2 Safety notes
2.1 Warnings and symbols
In the operating instructions, the following names and symbols are used to denote
particularly important information:
DANGER
Immediate danger that can lead to serious physical injury or death.
WARNING
Potentially hazardous situations that can lead to serious injury or death.
ATTENTION
Potentially hazardous situations that can lead to minor physical injury. This can
also be used for property damage.
NOTE
Denotes information that can make it easier to handle the
process gas analyser or
help prevent property damage.

Safety notes

2.2 Fundamentals of proper use
The process gas analyser serves to identifygases and their quality in biogas, crude
biogas, lean gas and biomethane.
Applications are biological process optimisation during motor control, controlling
preparation systems, analysing biogas, landfill gas and gas from purification plants.
The gas analyser is not suitable for determining the workplace threshold or lower
explosion limit.
In the case of toxic and explosive gases, observe the safety instructions at the
setup site.
The process gas analyser is permanently installed and is intended for use inside
closed rooms in a sufficient quantity of clean ambient air.
Any other use is considered improper. The manufacturer is not liable for the
resulting damage; the associated risk is borne by the installer, fitter, operator or
user. Only certified professionals may alter the process gas analyser (mechanical,
electrical or pneumatic modifications).
WARNING
Proper use includes following these operating instructions. In addition to the
following safety notes, always follow the safety instructions of the linked system
components.
Additional equipment or accessories that are not installed, delivered or
manufactured by UNION Instruments GmbH require the approval of UNION
Instruments GmbH as the manufacturer! Otherwise the guarantee expires.
2.3 Personnel and qualifications
Gas connections and work on the electrical equipment of the process gas analyser
may only be performed by a professional while observing safety regulations.

Safety notes
13
2.4 Safety notes
2.4.1 General notes on safety
WARNING
The process gas analyser may only be operated when all of the protective
equipment is available and operable.
Additional safety notes:

before the corresponding chapters!
2.4.2 Notes regarding special hazards
WARNING
•After installation, all gas conducting parts must be checked for leaks
according to national regulations.
•All repairs that require the protective covering to be opened may only be
performed by trained personnel.
•Sensors can contain sulphuric acid. This may leak in case of improper use.
Protect from contact with skin and eyes.
2.5 Regular operator training
NOTE
Country-specific regulations about regular user training by the operator must be
observed, in particular training on handling gases and electrical equipment.

Safety notes
14
2.6 Workplace hazard analysis
NOTE
Depending on the national regulations, the operator must perform a workplace
hazard analysis, if applicable independent of the CE mark for this process gas
analyser.
Technical developments can give rise to deviations from these operating
instructions. If you require additional information or if particular problems arise that
are not fully addressed in this manual, please contact the following address:

4.1 Accessories
WARNING
Risk of injury/defective!
Use of non-approved accessories can cause defects and be hazardous. This will
render the warranty null and void. The operator is then liable for any damage that
may occur.
Only use original accessories or accessories that have been approved by Union
Instruments GmbH.

5 Transport, setup and acceptance
NOTE
Generally, the process gas analyser is started up by Union Instruments GmbH or
service technicians.
If it is not transported, set up and started up by Union Instruments GmbH (for
example in-house transportation and resale), coordinate the appropriate
procedure with Union Instruments GmbH (

Chapter 12 Service).
5.1 Transport
WARNING
Possible injury from the process gas analyser tipping over or falling from pallets
and load carrying equipment.
•At least two persons are required to unpack and transport the analyser (for
weight see technical data)!
•Check the load bearing capacity and condition of the slinging equipment and
carefully attach it.
•Never stand under suspended loads.
NOTE
In case of damage during transport from improper handling, the carrier should
perform a damage report within seven days (railway, post office, freight
forwarder).

Transport, setup and acceptance

5.2 Ambient conditions
ATTENTION
Ambient conditions during storage and set up.
Observe the stipulated ambient conditions. Contact Union Instruments GmbH if
the process gas analyser has been stored for more than three months or needs to
be operated or stored under ambient conditions other than those specified.
5.2.1 Storage conditions
If condensation water freezes in the process gas analyser, this can cause defects.
Protect the process gas analyser against frost when putting it into storage.
Ambient temperature:
-20 - 60°C
Humidity:
0 - 95% relative humidity
Ambient pressure:
700 - 1400 hPa (0.7 - 1.4 bar)
5.3 Set up and connection
5.4 Setup site
The setup site for the process gas analyser must satisfy the following conditions:
•Clean dry room (with the exception of INCA5000/INCA6000)
•No direct exposure to sun
•Protect from climate influences with a heater or air conditioning if necessary
•Insure a clean, sufficient amount of ambient air for undistorted measurements
•Ensure that the loadbearing capacity of the wall is sufficient
WARNING
Leaking process gas can pose a hazard and needs to be discharged by the
operator into a safe environment.
