1Introduction
1.1 Utilization / intended use
The anapol EU-50 flue gas analysis computer is an electronic measuring device that is designed for the
monitoring and optimal adjustment of combustion plants. This device is especially set up for combustion
plants burning fossil fuels, such as oil and gas for example.
1.2 Preventive measures
No measurements may be taken using the anapol EU-50 measuring device at the following plants, as the
device could become damaged:
- TO BE OBSERVED WITHOUT FAIL -
The device is not suitable for diesel systems, car engines, combustion plants
that experience indicates have a CO content of more than 2,000 ppm
1.3 Function
The flue gas to be investigated is sucked up with the aid of a diaphragm pump and fed via a water
separator to the various sensors.
The output signals from the sensors are prepared using appropriate amplification circuits and digitized by
an analogue/digital converter. These results are recorded by the computer and converted into the final
measurement results.
The function of the device is arranged in such a way that the necessary instructions appear on the display,
guaranteeing an accurate, simple measurement procedure.

2Operation
2.1 Commissioning
Before every measurement, check the three-way filters.
As soon as the white synthetic cotton pad turns grey, the three-way filter must be
replaced.
2.1.1 Procedure:
⇒At low external temperatures, to avoid the danger of condensation which could lead to measuring
errors, you should wait until the device reaches room temperature before making the first
measurement.
⇒Switch device on.
⇒Connect fresh air temperature probe, if not already connected, and position in the same place as
where the combustion plant draws in fresh air.
Fresh air temperature probe Exhaust gas temperature probe
2.1.2 Switch device on.
The following text appears on the display:
Exhaust gas analysis
computer
anapol EU-50 V3.XX
M: Menu
E: continue
E = ENTER key
By pressing this key you go to the configuration menu. For details please see "Menu".
With this key you always go one step further on, no matter where you are. Basically, you just have to
follow the instructions on the display to be able to successfully carry out a measurement.

Probe hose
⇒Connect the probe hose to the GAS connection.
If not already fixed, position the water separator.
Water separator
⇒Close the measuring probe with the red sealing cap provided. Then press the key and the
hydrostatic test starts which counts down from 40.
This appears on the display:
Hydrostatic test
40
In the event of a leak, the following appears on the display:
Leaky probe or
water separator
In this case, you must check the device for any leaks.
Possible sources of faults: condensate vessel, seals in condensate vessel, various hose connections, front
part of probe or filter. Once you have located the source of the fault, press the key and the
hydrostatic test will be started again.
If it is impossible to achieve a leak-free device, it must be checked over by anapol.
As soon as the device is sealed, this appears on the display:
Leak tightness OK
Probe to
fresh air
⇒Remove the red sealing cap and press the key: the pump starts up and the device begins the
calibration process.
2.2 Calibration
The calibration procedure starts now.
Position the fresh air probe where the combustion plant to be measured draws
in its fresh air.
The device is now in the calibration phase. The following appears on the display:

TA 23.4°C 100
Battery [####]
Current date, current time
Ambient temp. of fresh air probe, calibration time 100 secs.
Battery charge status
The device automatically begins the calibration procedure, which lasts 100 seconds. You can see the time
remaining on the display.
⇒Do not touch the device until this procedure has been completed.
Once the 100 seconds has expired, the predefined standard fuel (see "Settings") appears on the display
with the respective fuel-specific factors for the calculation of exhaust gas losses.
1 heating oil el
CO2 max = 15.5%
A2 = 0.68 B = 0.007
Selection of fuel
Fuel-specific factors
If you require another fuel, select it using the following keys:
to or
A maximum of 8 fuels can be selected (see "Free fuels")
e.g. Switzerland: five fuels are pre-programmed, three can be programmed.
1. Heating oil el
2. Natural gas atm
3. Natural gas Gbl
4. Town gas
5. Liquid gas
⇒Once you have selected the fuel and confirmed it with the key, you must still specify the
required unit of measurement. On the display, you will see
1 heating oil el
CO2 max = 15.5%
A2 = 0.68 B = 0.007
mg3%O2
Selections available
confirm with :
mg 3%O2, ppm 0%O2, ppm, mg/m3

2.3 Measurement
After successful commissioning and calibration, you can now take measurements at your combustion
plant.
⇒Put the cone into the aperture provided for this purpose in the burner exhaust outlet and turn it
until it is tight and the measuring probe stays in position on its own. On the display, you will see:
O2 7.3% TA 19.0°C
CO2 10.1% TG 38.0°C
CO 6m qAF 0.6%
qA 1.1%
Measured exhaust gas values,
TA = Fresh air temperature,
TG = Exhaust gas temperature,
qAF = Corr. Exhaust gas losses (see "Evaluation of measurements
qA-F") qA = exhaust gas losses continue with or
qAF 0.6%
qA 1.1%
11:41:07 04.03.04
qAF = Corrected exhaust gas losses
qA = Exhaust gas losses
Time and date. Continue with or
Depending on what you are using as optional sensors or how you have set up your
device, an appropriate arrangement of the values appears on the display. (See
"Menu")
⇒Now look for the main flow with the probe. You can move the probe around until you find the
highest temperature.
You can now read your measurement off the display.
To print out your measurement results, please see "Printing".
