1.1 Main hazards
Important safety information in abbreviated form.
 Always observe the complete safety information (see cross-references).
1.2 Intended use
1.2.1 Purpose of the device
The MCS100E measuring device is used for continuous and selective measurement of
emissions (e.g.: HCl, NH
3
, H
2
O, CO, SO
2
, NO
x
, O
2
) in the stack gases of incineration plants.
The MCS100E is normally located in the SICK MCS100E system cabinets.
Application limitations
The MCS100E only measures the gas composition correctly for which it was calibrated
(
→ System Documentation). A change of the gas matrix can result in incorrect measured
values.
1.2.2 Installation site
The MCS100E gas analyzer is designed for operation in rooms or system cabinets.
WARNING: Noxious and irritating sample gas
When the sample gas contains noxious or irritating substances:
 Channel sample gas off safely ( → p. 24, §3.2.2.1)
WARNING: Danger to life/health risks caused by leaks in the gas path
If noxious gases are channeled into the MCS100E: A leak in the gas path can
create acute danger for persons.
 Ensure suitable safety measures.
WARNING: Hazards by explosive or combustible gases
⊗ Do not use the MCS100E for measuring explosive or combustible gases
WARNING: Hazard in potentially explosive atmospheres
⊗ Do not use the MCS100E in potentially explosive atmospheres.
NOTICE: Risk of contamination of the gas path
If the sample gas does not have the composition for which the MCS100E was
designed (
→ System Documentation):
 Ensure that the MCS100E cannot draw in sample gas.
 Flush the gas path of the MCS100E with inert gas.
