The build in sensor measures the thermal conductivity of the supplied analysis gas. Based on this

result the concentration of the measuring gas is calculated.

Note!

It is imperative to select the correct measuring gas / carrier gas combination.

Otherwise the shown concentrations will be wrong.

Note!

If the anayser is configured in “Multi Gas Mode” (MGM) the change over to another measur-

ing gas / carrier gas combination listed above is easy done with few key press.

The analysis gas can be supplied to the analyser.

pressurised via the inlet port “Analysis Gas” on the rear for permanent analysing.

For allowed inlet pressures see Technical Data.

Option unpressurised with aid of a pump via the inlet port “Lance” on the rear for permanent

analysing. For allowed inlet pressures see Technical Data.

The calibration gases are supplied via the inlet port “Calibration gas” on the rear.

The respectively required calibration gases must be connected to this inlet port if a calibration is

executed. For valid inlet pressures see Technical Data.

Change over amongst the inlet ports occurs by means of the ball valve (47) at the front of the ana-

lyser.

Via pressure regulator (49) the gas to be analysed is supplied to the analyser module (56). The gas

concentration is shown digitally in % or ppm on the display of the analyser.

The MFA also provides standardised output signals, 0-10 V and 4-20 mA corresponding to the

measured gas concentrations. The respective electrical interface is located at connector X1.

The measured gas concentrations can also be recorded through the RS 232 C interface (connect-

or X2).

Option To achieve a faster reaction to fluctuating measuring gas concentrations in the analysis gas a

bypass can be installed after the pressure regulator ex factory. The bypass causes a higher flow

rate of the analysis gas which causes faster reaction.

A flow guard (58)is installed in the outlet of the analyser to continuously monitor the analysis gas

flow. In case that the flow fall short of a pre-defined threshold limit (e. g. due to a leak in the sample

gas supply line), an alarm will be triggered.

Option The alarm signals (e.g. min. / max. concentration alarm, analysis gas fow alarm) will be exported

through volt free contacts.

Note!

In order to supply sample gas to the analyser (e.g. from a WITT gas mixer or a gas mixture

receiver) it is necessary to install a suitable gas line between the equipment where the gas

sample is taken from and the corresponding analysis gas inlet port of the gas analyser. The

installation of a suitable gas pipeline has to be performed by the customer. The gas inlet

pressures must be within the inlet pressure limits specified in the technical data section.

Proper pressure reducers should be installed in the gas supply lines to the analyser, if nec-

essary.

Note!

The analyser needs to be calibrated during initial start-up and on a regular schedule during

operation. To calibrate the gas analyser, proper calibration gases for calibration point 1 and

calibration point 2 must be supplied to the analyser.

Note!

Provisioning of proper calibration gas cylinders (see Technical Data), and installation of the

cylinders to the gas analyser are a customer responsibility. The calibration gas inlet con-

nector is located on the rear of the analyser (labeled “calibration gas”). The pressure cylin-

ders must be equipped with proper cylinder pressure reducers. The calibration gas inlet

pressure must not fall short of the minimum inlet pressure and must not exceed the maxi-

mum inlet pressure specified in the Technical Data.

All built-in pressure regulators are factory-set to the delivery status.

4.2.1 Technical data of the analyser

The technical data of the gas analyser are specified in the attached Technical Data sheets (please

refer to section 9).

The analyser should remain accessible for servicing.

place the undamaged instrument on a solid surface in a place protected from the weather and

secured against accidents.

during setting up observe the ambient conditions specified in the Technical Data (section 9)

(e.g., ambient temperature, a safety zone, humidity, dust, altitude).

5.3 Safety instructions for installation

Warning !

Prior to initial commissioning and after modification, repairs, or expansion of the system /

unit, the safety checks required by BGV A3 (reference to DIN VDE 0100, DIN VDE 0701, DIN

VDE 0702, etc.) are to be performed and logged. The checks encompass the inspection,

testing, and measuring of the effectiveness of protective measures (e.g. emergency stop

devices, interlocks, pressure switches, etc.).

If the operating organisation is not in a position to perform a check, a check in accordance

with DIN VDE 0702 can be performed by WITT Service.

Warning !

In accordance with BGV A3 a protective earth connection (PE connection ) of protection

class 1 must be provided.

Warning !

Following initial commissioning and after modification, repair, or expansion of a system /

unit, the connections and joints are to be checked for leaks to the atmosphere with inert

gas. For this process only use suitable leak testing procedures (never test with a naked

flame). If you find leaks, rectify them immediately; the applicable safety regulations are to be

observed during this process.

Warning !

The material for the gas pipes (pipes from the gas supply to the inlets on the gas analyser),

all fittings installed there (e.g. shut-off valves, manometers, etc.) and all sealing elements

there must be designed for the related type of gas.
