Handling of the Gas Analysis System
The gas analysis system may only be operated by personnel who have been authorized and instructed
by the operator of the system. The instructions of this Instruction Manual have to be strictly adhered to.
The state of the device has to be checked on a regular basis and error messages need to be addressed.
Do not stay in the vicinity of a system in operation for prolonged periods of time. Refer to Part B of the
Instruction Manual for more information on the operation of the system.
CAUTION
The risk assessment is based on a maximum stay of 100 hours per year directly at the device. A longer
length of stay increases the risk due to the arising of a dangerous atmosphere and explosion inside the
device as well as due to toxic gas. Therefore, no persons are allowed to stay permanently in the vicinity
of the device.

Maintenance
For the safety of the gas analysis system, regular maintenance work is an absolute necessity, as during
this process wearing parts (such as seals) are replaced and the whole system is checked thoroughly. In
order to maintain the warranty, a first maintenance and calibration service is required within the first 10
months, thereafter every 12 months at the latest as a rule. Depending on measuring requirements, it might
also be necessary to service the system every 6 months or less. Maintenance work may only be carried
out by qualified personnel and the maintenance intervals must be adhered to. The state of the gas analysis
system must be checked on a regular basis, error messages need to be addressed.
WARNING
Wear of parts can lead to leakage and malfunction. This may even cause an explosion. Wear parts must
be replaced regularly. Check the device regularly and have the recommended maintenance performed
regularly.
In case of alarm outputs with an additional service switch, the service switch must be turned off again after
maintenance. For further information, please refer to the electric diagram.
WARNING
A bridged service switch prevents the transmission of alarms. As a result, facility-specific hazards may
arise. Turn the service switch off again after completion of maintenance.
