Important Information about the Manual Validity of these Instructions This manual describe the Lambda Transmitter LT3-F with all required components. The infor- mation in this document applies to the software version 1.0.0.0. If you utilise a different ver- sion, this can lead to other effects to your device than those described in this manual.
Important Information about the Manual Information on Using this Operating Manual NOTICE Before starting work, you absolutely must read these instructions! Carefully observe all warning notes! They contain important data and information, the compliance with which will ensure the func- tion of the device and, in turn, reliable measurement results.
General Safety Instructions General Safety Instructions Classification of the Safety Instructions and Warnings The following symbols are used in this document to draw the user's attention to important safe- ty information. They are located at points where the information is required. It is essential that the safety information is observed and followed, and that applies, in particular, to the warnings.
General Safety Instructions Proper Use - Conditions of Use Operation The LT3-F lambda transmitter is an electronic data interpreting device which is used in con- junction with the KS1D combination probe for the continuous measurement of the O concen- tration and the oxidising components (CO/H ) in non-combustible gases in the superstoichiometric area.
User groups For the handling of the lambda transmitter LT3-F, three user groups are required: • Service technicians of LAMTEC or its OEM customers and/or trained customer personnel: Qualified technicians/engineers ...
To avoid damage, always observe the respective security notices. Preventive measures for improving operating safety If the LT3-F is used in conjunction with control and steering technology, the operator must en- sure that any breakdown or failure of the LT3-F device does not cause inadmissible damage or dangerous operating states.

NOTICE Do not switch off the LT3-F Lambda Transmitter as long as the KS1D combination probe is mounted. Not even if the associated plant has been brought to a standstill. Residual gases will cause corrosion and could damage the probe.
Product Description Product Description Applications The LT3-F lambda transmitter has been developed to use in conjunction with the KS1D com- bination probe for the simultaneous measurement of the O concentration and oxidising com- ponents (CO/H ), displayed as CO equivalents (CO ), usually in the flue gases from combustion systems in the superstoichiometric area (>1).

Mounting and Functions Mounting and Functions Designs and Accessories of the KS1D Combination Probe The KS1D combination probe permits a simultaneous measurement of the O concentration and combustible, oxidising gas components (CO/H ) displayed as ), in the flue gases from combustion systems in the superstoichiometric area CO equivalent (CO (>1) in situ (directly in the flue gas).
For distances > 2 m, extension cables in lengths of 2 m and 5 m are available. NOTICE The maximum distance between LT3-F and combination probe KS1D may not exceed 10 m. With longer distances the approval of the system for continuous operation expires.

Maintenance Maintenance As a result of extensive self-diagnosis, the measuring system is essentially maintenance-free. Maintenance is restricted to the calibration and the cleaning of dust or other deposits; as well as the cyclic replacement of the ZrO measuring element. Checking/Calibrating the KS1D Combination Probe The checking / calibration should (advantageously installed) be built in at normal operating temperature and carried out under operating conditions.
Maintenance 7.1.4 Checking/Calibrating with Test Gas WARNING! Danger of burns! Probe becomes hot during operation. If the probe is operated when removed, there is a danger of burns on the probe housing. Never lay the probe on flammable material and heat it up. ...

Maintenance Test probe 1. Install probe: Push probe into the testing device until stop. 2. Heat up probe: A cold probe should be heated up for at least 45 minutes in the installed condition. Should an already heated up probe be installed in the testing device, then wait for 15 minutes. CAUTION! The testing device with plugged in heated probe would get hot.

Wet/Dry Measurement Deviations, Conversion Table NOTICE The LT3-F carries out measurements directly in the humid flue gases (wet measurement). When extractive devices are used, flue gases are removed and prepared. "Dry measure- ments" are normally used here, since the humidity has been extracted from the flue gas. As a result, O measurement values vary (see diagrams below).
