8 DESCRIPTION
The universal-filter out of PTFE with integrated filter elements (fineness 3 or 0,1 µm) is placed in an
electrically heated 2-part aluminium construction.
The temperature is controlled by an integrated compact capillary sensor thermostat with an excess
temperature limit switch with reset key at +30°C above Tset and an alarm function for low temperature
alarm at -30°C below Tset with voltage free status-alarm contact. The thermostat as well as the
electrical terminals are placed in the junction box.
The temperature of the filter is shown on a thermometer. For isolation and protection reasons, the
heated filter part is covered with a cap.
To prevent heating-interruptions, the in- and outlet connection area is heated too. The clamps are
fixed in order to support the sample lines.
The filter in- and outlet can be turned 180° on the oven top position to achieve easy mounting and
flexible adaptation to local circumstances.

dependance on the gas flow.

9 RECEPTION AND STORAGE
The universal filter series FT-…-H2 is normally delivered in one packaging unit:
The universal filter series FT-…-H2 should be removed carefully from the packaging and checked
immediately for completeness against the delivery note.
Check the goods for any damage incurred during transport and if necessary inform your transport
insurer of any damage.
10 PREPARATION AND INSTALLATION
Locate the universal filter series FT-…-H2 in such a way that there is adequate space for removing
the cover and replacing the filter elements. Fix the aluminium plate with 4 screws.
Make certain that the universal filter series FT-…-H2 is easily accessible so that you can carry out any
subsequent maintenance work without trouble.
11 MOUNTING
For mounting the filter we recommend the following procedure:
Remove the cover of the heated filter after opening the two clamping devices.
Disconnect the thermal conductivity jaws on the left and right side of the filter head in by
loosening the screws.
In order to connect the sample lines, screw in suitably sized threaded connectors with a G ¼”
connecting thread using PTFE sealing tape.
NOTE!
Use only connectors approved for 180°C!
Make sure that the connection is leak proof!
Factory set the filter is mounted with inlet on the right and outlet on the left side. To turn that by 180 °
consider the following:
Loosen, the 2 screws (M4), placed at the outside of the the top plate.
Pull out the filter from heating jacket
Loosen the 2 screws, at the inside of the top plate
Turn the filter by 180° and fix it with the inner screws at the top plate
Put in the filter into the aluminium heating jacket and fix it with the two outer screws at the top
plate
Connect the sample lines and assemble the two thermal conductivity jaws on the in and outlet
once again.
Put the cover of the heated filter on top again and close the clamping devices.

12 ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
WAR NING!
When connecting the equipment, please ensure that the supply
voltage is identical with the information provided on the model
type plate.
After mounting the filter, the posssibility of getting in touch with
live parts has to be prevented!
The use of temperature resistant cable is necessary !
NOTE!
Attention must be paid to the requirements of IEC 364 (DIN VDE
0100) when setting high-power electrical units with nominal
voltages of up to 1000 V, together with the associated standards
and stipulations.
A main switch and matching fuse must be provided externally!
The main circuit must be equipped with a fuse corresponding to
the nominal current (over current protection), for electrical details
see technical data.
Remove the lid of the electrical connection box. The electrical connection layout is located in
the lid.
Insert the mains cable (min. 3 x 1.5 mm²) through the cable gland and connect to the
appropriate terminals (Fig.2).
Insert the signal cable through the cable gland and connect to the appropriate terminals.
Screw lid back on.

13 STARTING
Before using the equipment for the first time, check that the safety measures specific to the
installation and process are complied with!
For the carried media the corresponding safety regulations and measures have to be considered.
WAR NING!
Before starting up check whether the mains power supply voltage
corresponds with the information stated on the nameplate.
Beware of touching the filter surface during operation. Serious
burns can occur because of high surface temperatures. Wear
protective gloves and protect the filter from unauthorized access.
The following procedure is recommended:
Check the rated value setting on the built-in thermostat.
NOTE!
If the rated value temperature needs to be lowered more than 30°C
in one step duration operation, the thermostat's excess
temperature switch-off is triggered (for re-start press reset key).
Switch on mains power supply.
NOTE!
The total heating-up time is approximately 30 minutes. After
exceeding the low temperature limit (30°C below set temperature)
the filter is ready for operation.
In case of low temperature alarm (failure of heating) the gas flow
has to be interrupted by adequate measures!

14 FT-…-H2 | 1.00.01 www.mc-techgroup.com
14 MAINTENANCE
The safety instructions specific to the plant and process are to be consulted prior to any maintenance
work!
WAR NING!
Aggressive condensate is possible.
Wear protective glasses and proper protective clothing!
High surface temperatures!
Touching the filter surface can cause serious burns!
Wear protective gloves and protect the filter of unauthorized
access!
Prior to carrying out maintenance work on electrical parts, mains
voltage should be disconnected from all poles!
This also applies to any external control circuits, which may be
connected.
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 filter-maintenance may be necessary could be shown by a constant decline in the
amount of sample gas in the analysis system.
Filter maintenance is restricted essentially to replacing filter elements and checking seals.
The filter element has to be replaced as follows:
Remove cover lid.
Open the clamps of the aluminium heating body and remove the lower part.
Unscrew the glass of the filter by turning left.
Screw out the filter's knurled screw and replace filter element. (If more than 70% of the filter
has changed colour, it must be replaced!)
Check filter element seals and replace if necessary.
Clean filter chamber.
Assemble the filter in reverse sequence. The lower part of the heating body is supplied with 2 pins for
easy assembling. The pins must fit to the two holes in the upper part of the heated body.
