  • Page 33: Installation Requirements For The Fidamat 6-G

    The FIDAMAT 6 has two internal pressure sensors for measuring the sample gas pressure (= combustion air pressure) and the combustion gas pressure. See also Gas flow of the FIDAMAT 6-G (Page 2-8) Gas and electric connections (Page 3-6) Checking for leaks (Page 4-3)

  • Page 34: Gas And Electric Connections

    Gas preparation Requirements to purity of operating and test gases The Fidamat 6-G is often used to measure hydrocarbons with a concentration of less than 1 ppm. For such measurements, it is important that the operating gases used (hydrogen, combustion air and zero gas) are very pure. The higher the purity of the operating gases, the lower the zero current and thus the noise that determines the lower detection limit.

    Installation and connection 3.4 Electrical connection Sample gas The sample gas is fed to the FIDAMAT 6-G unheated through a solenoid valve. Note The sample gases must be fed to the device dust-free. To avoid condensation, in most applications a gas preparation adapted to the measuring task is necessary.
