6 INTRODUCTION
M&C gas sample probes provide direct insitu ultra-fine filtration during continuous gas sampling for
analytic measurements. In this way, part of the necessary maintenance work for a system is
concentrated on a single point. This filter technology has the major advantage that dust mixtures
consisting of ultra-fine and coarse dusts can be optimally retained with the least possible maintenance
work.
Optimal adaptation of the sample probe to processing conditions and to measurement work is a
necessary condition for a measurement system to work smoothly. Basically, the gas sample should be
kept to a necessary minimum. This is made possible thanks to optimised downstream gas processing
using M&C components. Only in this way is it possible to reduce maintenance to a minimum while
ensuring maximum availability.
7 SERIAL NUMBERS
The nameplates bearing the serial number are located on the side of the electrical connection box.
Always quote the device's serial number when making enquiries and ordering replacement parts.
8 POWER SUPPLY
Depending on the version, the probe is operated with 115 or 230 V AC. Precise details can be found
on the device's nameplate.

10 APPLICATIONS
The PSP4000-H... gas sample probes are used for extraction of gases from dust loaded, high-
temperature or humid processes.
Due to its compact design and low weight, the device is envisaged particularly for mobile uses. The
basic probe including the compact sample adapter with variable probe tube lengths enable rapid and
centric gas sampling from, for example, exhaust gas pipes with diameters of between 150 mm [≈ 5.9”]
and 600 mm [≈ 23.6”].
A probe tube with a fixed length of 1 meter extends the range of potential applications.
With version PSP4000-H/C/T, parallel to gas sampling it is also possible to measure the process
temperature at the end of the probe tube using an integrated thermo-couple sensor.
To avoid cooling and condensation of sample gas in the extraction area, a heated sample probe tube
SP34-H is available.
Appropriate accessories are available for mounting the probes directly at the flange or threaded sleeve-
mounting brackets.
The specially designed, electrically-heated sample lines PSP 4M4/6 or PSP-W4M4/6 with reduced outer
diameter can be connected to the PSP4000-H for transporting gas to the gas sample conditioning
system.
NOTE!
The max. length of heated sample lines for PSS-5 gas conditioning systems
with integrated temperature controller is 12 m [≈ 39.4 ft] for 230V/50 Hz resp.
6 m [≈ 19.4 ft ] for 115/60 Hz.
If unheated sample lines are used, this should be conducted on a descending gradient to the gas sample
conditioning system.
11 DESCRIPTION
The standard version is as follows:
The stainless steel filter chamber (SS316Ti) with an integrated 2 µm ceramic depth filter element is
inserted completely into an electrically heated aluminium heating jacket with a heat-insulated protective
casing.
The temperature is adjusted to + 180 °C [356 °F] via an integrated and adjustable capillary tube
thermostat. The green control lamp glows during the heat-up phase and is extinguished when the
heating element temperature is reached. It then comes on and off as the heating element is switched
on and off.
By changing the internal wiring, the sample probe can be operated at 230 V 50 Hz or 115 V 60 Hz. The
standard wiring is for 230 V.
Electrical connection is effected at the connection socket on the probe via the power cable provided with
a 7-pin adapter jack or via an additional cable conducted within the heated sample line PSP 4M4/6 resp.
PSP-W4M4/6 , also with a 7-pin adapter jack.
The adapter jack's pins are wired as follows:
Pin 3: L - Mains power line conductor.
Pin 4: N -Mains power neutral conductor.
Pin 7: PE - Protective earthing conductor.

12 PSP4000-H | 1.01.00 www.mc-techgroup.com
The probe's sample gas outlet connection has a 1/8" NPT inner thread. A temperature resistant 6 mm
tube connector is fittedgas-tight into this to connect the sample line. Once the electrically-heated sample
line PSP 4M4/6 resp. PSP-W4M4/6 has been mounted, the connection is enclosed in special heat-
conducting jaws in order to avoid temperatures falling below the required level in the critical connection
areas.
The heated sample line is rapidly and safely mechanically coupled with a tightening bracket including
integrated quick-coupling.
To ensure simple filter changes, the complete filter unit including the connected sample line can be
drawn out of the heat-insulated protective casing.
In the PSP400H/C special version, calibration-gas into the probe is possible without disassembling the
probe via a special threaded connecting joint.
The special version PSP4000H/C/T allows the process temperature to be measured by way of a
thermo-element which is introduced into this threaded connecting joint. Its length can be adjusted up to
the end of the sampling tube. The standard length of this thermocouple sensor is 600 mm [≈ 23.6”].
Optionally available is the PSP transport case for transporting the PSP4000-H... gas-sample probe
including a maximum 5 m [≈ 16.4 ft] heated sample line PSP 4M4/6 resp. max. 8 m [≈ 26.2 ft] for type
PSP-W4M4/6.
12 RECEIPT OF GOODS
The gas sample probe PSP4000-H... is normally delivered in two packaging units:
1. Basic gas-sample probe with optional mounting accessories.
2. Optional sample tubes.
The gas sample probe should be removed carefully from the packaging and checked immediately for
completeness against the delivery note.
Check thegoodsfor anydamage incurred during transport andif necessary inform your transport insurer
of any damage.
13 PREPARATION AND INSTALLATION
Select the optimal sampling point in accordance with the generally applicable guidelines or consult the
competent persons.
The sampling point should be easily accessible.
Locate the probe connections in such a way that the connections' temperature is always above the acid
dew point in order to avoid corrosion and blockage problems.
If the ambient temperature in the area of the connections is >80 °C [176 °F] as a result of radiated heat,
then a radiated-heat deflector must be mounted to protect the probe.
The probe can also be mounted with an optional mounting flange or R2" threaded mounting fitting.
Before mounting, the probe must be adjusted to the existing operating conditions.

14 SUPPLY CONNECTIONS
14.1 CONNECTING THE HEATED SAMPLE LINE
•Remove the aluminium heat-conducting jaws at the probe'sfilter head by loosening the 4 screws
from the gas outlet's threaded connection. The outlet's threaded connection is provided for the
connection of a tube with an external diameter of 6 mm (optionally 8 mm)
•Before connecting a sample line not specified by M&C, the tube connection should be prepared
according to the following sketch.
M&C's heated sample lines type PSP 4M4/6 and PSP-W4M4/6 are manufactured to fit the mechanical
and electrical connections to the PSP4000-H... gas sample probe and already contain an internal line
for the probe's power supply.
Figure 1 Connection of the heated sample line
•Push the insert into the PTFE tube in order to avoid the tube being compressed and slide the
red silicon protective ring up to the end of the heated sampling tube.
•Introduce the PTFE tube into the threaded connection joint with the double-cutting ring system

14.2 ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
•Plug in the 7-pin plug (power supply) and switch on the power. During the heating up phase, the
green control lamp glows. When the operating temperature is reached (180 °C [356 °F]), the
green control light is extinguished and then lights up when the heating element is switched on
to adjust the temperature.
•For safety reasons, we recommend switching the gas pump on only after another fifteen minutes
has elapsed in order to ensure that the sampling probe heats up completely.
When using the SP34-H... heated sample tube, the electrical connection should be made separately
using the built-in connection socket. The SP34-H sample tube has a built-in capillary tube thermostat
which adjuststhe temperature in a range between 100 °C [212 °F] and 180 °C [356 °F]. (Factory setting
180 °C [356 °F]).
When using the heated sample tube SP34-H1.1 and SP34-H2, an external temperature controller is to
be used for adjusting the temperature.
14.3 CALIBRATION-GAS DISCHARGE

burns due to contact with hot surface.
•Use protective gloves.
•Use personal protective equipment
When using the device for thefirst time and when connecting the heated sample line, proceed as follows:
•In the case of the PSP4000-H, draw the probe's filter chamber forwards out of heat-insulated
protective casing by loosening and removing the black knob (rear side).
•In the case of the PSP4000-H/C, PSP4000-H/C/T, the dummy bolt and the flat nut located on
the rear side of the threaded connection must be loosened and removed to do this.
Then mount the desired probe option at the filter chamber's G3/8" inlet:
•In case of option "probe with adjustable tube length", screw the connecting adapter including its
integrated PTFE conical ring seal 40S9005 with washer into the probe's G3/8" inlet thread. Push
the heat-insulated adapter with its cone connector 40S9000 over the connection adapter's
pressure nut and fix it to the nut with the clamping screw.
•Push the 8 mm sample tube through the conical connection into the filter chamber.
•By turning the adapter to the right, the PTFE conical ring seal is pressed together and thus seals
the sampling tube.

16 PSP4000-H | 1.01.00 www.mc-techgroup.com
NOTE!
Push the sample tube into the connecting adapter up to the marking as
otherwise the conical seal ring will not have a sealing effect.
When using a SP34-H heated sample tube, this should be screwed into the probe's G3/8" inlet threaded
connection. Additional unheated sample tubes or pre-filters can be screwed into the G3/8" threaded
connection at the other end as the need arises.
When mounting the probe in conjunction with the threaded fitting 40S9070, and flange 40S9080, the
connecting adapter with the PTFE conical ring seal 40S9005 and the intermediate adapter G3/4" - 8mm
40S9060 are to be used.
16 MAINTENANCE
It is difficult to give any recommendations as to a particular maintenance cycle. Depending on your
process conditions, a meaningful maintenance cycle must be elaborated for the specific application.
An indication that probe-maintenance may be necessary could be shown by a constant decline in the
amount of sample gas in the analysis system.
Probe maintenance is restricted essentially to replacing filter elements and checking seals.
Caution hot surface
The gas sampling probe is hot. Risk of burns due to contact with hot surface.
•Use protective gloves when changing the filter element.
•Use personal protective equipment
16.1 CHANGING THE FILTER ELEMENT
As far as possible, the filter element should be changed when the probe is cold.
Caution hot surface
The gas sampling probe is hot. Risk of burns due to contact with hot surface.
•Use protective gloves when changing the filter element.
•Use personal protective equipment
To do this in the case of the PSP4000-H, screw off the black knob on the rear side.
In the case of the PSP400-H/C with sample-gas connection and PSP4000-H/C/T with temperature
measurement the dummy bolt on the rear side is first to be removed and the thermo-element drawn out.
Then loosen and remove the threaded connection's hexagon nut.
Now loosen the rapid coupling for the heated sample line holder by pressing down on the outside
coupling ring and draw the complete filter unit out of the heat-insulated protective casing.
Screw the screw-on sleeve off the filter head.
Screw off the filter element holder and replace the filter element.

Check the filter element seals and the O-ring at the filter head and replace if necessary.
Clean filter chamber.
Clean or rod through the sampling tube in order to remove any deposits.
Then re-assemble in reverse order.

17 SWITCHING OFF
Before switching off, i.e. switching off the heating, the probe should be flushed with inert gas or air in
order to avoid condensation of aggressive components from the process gas.
Warning
Aggressive Condensate
Living tissue as well as many materials are destroyed by contact with
this chemical.
•Do not inhale vapors and avoid contact with skin, eyes and
clothing!
•Wear safety glasses and appropriate protective clothing.
18 DISPOSAL
If the device has reached the end of its life cycle, please observe the legal requirements and any other
existing standard regulations in your country.
