NOTICE Accessories may limit critical operating parameters of the base unit
Adding accessories may limit critical operating parameters. Ambient temperatures, zone
classifications, explosion groups, temperature classes or chemical resistances of ac-
cessories may vary from the base unit.
Always include all technical data in the operating instructions and data sheets of all
components in the safety assessment.
4.1 Installation site requirements
Sample gas probes are intended for flange mounting.
– Installation site and installation position are determined based on requirements specific to the application.
– If necessary, the connection piece should be slightly tilted toward the centre of the channel.
– The installation site should be protected from the weather.
– In addition, adequate and safe access for installation and future maintenance work should be provided. Particularly follow
the uninstalled size of the probe tube!
If the probe is transported to the installation site in pieces, it will first need to be assembled.
4.2 Installation
DANGER Danger to life and explosion during installation and maintenance
The unit must not be worked on (assembly, installation, maintenance) in explosive at-
mospheres.
DANGER Explosion hazard
When used in explosive areas
Flammable gasses and dust could ignite or explode.
Never operate the gas probe outside the specifications. Extracting gases or gas mixtures

Severe injuries and damage to the system
If the process holds a risk of flame propagation, install a flame arrestor.
