     The systems are not designed for use in an explosive atmosphere.

 

 

 Irreversible system damage might occur if the use of adequate and application-specific gas 
filtration  technology  is  omitted.  This  is  an  optical  measurement  system.

 

For  further 

information on gas conditioning and filtering please refer to Chapter 2.6. 

 

Relative humidity in the measurement gas and measurement conditions must be such that 
no condensation occurs inside the measurement cell.

 

 

Each sensing module is calibrated to a certain gas temperature and pressure. Deviations in 
both parameters can lead to significant degrading of measurement accuracy.

 

The  LGD  F200P2  instrument  continuously  measures  the  gas  concentration  in  the  measurement  cell. 
Default measurement time is roughly 1 s (user changeable to up to 600 s integration time or “averaging”). 
The ambient version has a start-up time of 30 s to give a correct concentration reading. The warm-up time 
for the heated version depends on the set-temperature and ambient conditions. For a measurement set-
temperature of 190°C / 374

F, about 30 min are needed (40 min for 220°C / 428

F option). Depending on 

ambient conditions, it may take longer until all components have reached a stable temperature.

For any shipments of the system, it is recommended to retain and re-use the original shipment material, 
which has been tested and proven to be effective protection.  Relevant Operation & Storage conditions as 
described  above  as  well  as  in  the  Product  Datasheet  need  to  be  respected  for  shipment.  In  case  of  a 
return, Axetris AG will not be responsible for shipping damage as a result of improperly packaged systems 
and recommends customers ship systems insured for full value. 

2.2  System layout and materials 

     Do not open the system. Opening might lead to irreversible damage. 

     Do not remove the fittings of the measurement cell. 

     Prevent any dust, insulation or other material from entering the measurement cell. 

The main external features of the LGD F200P2 are the housing, the electronics housing, and the gas-in 
and gas-out connectors. On the inside, the system is equipped with an electro-optic module containing a 
laser  and  photo-diode,  a  measurement  cell,  and  a  high reflectivity mirror. The  laser beam traverses the 
measurement  cell  from  the  electro-optic  module  to  the  mirror  and  then  goes  back  through  the 
measurement cell to the photo-diode. Small air spaces are necessary for thermally decoupling the electro- 
optic module and the mirror from the measurement cell that can optionally be heated as high as 220°C /
