WARNING
Harmful gases
Danger to personnel, system and the environment can result from introducing harmful
(corrosive, ammable and/or poisonous) gases into the device. If this should be required for the
measuring task of the device, you must take the following measures:
• Take into account the safety measures according to the German Occupational Safety Act
(Arbeitsschutzgesetz - ArbSchG) or similar international regulations. These safety measures
must be coordinated with a local specialist. In particular, this includes measures to prevent
any potential release of gases from the internal gas path (containment system) as well as
their monitoring and disposal.
• Ensure that the discharged gas is treated according to the applicable local laws.
• When you measure gases with ammable components at concentrations above the lower
explosion limit (LEL), we recommend that you only use piped devices (see also report BB-
EG1-KAR Gr02X from TÜV Süddeutschland).
• Purge the device or the plant with a purging gas (inert gas). The gas displaced by purging
must be collected using appropriate equipment and disposed of environmentally-friendly
via an exhaust line.
WARNING
Harmful substances in the condensate
The condensate at the sample gas cooler or condensation trap can be corrosive, depending on
the composition of the sample gas (e.g.: through SO
2
, NO, H
2
S, HCl, etc.). When you dip litmus
paper into the condensate it will turn red.
• Wear protective clothing, protective goggles and protective gloves when handling the
condensate!
• Prior to its disposal, dilute the condensate with tap water until it turns neutral and the litmus
paper does not change color. Alternatively, you can also neutralize the condensate with a
weak sodium carbonate solution (Na
2
CO
3
).
NOTICE
Manipulation of the device
Physical access to the device enables undesired manipulations of the device. As a result of this,
the device can lose its measuring properties and become unusable.
• Ensure that the device is located in a protected area to which only authorized persons have
access.
• If no settings need be carried out, lock the device.
