2.2  Fundamentals of proper use  

The process gas analyser serves to identify gases and their quality in biogas, crude 
biogas, lean gas and biomethane. 
 
Applications are biological process optimisation during motor control, controlling 
preparation systems, analysing biogas, landfill gas and gas from purification plants. 
 
The gas analyser is not suitable for determining the workplace threshold or lower 
explosion limit. 
 
In the case of toxic and explosive gases, observe the safety instructions at the 
setup site. 
 
The process gas analyser is permanently installed and is intended for use outside 
closed rooms in a sufficient quantity of clean ambient air. Do not expose to direct 
sunlight. 
 
Any other use is considered improper. The manufacturer is not liable for the 
resulting damage; the associated risk is borne by the installer, fitter, operator or 
user. Only certified professionals may alter the process gas analyser (mechanical, 
electrical or pneumatic modifications). 
 

 

 

WARNING

 

Proper use includes following these operating instructions. In addition to the 
following safety notes, always follow the safety instructions of the linked system 
components. 

Additional equipment or accessories that are not installed, delivered or 
manufactured by UNION Instruments GmbH require the approval of UNION 
Instruments GmbH as the manufacturer! Otherwise the guarantee expires. 

 

2.3  Personnel and qualifications 

Gas connections and work on the electrical equipment of the process gas analyser 
may only be performed by a professional while observing safety regulations.
