The socket providing the electric power supply for the instrument must have a proper ground
connection.

As specified in Electrical Power Supply for the electrical connections, the ground terminal on
the rear panel has to be connected to earth by a wire of 6mm² cross-section.

6.4.3 Gas Connection

SERVICE!

Open the valve (2) of the gas cylinder (1) and open slightly the gas regulator (3) in
order to have a low gas flow. Then, connect the male quick fitting to

the “Inside Gas

Bottle” connector (4). This will avoid air pollution in the detector.

Adjust very slowly the outlet gas pressure on the
regulator to the recommended value (6 bar). If the
gas cylinder cannot be installed as a part of the
instrument, please follow the instructions in Section
Installation of an external gas cylinder.
