3.1 Project planning
The following Table provides an overview of the project planning work necessary as
prerequisite for trouble-free assembly and subsequent device functionality. You can use
this Table as a Checklist and check off the completed steps.
Task Requirements Work step
Determine the
measuring and
installation
locations for the
device compo-
nents
Inlet and outlet paths
according to DIN EN
13284-1 (inlet at least 5x
hydraulic diameter d
h,
out-
let at least 3x d
h
; distance
to stack opening at least
5x d
h
)
For round and square ducts:
d
h
= duct diameter
● Follow specifications for new equip-
ment
● Select best possible location for
existing equipment;
● For too short inlet/outlet paths:
Inlet path > outlet path
For rectangular ducts:
d
h
= 4x cross-section divided by cir-
cumference
Homogeneous flow distri-
bution
Representative dust distri-
bution
Whenever possible, no deflections,
cross-section variations, feed and
drain lines, flaps or fittings in the area
of the inlet and outlet paths
If conditions cannot be ensured, define
flow profile according to DIN EN 13284-
1 and select best possible location
Sender/receiver unit and
reflector fitting location
Do not fit vertically on horizontal or
slanted ducts;
max. measuring axis angle to horizon-
tal 45°
Select best possible location
Accessibility, accident pre-
vention
The device components must be eas-
ily and safely accessible
Provide platforms or pedestals as
required
Installation free of vibra-
tions
Acceleration < 1 g
Eliminate/reduce vibrations through
suitable measures
Ambient conditions
Limit values according to Technical
Data
If necessary:
● Provide weatherproof covers/sun
protection
● Enclose or lag device components
Select the purge
air supply
Sufficient primary purge
air pressure depending on
internal duct pressure
Up to +2 hPa, MCU control unit with
integrated purge air supply
Above +2 hPa to +30 hPa, optional
external purge air unit
Select supply type
Clean intake air
Whenever possible, low amount of
dust, no oil, moisture or corrosive
gases
● Select best possible location for air
intake
● Determine required purge air hose
length
Select device
components
Active measuring path,
duct wall thickness with
isolation
Sender/receiver unit, reflector, flange
with tube
Select components according to the
Configuration Table (see “Device fea-
tures and configuration”, page 32);
If necessary, plan additional measures
to fit the flange with tube (see “Fitting
the flange with tube”, page 36)
Internal duct pressure Type of purge air supply
Fitting locations Line and purge air hose lengths
Plan calibration
openings
Access Easy and safe
Provide platforms or pedestals as
Distances to measuring
level
No mutual interference between
calibration probe and measuring sys-
tem
Plan sufficient distance between
measuring and calibration level (approx.
500 mm)
Plan the volt-
age supply
Operating voltage, power
requirements
According to Technical Data (see
“Technical Data”, page 112)
Plan adequate line cross-sections and
fuses
