Warning notice system
This manual contains notices you have to observe in order to ensure your personal safety, as well as to prevent
damage to property. The notices referring to your personal safety are highlighted in the manual by a safety alert
symbol, notices referring only to property damage have no safety alert symbol. These notices shown below are
graded according to the degree of danger.
DANGER
indicates that death or severe personal injury will result if proper precautions are not taken.
WARNING
indicates that death or severe personal injury may result if proper precautions are not taken.
CAUTION
indicates that minor personal injury can result if proper precautions are not taken.
NOTICE
indicates that property damage can result if proper precautions are not taken.
If more than one degree of danger is present, the warning notice representing the highest degree of danger will
be used. A notice warning of injury to persons with a safety alert symbol may also include a warning relating to
property damage.
Qualified Personnel
The product/system described in this documentation may be operated only by personnel qualified for the specific
task in accordance with the relevant documentation, in particular its warning notices and safety instructions.
Qualified personnel are those who, based on their training and experience, are capable of identifying risks and

Description

3.1 Field of application and features
3.1.1 Field of application
The FIDAMAT 6 gas analyzer is used for quantitative determination of hydrocarbons.
The measuring principle is based on flame ionization detection (FID). When all requirements
for purity of the zero gas, calibration gas and operating gases are met, the detection limit is
approx. 30 ppb. During the combustion of hydrocarbons in a hydrogen flame, ions are
formed that are in turn converted into a current flow by the application of an electric field. The
resulting amperage is a measure of the number of carbon atoms.
Note
The FIDAMAT 6 is designed for continuous operation. Frequent switching on and off (e.g.
daily) can negatively affect the service life of the ignition device and pilot light.
3.1.1.1 Field of application of the FIDAMAT 6-E
Measuring environment
The FIDAMAT 6-E is suitable for measurements of hydrocarbons:
●In the presence of up to 100% water vapor
●With high-boiling components (up to 200 °C)
●In the presence of corrosive gases (with preliminary filter)
●In ultra-pure gas applications
Properties of the device
The FIDAMAT 6-E has the following properties:
●Extremely low cross-sensitivity to interfering gases
●Low consumption of combustion air
The device is also equipped with warning and fault messages, e.g. in case of the following:
●Failure of combustion gas
●Extinguishing of the flame
