Safety
The following pages provide important safety precautions.
Class of Laser Equipment
The analyzer is a Class 1 laser instrument when the case cover is closed for normal
operation, and the lock is installed.
Certification
The analyzer certifications are listed in Table 1.
Table 1: Safety Certifications
Symbols
Standards Tested and Met
2004/108/EU (EMC), EN61326-1
Title 21 Code of Federal Regulations, chapter 1, sub-chapter J
WEEE Directive
The analyzer is not subject to WEEE Directive 2002/96/EC (Waste Electrical and Electronic
Equipment) or relevant national laws (e.g. ElektroG in Germany).
The product must be disposed of at a specialized recycling facility. Do not use municipal
garbage collection points. According to the WEEE Directive 2002/96/EC, only products
used in private applications may be disposed of at municipal garbage facilities.

Labels
The following labels are at specific locations on or in the analyzer to identify
hazardous areas. (Figure 1)
Figure 1: Radiation Labels
These labels are located on the enclosure covering the OA-ICOSTM cell. The fiber
laser is visible only when the insulated enclosure is removed from the OA-ICOSTM
cell.
Operator Safety
When the case cover is closed and locked into position, the analyzer runs safely, without
risk to the operator. Modifying the analyzer to operate with the case cover open can injure
personnel.
Bypassing the analyzer interlock switch to open the case cover during
analyzer operations can cause serious bodily injury. Even though the
analyzer provides a second layer of protection, such as a laser cover to
prevent the user from the invisible laser beam or any secondary reflection
from the laser on a reflective surface, it is not recommended to modify the
analyzer to operate in an unsafe condition.
Electrical Hazards
The analyzer poses no electrical hazards. The analyzer components operate at ≤6.8 V DC.

ABB GLA132 Series Ultraportable User Manual
7
Laser Hazards
The analyzer is a Class 1 laser product that complies with:
•21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11
•EN 60825-1:2014
The laser is classified as a Class IIIb when exposed.
Only trained service personnel are authorized to open the housing or
service the laser.
Using this analyzer in a manner not specified by ABB-LGR may result in
damage to the analyzer and render it unsafe to operate.
Only authorized persons may open the analyzer cover or perform internal
maintenance. Contact ABB-LGR for maintenance instructions and
maintenance kits. Make sure the analyzer is unplugged before working
with the internal components. Failure to do so may result in damage to
the analyzer and electric shock.
Safety Provisions for a Chemical Spill
Follow these precautions when dealing with all chemicals:
•Keep all chemical containers away from heat, sparks, and open flames.
•Use only on grounded equipment and with non-sparking tools.
•Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place, away from incompatible materials.
If a spill occurs:
•Make sure all handling equipment is electrically grounded.
•Mop or wipe up, and then place all chemical-soaked items in containers approved
by the US Department of Transportation (DOT) or the appropriate local regulatory
agency.

Data Interface Connection Ports
This section describes the data interface connections as shown in Figure 5. These
connections may vary from analyzer to analyzer depending on the ordered configuration.
•USB ports – Used for transferring data to a USB memory device, or to connect a
USB keyboard and mouse.
•Ethernet port – Connects the analyzer to a local area network (LAN) and allows
access to the data directory using an external computer.
•Serial port (9 pin D-sub) – For real-time digital measurement output.
•Video port (15 pin D-sub) – Connects an external monitor to the analyzer.
•Analog out ports – Provides a DC voltage proportional to the measured gas
concentration. If this output is connected to an external device, it must be
terminated into a moderate to high impedance (>1 kOhm).
•MIU port (25-pin data port) – For connecting to a Multiport Inlet Unit (optional).
•WVISS- Only applicable for the GLA132-WVIA

Plumbing Diagram
The plumbing diagram measures the internal flow of gas through the analyzers.
Standard Plumbing
Figure 6 shows an example of the internal flow of gas in an ultraportable analyzer.
Plumbing configurations will vary depending on the analyzer type.
Figure 6: Plumbing Diagram for a GLA132-GGA analyzer
The internal pump draws gas through the SAMPLE INLET on the left side panel of the
analyzer. The gas is filtered through a screen filter before entering the pressure controller,
which regulates the pressure to maintain a specific set point. The gas travels through the
optical cell and out through the WASTE port.
Figure 7 shows the plumbing diagram for a GLA132-CCIA2

Inlet/Outlet Connections
The inlet and outlet ports are located on the left side panel of the analyzer. (Figure 8)
•Gas to be measured is connected to the ¼” push-connect INLET port.
•An External In-Line Filter (Figure 10) is provided and can be attached to the INLET
port.
During normal operation, the pump draws the sample through the analyzer inlet, and
exhausts the sample through the waste port.
The ¼” push-connect WASTE port may be:
•Routed to the facility ventilation system, or
•Remain open, expelling non-hazardous gas into the room air.
