it into operation.
b) Take care that harmful gases are exhausted to a save
place.
c) Before maintenance turn off the gas supply and make
sure that it cannot be turned on unintentionally.
d) Protect yourself during maintenance against toxic / cor-
rosive gases. Use suitable protective equipment.

moisture and heat. They must be stored in a covered, dry and
dust-free room at a temperature between -20 °C and 50 °C.
4 Installation and connection
4.1 Installation site requirements
Portable sample gas probes are intended as temporary gas
sampling. Optional assembly plug and flanges allow for safe
and gas-tight installation.
• 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.
• Also ensure adequate and safe access for installation. Par-
ticularly consider the available installation length for the
built-in sampling tube and, if applicable, the intake filter.
If the probe is transported to the installation site in pieces, it
will first need to be assembled.
4.2 Installation
WARNING
Gas leakage, condensate, hot surfaces
Burns and / or health hazards due to gas / condensate!
a) The sample gas and/or condensate may be hazardous to
the health.
b) Parts near the sampling point may be hot.
c) The probe may become very hot due to the process
gasses.
ð Close the gas supply, if necessary flush the probe with air,
and allow the probe to cool down before beginning in-
stallation or maintenance.
ð Wear safety gloves and goggles.
The portable probe can be installed in the site using the avail-
able mounting accessories such as cones, plugs, and flanges.
Attach the suitable mounting element and, if applicable, the
intake filter (optional) to the sampling tube for the probe.
