Function
•The device serves for continuous measurement of gas concentrations in industrial plants
•The device is an in-situ measuring system which means measuring is done directly in the gas carrying duct
•Measuring components: NH3, NH3 + H2O as well as reference values temperature and pressure
•Measuring principle: Diode laser spectroscopy (TDLS) (laser protection class 1)
•To maintain measuring reliability, a permanent air flow (optics purge air) protects and keeps the optics free
from soot and dust particles as well as condensate and moisture condensation
•Ignition protection type “pressurized enclosure” is effective when using the GM700 Ex in Zone 2 potentially
explosive atmospheres. All relevant enclosures of the sender/receiver unit and connection unit connected
together via a pressure-proof metal hose are purged with a protective gas. The protective gas can be air suc‐
tioned in from the non-potentially explosive atmosphere or an inert gas.
3.7.1 Function of the pressurized enclosure
Purpose of the pressurized enclosure
The pressurized enclosure ensures Ex atmosphere cannot enter the device from out‐
side. To this purpose, the gas analyzer enclosure is filled with a protective gas. Apart
from that, it is ensured that the gas pressure inside the gas analyzer enclosure is higher
than the surrounding air pressure.
Functionality during operation
The pressurized enclosure system functions in “leakage compensation” mode: An over‐
pressure is generated in the device in relation to the atmosphere after pre-purging has
completed. If the protective gas pressure sinks below the minimum pressure set, pro‐
tective gas feed is activated until the selected overpressure is reached again.
Safety functions
If the maximum permitted overpressure is exceeded or the maximum permitted under‐
pressure underrun, the Ex control unit switches an alarm contact which must be perma‐
nently evaluated (responsibility of plant operator, see FS840 Pressurized Enclosure
Manual).
3.8 Purge air unit
•The purge air unit must be in an Ex-free area and suction Ex-free purge air
•The purge air unit supplies filtered ambient air to the measuring probe
•This protects the front window of the SR-unit and the reflector in the measuring
probe against contamination and high gas temperatures
•The purge air is blown into the gas duct through the “flange with tube”.

3.9 Check cycle
Cyclic check cycle for zero and sensitivity checks
Start a check cycle via
•Timer trigger: Configurable 0 ... 1440 minutes (= 1 day), see menu “Settings /
Check Cycle”
•External digital input signal (Di 1)
Purpose of check cycle
■Checking the zero point and span point without feeding span gases.
Check cycle procedure
The measuring sequence to determine the zero and check point is performed. The digi‐
tal input uses a falling edge for triggering, i.e. performance of a check cycle is sup‐
pressed as long as the signal is high (e.g., for control purposes).
Signaling
“Function control” (relay 3) is signaled per digital output during output of the zero and
check point.
Output
The output runs for 90 seconds each for the zero point followed by the check point.
•Unit and scaling for the current zero point according to the settings.
•Check or span point is displayed as percentage scaled to 70% of the measuring
range.
The same calculation method is used for the deviation as for the gas concentration with
the exception of correction factors which result from a gas adjustment as well as cus‐
tomer correction factors from menu PAR/SETTINGS / REGRESS. FUNCT. During the
check cycle output, the zero and span point are displayed in the lower display line paral‐
lel to the analog output. These can be viewed in menu DIAG/CHECK VALUES/<GAS> for
subsequent checks. Prerequisite is that the output has already been made via an ana‐
log output.
Deviations
A warning message is output, e.g., “AO1 NH3 ZEROPoint” when the zero or check point
deviation is above 2% of the upper display limit of an analog output.
The warning message remains until the next check cycle output is within the tolerance.

channel
The explosion protection relating to optical radiation in the measur‐
ing channel is satisfied in accordance with the temperature range
(-20°... +60 °C) specified by ATX/IECEx. The plant operator must
evaluate Ex atmospheres possibly present for exhaust gas temper‐
atures exceeding this range separately and take suitable protective
measures!
