5.3 Operating the flow metre (optional)
The flow volume of the system can be adjusted using the
built-in needle valve on the flow metre.
Avoid a flow of less than 50 L/min. Throttling greatly will
shorten the life of the sample gas pump.
5.4 Condensate
DANGER
The gas inside the filter, condensate and used filter ele-
ments may be caustic or corrosive.
Sample gas can be harmful.
a) Before maintenance turn off the gas supply and surge
with air if necessary.
b) Exhaust sample gas to a safe place.
c) Protect yourself against toxic / corrosive gas during
maintenance. Wear appropriate personal protection
equipment.
CAUTION
Operation in designated position
The unit should only be operated in the designated position.
If this cannot be ensured due to logistics (e.g. transport via
shippers), it's important to completely empty the vessel, as
condensate could otherwise flow back into the gas lines.
Condensate accumulates during operation. Drainage varies
by version.
5.4.1 Version with condensate trap
Condensate collects in a condensate trap. Regularly check the
liquid level inside the trap and empty as necessary. This can
be done using the included vessel.
Proceed as follows:
• Remove the section of house from the equipment open-
ing and hold upward.
• Now open the hose clamp, lower the hose, and allow con-
densate to drain into the filling vessel.
• To completely empty the condensate trap, tip the unit at
the front left edge.
• Once the condensate is completely drained, hold the hose
up again and close the hose clamp.
5.4.2 Version with condensate pump
The built-in condensate pump discharges condensate via the
factory installed hose. Please note, the hose clamp on the hose
must be open during operation. Condensate must be collected
and disposed of properly. Use the included filling vessel for
this purpose. The hose clamp should be closed when not in
use and during transport to prevent the condensate from ac-
cidentally leaking.
6 Maintenance
Always observe the applicable safety- and operating regula-
tions when performing any type of maintenance. Please refer
to the original operator's manual on the included CD or online
