4.7 Intended use
The portable measurement instrument is used to record H2S concentrations. The device is battery-
operated. The measured and recorded data is stored on a non-volatile storage medium. This stored
data can be transferred to a PC via a wireless connection (wireless M-bus). Using the software
provided by the manufacturer, the data can then be transferred from the PC to a central server for
further processing. The maximum permissible limit values (specified in chapter "Technical data" on
page 11) must be observed. The manufacturer shall not be liable for any operational cases that
deviate from these limit values and have not been approved by the manufacturer in writing.
Note: This device is exclusively intended to be used for the purposes as described above.
Any other use or use beyond what is specified or a modification of the device shall be
deemed to be not for the intended purpose and is not permitted without the express written
consent of the manufacturer. The manufacturer shall not be held liable for any damages that
may result from such unauthorised use or modification. The operator alone bears the
associated risk.
Note: The manufacturer is not liable for data loss of any kind if the device is damaged and
data is not able to be stored correctly.
4.8 General product information
The device is a compact, portable device designed to be operated in wastewater systems to record
and transfer H2S concentrations. The device is equipped with an integrated electrochemical sensor
for this purpose. The sensor is subject to wear and must therefore be calibrated every 6 months.
Depending on the application, the service life of the sensor can be up to 2 years. In addition to the
H2S concentration, the internal measurement values "Int. Temp" (see "Internal channels" on page
39) and "Raw" (raw value of the sensor signal) are determined. All of the generated measurement
data is temporarily saved in an internal data memory at an adjustable interval (see ""Instrument"
tab" on page 52). The stored data can be read out wirelessly (wireless M-bus). The DeviceConfig
configuration program (see "DeviceConfig " on page 43) provided by the manufacturer and the USB
radio transmitter (206.657) included in the scope of delivery are required for this process. In
addition to local processing of the data on the PC, the data can also be transferred to a central
myDatanet server. This server provides a variety of options for managing and displaying the data.
More information is provided in the server manual ("myDatanet Server Manual " 805002).
The myDatasensMINI H2S 1000has a 1,5" OLED display to show the current measurement values
(H2S concentration and temperature) and a variety of status information (e.g. remaining time until
the next calibration, remaining time until the next general overhaul, software version, etc.). The
display is activated by tilting the device by the horizontal axis. Detailed information on this is
provided in chapter "Acceleration sensor" on page 37.
Rev. 01 17

4.9 Device labelling
The specifications in this user manual apply exclusively to the myDatasensMINI H2S 1000 device
type. The type plate is located on the rear side of the device and contains the following
specifications:
lName and address of the manufacturer
lType designation
lDegree of protection
lCE marking
lEnvironmental conditions during operation
lEx protection designation as specified in chapter "Declaration of conformity" on page 9
lSerial number
lHardware revision
lHazard note regarding electrostatic charge
The correct specification of the type designation and serial number is important for all queries and
spare part orders. Only then can we process requests promptly and properly.

Note: These operating instructions are part of the device and must be available to the user at
all times. The safety instructions contained therein must be observed.
DANGER:
It is strictly prohibited to disable the safety equipment or modify its mode of operation.
4.10 Installation of spare and wear parts
Please be advised that spare and accessory parts that have not been supplied by the manufacturer
have also not been inspected or approved by the manufacturer. The installation and/or use of such
products can possibly have a negative impact on the specified constructional properties of the
device. The manufacturer shall not be liable for any damages that arise from the use of non-original
parts and non-original accessory parts.
Note: The use of spare and wear parts that are not approved by the manufacturer shall void
the Ex approval.
18 Rev. 01

Chapter 4 General specifications
4.11 Storage of the product
The myDatasensMINI H2S 1000does not include a special transport mode. The capacity of the
installed batteries is dimensioned in such a way that the max. service life of the sensor (2 years) is
covered. In the event of unfavourable environmental conditions (high H2S concentrations, low
temperatures), it may occur that either the sensor or the battery capacity is depleted before the 2
years have elapsed. If the capacity of the batteries is completely depleted, the configuration and the
most recently determined data are always retained.
If necessary, before storing the myDatasensMINI H2S 1000in its original packaging, download the
data generated up to the current point in time from the device using the DeviceConfig configuration
program (see "DeviceConfig " on page 43). Do not remove the protective armour during this
process. It is recommended to ensure that the device is transported in a horizontal position (display
horizontal to the base). The firmware includes an algorithm that detects any vibrations if
transported in this position and thus prevents the display from activating.
4.12 Obligation of the operator
WARNING:
In the EEA (European Economic Area), the national implementation of the framework
directive (89/391/EEC) as well as the associated specific directives and from these in
particular, the directive (89/655/EEC) about the minimum safety and health requirements for
use of work equipment by workers at work, each in their respective version are to be
complied with.
The operator must obtain the local operating licence and the associated documents.
In addition, the operator must comply with the local legal requirements for
lthe safety of the personnel (accident prevention measures)
lthe safety of the equipment (protective equipment and maintenance)
lthe product disposal (waste disposal law)
lthe material disposal (waste disposal law)
lthe cleaning (cleaning agents and disposal)
land the environmental protection amendments.
Before commissioning, the operator must ensure that the installation and commissioning –
provided these were performed by the operator himself – are in compliance with the local
regulations.
