyzer. In this 
case, the ignition of the flame must be restarted in the Fidas 
Restart menu (see page 115). The temperature of the flame is also 
displ
ayed in this menu option; the flame is regarded as "on" when the 
flame temperature is at least 30 °C higher than the detector 
temperature. 
The actual start-up of the gas analyzer is concluded with the ignition 
of the flame.
