GAS 222.31 Ex2
1 Introduction
1.1 Intended Use
The sample gas probe is intended for installation into gas analysis systems in commercial applications.
It may be operated in a Zone 2, explosion class IIC, explosive gas atmosphere which is rarely and only temporarily explosive. Zone
2 explosive gas atmospheres may be extracted with or transported with these probes. The probe has a temperature switch
which may only be operated as simple electrical equipment on an intrinsically-safe circuit supplied by a type-tested switch amp-
lifier.
The explosion protection markings on the probes are:
ATEX: II 3G Ex ec ic mb1 IIC T3/T4 Gc
IECEx: Ex ec ic mb1 IIC T3/T4 Gc
1 Only for versions with solenoid valve.
Sample gas probes are among the main components in a gas conditioning system.
– Therefore also note the related drawing in the data sheet in the appendix.
– Before installing the device, verify the listed technical data meet the application parameters.
– Further verify all contents are complete.
Please refer to the type plate to identify your model. In addition to the job number it also contains the item number and model
designation.
Please note the specific values of the device when connecting, and the correct versions when ordering spare parts.
Passing through gases
Flammable gases above the UEL (upper explosion limit) may only be blown back with inert gases. Flammable gases from 25% LEL
(lower explosion limit) and up to the LEL may be blown back provided the operator ensures the blown back gas is not and cannot
be explosive. For safety reasons we recommend only using inert gases in these cases as well.
Blowing back explosive atmospheres (range from LEL to UEL) with the probes is prohibited due to possible adiabatic compres-
sion (high blowback pressure against contaminated filter). The operator is responsible for compliance with these conditions tak-
ing into account his risk assessment.

2 Safety instructions
2.1 Important Information
This unit may only be used if:
– the product is being used under the conditions described in the operating- and installation instructions, used according to
the nameplate and for applications for which it is intended. any unauthorized modifications to the device will void the war-
ranty provided by Bühler Technologies GmbH,
– the limits in the data sheet and the instructions must be observed,
– the temperature switch is being operated on an intrinsically-safe circuit,
– the controller itself is installed outside the explosive area,
– the handle including O-ring are installed at a suitable ambient temperature range and filter (where applicable),
– monitoring equipment / protection devices must be connected correctly,
– service and repairs not described in these instructions is performed by Bühler Technologies GmbH,
– using genuine replacement parts.
Regulation IEC/EN60079-14 must be observed when erecting electrical systems in explosive areas.
Additional national regulations pertaining to initial operation, operation, maintenance, repairs and disposal must be observed.

damage to the spare parts.
Always observe the applicable safety and operating regulations in the respective country of use when performing any type of
maintenance.
NOTICE Accessories may limit critical operating parameters of the base unit
Adding accessories may limit critical operating parameters. Ambient temperatures, zone
classifications, explosion groups, temperature classes or chemical resistances of ac-
cessories may vary from the base unit.
Always include all technical data in the operating instructions and data sheets of all
components in the safety assessment.
NOTICE When used in explosive areas
Regulation IEC/EN60079-14 must be observed when erecting electrical systems in ex-
plosive areas.
Additional national regulations pertaining to initial operation, operation, maintenance,
repairs and disposal must be observed.

GAS 222.31 Ex2
DANGER Toxic, corrosive gas/condensate
Sample gas/condensate may be hazardous to health.
a) If necessary, ensure a safe gas/condensate discharge.
b) Always disconnect the gas supply when performing maintenance or repairs.
c) Protect yourself from toxic/corrosive gasses/condensate when performing mainten-
ance. Wear appropriate protective equipment.
DANGER Explosion hazard
Life and explosion risk may result from gas leakage due to improper use.
a) Use the devices only as described in this manual.
b) Regard the process conditions.
c) Check tubes and hoses for leakage.
DANGER Danger to life and explosion during installation and maintenance
The unit must not be worked on (assembly, installation, maintenance) in explosive at-
mospheres.
DANGER
Use in explosive areas
Flammable gasses could ignite or explode. Avoid the following hazard sources:
Application area!
Never operate the gas probe outside the specifications. Extracting gases or gas mixtures
which are also explosive in the absence of air is prohibited.
Electrostatic charge (sparking)!
The equipment may only be used where normal operating conditions do not frequently
produce flammable, electrostatic discharge.
Always clean plastic housing parts and decals with a damp cloth.
Sparking!
Protect the M3 connectors from external blows.
Flame propagation!
If the process holds a risk of flame propagation, install a flame arrestor.
Adiabatic compression (explosion hazard)
Adiabatic compression may cause high gas temperatures during blowback. Never blow-
back if gases are explosive. Only use nitrogen (inert gas) to blowback flammable gas.
2.3 Special conditions for safe use
The temperature switch must be operated intrinsically safe. See parameters in chapter “Connecting the Temperature Switch”.
2.4 Ambient Temperature range of the equipment
The ambient temperature range may be limited based on the version. Please note the Ambient temperature ranges under
"Technical Data".
