DANGER Electrical voltage
Electrocution hazard.
a) Disconnect the device from power supply.
b) Make sure that the equipment cannot be reconnected to mains unintentionally.
c) The device must be opened by trained staff only.
d) Regard correct mains voltage.
DANGER Toxic, corrosive gases
The measuring gas led through the equipment can be hazardous when breathing or
touching it.
a) Check tightness of the measuring system before putting it into operation.
b) Take care that harmful gases are exhausted to a save place.
c) Before maintenance turn off the gas supply and make sure that it cannot be turned
on unintentionally.
d) Protect yourself during maintenance against toxic / corrosive gases. Use suitable pro-
tective equipment.

3 Transport and storage
Only transport the product inside the original packaging or a suitable alternative.
The equipment must be protected from moisture and heat when not in use. They must be stored in a covered, dry and dust-free

4 Installation and connection
4.1 Installation site requirements
Sample gas probes are intended for flange mounting.
– Installation site and installation position are determined based on requirements specific to the application.
– If necessary, the connection piece should be slightly tilted toward the centre of the channel.
– The installation site should be protected from the weather.
– In addition, adequate and safe access for installation and future maintenance work should be provided. Particularly follow
the uninstalled size of the probe tube!
If the probe is transported to the installation site in pieces, it will first need to be assembled.
4.2 Installing the Sampling Tube
The sampling tube, if necessary with the fitting extension, must be screwed in. The probe is then attached to the mating flange
using the included seal and nuts.
4.3 Installing the downstream filter
NOTICE
The downstream filter and the O-ring for the handle must be inserted prior to first star-
tup.
Operating without downstream filter prohibited!
O-ring handle
Attach an O-ring suitable for the expected ambient temperature to the handle.
Attach the downstream filter to the handle. Then carefully insert the handle with
filter in the gas probe and turn 90° to secure.
Verify the handle is seated correctly. When seated correctly it locks onto the filter
housing.
4.4 Insulation
On heated probes completely insulate any exposed flange areas and, if applicable, the connection piece to absolutely prevent
thermal bridges. The insulating material must meet the application requirements and be weatherproof.

WARNING Gas emanation
Sample gas can be harmful to the health!
Check the lines for leaks.
4.5.1 Connecting the Gas Line
Please note the following items when connecting the sample gas line (NPT 1/4") on heated probes to prevent thermal bridges:
– Choose the shortest possible screw connection.
– Shorten the connection pipe for the sample gas line as much as possible. To do so, remove the insulation around the sample
gas line. This is done by loosening the fixing bolts.
CAUTION Fragile
The insulation is fragile. Handle with care, do not drop.
After connecting the sample gas line it must be braced and secured with the clamp.
Long sample gas lines may require additional support clamps along the way to the analysis system! Once all lines have been
connected and checked for leaks, carefully reinstall and secure the insulation.
WARNING Gas emanation
Sample gas can be harmful to the health!
Check the lines for leaks.
8 Bühler Technologies GmbH BE460039 ◦ 10/2019

GAS 222.17
4.5.2 Connecting the calibrating gas line (optional)
Connecting the calibrating gas line requires a Ø6 mm or Ø1/4” pipe fitting.
If the calibrating gas connection was ordered with check valve, a Ø6 mm or Ø1/4” pipe can be connected directly to the check
valve.
4.6 Electrical connections
WARNING Hazardous electrical voltage
The device must be installed by trained staff only.
CAUTION Wrong mains voltage
Wrong mains voltage may damage the device.
Regard the correct mains voltage as given on the type plate.
Electric strength test
The necessary tests of all assemblies required to be tested were carried out at the factory (test voltage 1 kV or 1.5 kV depending
on component).
To check the electric strength again yourself, only do so on the respective individual components.
– Now perform the electric strength test against earth.
4.6.1 Plug Connection
The probe includes two cubic plugs per EN 175301-803. The plug is configured so it cannot be connected reversed. For safety reas-
ons this configuration must not be modified.
One plug is for the power supply, the other is the alarm output. Please see the enclosed terminal diagram for the connection.
The probe itself has self-regulating heating elements and can therefore be connected to a 100V-230VAC power supply.

6 Service
During maintenance, remember:
– The equipment must be maintained by a professional familiar with the safety requirements and risks.
– Only perform maintenance work described in these operating and installation instructions.
– When performing maintenance of any type, observe the respective safety and operation regulations.
DANGER Electrical voltage
Electrocution hazard.
a) Disconnect the device from power supply.
b) Make sure that the equipment cannot be reconnected to mains unintentionally.
c) The device must be opened by trained staff only.
d) Regard correct mains voltage.
DANGER The gas inside the filter, condensate and used filter elements may be caustic or corros-
ive.
Sample gas can be harmful.
a) Before maintenance turn off the gas supply and surge with air if necessary.
b) Exhaust sample gas to a safe place.
c) Protect yourself against toxic / corrosive gas during maintenance. Wear appropriate
personal protection equipment.
CAUTION Hot surface
Risk of burns
Depending on the operating parameters, the housing temperature may reach over 100
°C during operation.
Allow the unit to cool down before performing maintenance.
CAUTION Excess pressure
The unit mustn’t be pressurised or energised when opened.
If necessary, close the gas supply and ensure a safe pressure on the process end before
opening.
6.1 Maintaining the filter element
The probes feature a particle filter which needs to be changed as it becomes dirty.
To do so, disconnect the voltage supply and if applicable close the shut-off valve to the process or switch off the process.
CAUTION!Do not damage the rear filter seat.
NOTICE
Ceramic filter elements are very brittle by nature. Handle them with care, don’t let them
fall.
Filter elements made out of sintered stainless steel can be cleaned in an ultrasonic bath
and be used several times as long as both seals are still in proper conditions.

GAS 222.17
6.1.1 Replacing the downstream filter
– Unlock and lift up the weather hood.
– Turn the handle at the back end of the probe by 90° (handle must then be horizontal), pushing in slightly, and remove.
– Remove the dirty filter element and check the sealing surfaces.
– Before installing the new filter element, replace the seal on the handle plug (seal included with the filter element).
– Then carefully insert the handle with new filter, push in slightly and turn 90° (handle must then be vertical). Pull on the
handle to verify the filter element is firmly seated.
– With the filter removed, if necessary also need clean the inside of the sampling tube by blowing it out or using a cleaning
wand.
NOTICE
The weather hood can only be closed again when the handle is completely vertical. In or-
der to do so, loosen the hood from the locking supports by lifting slightly and then fold
down. Ensure that the hood lock clicks into place correctly.
6.1.2 Replacing the Outlet Filter with Micro-Fibreglass Filter Element
– Turn the handle at the rear end of the probe by 90° (handle must be horizontal), pushing in slightly, and remove.
– Unscrew the dirty filter element counter-clockwise from the thread of the handle.
– Pull both stainless steel filter seats off the filter element.
– Before installing the new filter element, replace the seal on the handle and inside the stainless steel filter seats (seals are in-
cluded with the filter element).
– Then turn the handle with the new filter by 90° (handle must be vertical), pushing in slightly.
CAUTION!Do not damage the rear filter seat.
