1Introduction
1.1 Application / intended use
The anapol EU-2000 Gas Analysis Computer is an electronic measuring device, designed for monitoring
and ensuring the best possible setting for firing systems. This device is particularly designed for firing
systems using fossil fuel, such as oil and gas.
- IMPORTANT -
•The device can only be opened by trained and authorized personal
otherwise the warranty shall become null and void.
•Before opening the device, make shure it is switched off and the power
cord has been disconnected.
•The device may only be connected to earthed installations.
1.2 Precautionary measures
The anapol EU-2000 measuring device may not be used for metering the following systems as the device
may otherwise be damaged:
- IMPORTANT -
The device is unsuitable for Diesel systems, car engines and combustion
systems, generally producing more than 2000 ppm of CO content.
1.3 Function
The gas to be analysed is taken in by a membrane pump and is forwarded to the different sensors via the
water separator.
The output signals of the sensors are processed by respective amplifier circuits and are digitized by the
analog/digital converter. The results are recorded by the computer and converted into the final measuring
results.
The function of the device is based on the respective instructions appearing on the display to ensure a
correct and simple measuring process.

2Operation
2.1 Start-up
Prior to each metering operation, check the Purafil filter cartridge.
As soon as the purple/red granulate on one side changes to white/grey, the
cartridge has to be replaced.
2.1.1 Procedure :
ÖIn case of low outside temperatures, open device immediately so that it reaches room
temperature as soon as possible.
ÖPlug-in mains connector.
ÖConnect fresh-air temperature sensor – if not already connected – and position at the
same location from which the firing system obtains its fresh air.
2.1.2 Switching on the device
The following text appears on the display:

M: Menu
E: Continue
E = ENTER key
Upon pressing the key, the configuration menu appears. For details, see „Menu“.
To continue to the next step, press the key, wherever you are in the menu. Generally, you only have
to follow the instructions on the display to carry out a successful metering operation.

Page 8
Upon pressing the key, the following message appears :
Leak test
ÖConnect the hose of the probe to the GAS connection, install the water separator ant
the triple filter as shown in the illustration.
ÖIf the round, white filter paper is still inserted in the holding handle of the metering
probe, it must be removed to continue the test.
ÖSeal the metering probe with the enclosed red sealing cap.
Next press the key and the Leak test commences, counting down from 40.
The display shows:
Leak test
40
In case of a leak, the following message appears on the display:
Leak detected, probe
or water separator
In this case, the device must be checked for leaks.
Potential problem areas: condensate vessel, seals or connections of the condensate vessel, various hose
connections, triple filter or front part of probe. Once the problem area has been found, press the key
and the leak test is repeated.
If the leak test is still unsuccessful, the device must be checked by anapol.
As soon as the leak has been fixed, the following message appears on the display:
No leak
Probe to
fresh air
ÖRemove red sealing cap and press the key. The pump starts and the device starts
its calibration.

Water separator Probe Hose

Page 9
2.2 Calibration
The calibration process is now started.
Position the fresh-air probe at the location from which the firing system to be
metered obtains its fresh air.
The device is now in the calibration phase. The display shows the following message:
04.03.04 11:20:30
TA 23,4°C 100
Current date, current time
Ambient temperature of fresh-air probe, calibration duration 100
sec.
The device automatically starts the calibration. The process takes 100 seconds. The display shows the
remaining time.
ÖLeave the device until the operation has been completed.
After 100 seconds, the display shows the predefined standard fuel (see „settings“) with the respective fuel-
specific factors for calculating the gas losses.

CO2 max = 15.5%
A2 = 0.68 B = 0.007
Selection of fuel
Fuel-specific factors

A maximum of 8 combustion types are programmable (see „Additional fuels“„).
5 types are predefined: e.g. for Switzerland. Three further types can be defined by the user
1. Heating oil el
2. Natural gas atm
3. Natural gas Gbl
4. Municipal gas
5. Liquid gas
ÖOnce the fuel has been selected and confirmed with the key, the desired
measuring unit still has to be specified. On the display, the selection options can then
be viewed

2.3 Measuring
After the successful start-up and the calibration, the measuring of the combustion system can now
commence.
ÖInsert the cone into the opening for the exhaust air from the burner and screw it in
until the metering probe is held in place. The display shows the following
information:
O2 7.3% TA 19.0°C
CO2 10.1% TG 38.0°C
CO 6m la 1.5
NO2 59m qA 1.1%
Measured gas values,
TA = Fresh air temperature,
TG = Gas temperature,
la (lambda) = Excess air
qA = Gas losses continue with or
la 1.5
qA 1.1%
11:41:07 04.03.04
la (lambda) = Excess air
qA = Gas losses
Time and date continue with or
Depending on the setup of optional sensors or of the device, the respective
arrangement of the values appears on the display. (See „Menu“)
ÖNow search for the main flow with the probe. You can move the probe to and fro
until you have found the highest temperature.
You can now read off the value from the display.
To print the measuring results, see „Print“.

Page 11
2.4 Measuring the soot content
This measurement determines the number of soot particles contained in the exhaust air. For this test, the
filter paper method is used (see „Appendix“). 1.63 litres of gas are taken in for the test. The generated
soot spot must be compared to the enclosed soot scale.
The device must be in the measuring mode.
ÖPress the key.
The pump is switched off and the display shows :
Soot test
Insert filter paper
in probe
ÖOpen the clamping device at the back of the holding handle and insert a new, white
filter paper.
ÖInsert the cone into opening for the exhaust air from the burner and screw it in until
the metering probe is held in place.
ÖTo start the test, press the key.
Soot test
Volume ---- lt
Now the gas volume of 1.63 litres is taken in. During the test, the volume already taken in is displayed.
After the required volume has been fully taken up, the following instruction appears:
Remove filter paper
ÖRemove filter paper and compare it with the enclosed soot scale.
To terminate the soot test, press the key.
Insert filter paper
