2 Safety advices
Version 1.3 Operation manual MGA 12 Page 11 of 78
2 Safety advices
2.1 General remarks
WARNING
Actuate the measuring device MGA 12 only in perfect state and under strict
observance of the safety hints!
The MultiGasAnalyser MGA 12 is only allowed to be connected to the supply voltage shown
on the type plate (see 10 Technical data page 73).
The MGA 12 is only allowed to be operated at a power supply with ground contact. The
protective effect must not be revoked by an extension cable without protective ground. Each
interruption of the protective ground inside or outside the device is dangerous and not
permitted.
Before opening any component of the device the MultiGasAnalyser MGA 12 has to be de-
energized by switching the pre-fuse.
Neither it is allowed to use the MGA 12 in potential explosive rooms nor to measure in
explosive gaseous mixtures.
Cables should be assembled in a way that a danger of accident by stumbling or getting
caught on the pipes is avoided.
The MGA 12 as whole as well as the single components are only allowed to be operated in
the original state. If elements have to be exchanged the manufacturer’s original parts shall
be used.
Changes in the configuration of the MGA 12, that means the modification of parameters
which usually are not at the user’s disposal, can endanger the safety and functioning of the
MultiGasAnalyser and are done at one’s own risk! Therefore changes in configuration shall
be executed by authorised service technicians or by manufacturer’s staff.
Coverings of the MGA 12 are only allowed to be removed during dead voltage status.
Elements are device-typically configured and, therefore, are not interchangeable among
different MGA´s.
ATTENTION
Installation, operation, maintenance and all kind of repair have to be done
solely by skilled staff referring to the corresponding regulations.

ADVICE
For the installation in an analysis cabinet mounting respectively supporting
rails have to be mounted.
3.2 Function
The MultiGasAnalyser MGA 12 is a highly sensitive system for continuous measurement
of gas components in exhaust gases of industry. It can measure up to 8 components at
the same time.
The optic bench for the measurement of the infrared-active components consists primarily
of an infrared source, a measuring cell and a detector.
3.2.1 Measuring principle
In MGA 12 2 measuring principles are used, being independent from each other and
selectively working:
Infrared absorption and
Electrochemical cell

Infrared absorption
This spectroscopic method is based on the
absorption of non-dispersive IR radiation.
The attenuation in the radiation which
depends on the wavelength is a degree of
the respective concentration of the gas.

Fig. 3.9: Working principle of the infrared channel
Electrochemical cell
The principle of the electrochemical cell is
shown at the example of an oxygen
measuring cell:
The oxygen sensor operates according to
the principle of a fuel cell.
The oxygen is converted at the boundary
layer between the cathode and electrolyte;
the resulting current is proportional to the
concentration of oxygen.
Fig. 3.10: Working principle of the oxygen measuring cell
In Fig. 3.11 the schematic structure of the optic bench is shown. An electrically pulsed
radiation source is used as emitter. In order to get a better focusing of the optical path a
parabolic reflector is used. The cuvettes consist of aluminium tubes with a high gloss
finished surface.

The gas supply and offtake is done via pasted DN 4/6 flanges.
The IR-beam is diffracted in the long path cuvette by the high gloss finished aluminium
surface. Then it gets to the IR detectors with narrow band filters. These are arranged in a
thermostate where the temperature for the filters and the detectors is kept constantly.
A multi-pyro-detector is used as radiation receiver.

Paramagnetic oxygen sensor
Fig. 3.12: Paramagnetic oxygen sensor
ADVICE
If the device is supplied with a paramagnetic oxygen sensor, on the input
side, a pressure of approx. 100 mbar must be present in order to generate a
flow rate of 1 l/min.
The cause of the higher pre-pressure is due to the internal bypass of the
sensor. The bypass is responsible for the flow stabilisation of the
paramagnetic oxygen sensor.
At determination of the O2 content
the paramagnetic measuring
method applies. The measuring
cell consists of a non-
homogeneous magnetic field with
a diamagnetic, nitrogen-filled glass
bar-bell. Therein the paramagnetic
oxygen molecules of the
measuring gas react. By the
therefrom motivated rotation of the
glass bar-bell the emitted light of
the light source is led via the mirror
to the photo detector in the
respective interval, whereupon the
incoming light signal is
proportional to the oxygen
concentration in the measuring
gas.

4.1 Installation instructions
The gas analyser MGA 12 is designed as 19"-device. It can be inserted and screwed into
a suitable 19"-frame with slide bars.
ADVICE
A place of installation being free of shocks should be chosen.
During operation the allowable ambient temperature has to be kept.
In case of humid exhaust gas a gas cooler has to be connected ahead generally.
Fig. 4.1: Installation MGA 12
WARNING: POWER SUPPLY
Only an electrical specialist is allowed to connect the device to the power
supply net!
WARNING: DANGER OF INJURY BY LIFTING HEAVY WEIGHT
Wrong lifting can lead to painful and potential lasting damages to the back.
Use only suitable tools or techniques for lifting or moving the device.
ATTTENTION: PRESSURE
The measuring system is configured for the operation with ambient pressure.
The gas exit always has to be unsealed and open against ambient pressure
during operation.
WARNING: POISONOUS EXHAUST GASES – DANGER OF TOXICATION
Exhaust gases are mostly toxic. The gas exits of the measuring system have
to be led either outside or into a haul-off.

4.2 Gas conditioning
In order to avoid the pollution of the parts passed by the measuring gas, the measuring
gas has to be conditioned in a sufficient way. Generally the following items are placed in
front of the MGA 12
a gas sampling probe with filter,
a measuring gas cooler with condensate pump,
an analysis filter (ca. 1-2 µm) and
an external pump to suck gas in.
Depending on the quality of the measuring gas additional accessories are necessary, e.g.
a washing bottle, additional filters and a pressure reducer.
