ZO23: Preparation for installation
Installation site
Ambient temperature
during operation with analyzer module installed in a system housing
+5 to +45 °C
without electronics module
+5 to +45 °C
with electronics module or with power supply only
Vibrations/shocks
max. ±0.04 mm at 5 to 55 Hz; 0.5 g at 55 to 150 Hz
No heat sources or magnetic fields
No heat sources or devices which generate strong magnetic fields (e.g. elec-
tric motors or transformers) may be located in the vicinity of the installation
site.
Sample gas
ATTENTION
The gas analyzer may not be used for the measurement of ignitable
gas/air or gas/oxygen mixtures.
Sample gas inlet conditions
Temperature
+5 to +50 °C
Inlet pressure
p
e
≤
70 hPa
Flow
4 to 20 l/h
The sample gas flow rate must be kept constant at ±0.2 l/h in the specified
range. The sample gas must be taken from a bypass at zero pressure. If the
sample gas flow rate is too low, the effects of contaminants from the gas
lines (leaks, permeabilities, desorptions) have an adverse effect on the
measurement result. If the sample gas flow rate is too high, asymmetrical
cooling of the sensor can cause measuring errors. This can also cause faster
aging of or damage to the sample cell.
Remark: Sample gas temperature, pressure and flow rate should be main-
tained constant to such a degree that the fluctuation influence on the accu-
racy of measurement is acceptable (see also chapter "Analyzer module oper-
ating data" (see page 346)).
Corrosive gases
The presence of corrosive gases and catalyst poisons, e.g. halogens, gases
containing sulphur and heavy metal dusts, causes faster aging and/or or
destruction of the ZrO
2
cell.
Flammable gases
The analyzer module is suitable for the measurement of flammable gases in
a non-hazardous environment. The concentration of flammable gases in the
sample gas may not exceed 100 ppm.
