Intended Usage
WARNING
The device is only designed for situations of intended use. A non-intended use can lead to
personal injury and property damage. Only use the device as intended.
The gas analysis systems serve as analytical device for air, biogas, sewage gas, biomethane as well
as hydrogen up to 100vol% and hydrogen sulphide up to 5vol%. They are neither part of explosion
protection nor a warning device. They are used without any additional pressure reducing measures
for measuring biogas with a maximum of 20 mbar of underpressure or overpressure. The suitability for
use in safety-critical applications must be assessed by the user for each case. Reliability data can be
provided by Awite if required.
WARNING
The device is installed in the vicinity of combustible or explosive gases. Operating a non-explosion-
protected device in a hazardous atmosphere can cause an explosion with personal injury and
property damage. Do not place the device in a dangerous atmosphere unless a corresponding
marking exists on its housing.
