    Introduction The portable gas conditioning systems PSS-5C, PSS-5/2C and PSS-5/3C are designed especially for applications where accurate gas analysis at constantly changing locations is required. The entire gas conditioning system is housed in a compact and impact-resistant plastic case equipped with an integrated trolley with extendable handle.
  • Page 11: Application

    Application The PSS-5C gas conditioning system is suitable for variable discontinuous use as well as for continuous operation. The upright, closed PSS-5C case with screwed in connectors complies with protection class IP42 as required by the EN15267-4:2017 standard. It contains a standard gas temperature monitoring as well as a temperature display visible from the outside.

  • Page 18: Dimensions

    Dimensions Figure 7 Dimensions Description The PSS-5C gas conditioning system is equipped with the powerful Peltier gas cooler of the new series as standard. The cooler is equipped with a jet-stream heat exchanger, which cools the sample gas constantly to +5 °C [41 °F], independent of the ambient temperature.

  • Page 21: Operating Instructions

    Operating instructions The display and control panel of the ECPX000C are clearly visible on the front panel of the device. The functions described here are excerpts from the operating instructions of the ECPX000C series. For the complete documentation, read the ECPX000C instruction manual. It can be downloaded free of charge from the M&C homepage.
  • Page 22: Pin Entry

    Tap on the -key, to go back to the cooling temperature. N O T E The cooling temperature is shown in the display as follows: The cooler temperature is shown on the display. The ambient temperature is indicated by a "°" sign on the left side of the displayed temperature.
  • Page 23: Set Point Entry

    After confirmation, immediately the display for the set point entry is shown. Press and hold the -key longer to access the parameter setting area. The PIN is valid for 15 minutes. If you exceed this time, the display field reappears with "0000" when you press and hold the -key.
  • Page 24: Parameter Setting

    Parameter Setting If you tap the -key after entering the PIN (see chapter “12.2 PIN Entry”), the set point for the cooler temperature appears first. If the -key is pressed and held for a short moment, the display changes to code entry. Here you can enter the codes that belong to the respective parameter settings. You can also access the parameter setting from the main menu.
  • Page 25: Setting Temperature Alarm Limits

    13.1 Setting Temperature Alarm Limits You use the temperature alarm limits to determine when the alarm is triggered. HIGH dT and LOW dT are independently adjustable from dT = 2 to 8 °C [dT = 3.6 to 14.4 °F]. In the following figure, the upper temperature alarm limit is set at 8 °C [46.4 °F] and the lower one at 3 °C [37.4 °F].
  • Page 26: Fan Speed Setting

    13.2 Fan Speed Setting The ECPX000C is equipped with a large cooling fin block which is forced-ventilated by a fan. The minimum speed of the fan can be changed without affecting the final performance of the cooler. To change the fan speed setting: 1.
  • Page 27: Ma Output For The Temperature Measurement Inside The Cooling Block

    mA Output for the Temperature Measurement inside the Cooling Block The mA outputs built-in by M&C are factory calibrated and set to the range "4-20 mA". Later purchased mA outputs must be calibrated. 14.1 mA Output Range Selection The optional mA output can be changed from 4-20 mA to 0-20 mA. To select the mA range, proceed as follows: 1.
  • Page 28 If a calibration error occurs and the mA output has been calibrated, the limiting values also change! N O T E To calibrate an mA output, proceed as follows: 1. Enter the PIN (see chapter “12.2 PIN Entry”). 2. Tap and hold the -key for a short moment.
  • Page 29: Liquid Alarm Sensor (La) Type La1S

    Liquid Alarm Sensor (LA) type LA1S The liquid alarm sensors LA1S installed by M&C are factory calibrated to tap water and activated. Later purchased liquid alarm sensors must be activated and calibrated. 15.1 Activating the LA A retrofit liquid alarm sensor must be activated. To activate a liquid alarm sensor: 1.
  • Page 30: La Sensitivity Adjustment

    15.2 LA Sensitivity adjustment The sensitivity can be changed by following these steps: 1. Enter the PIN (see chapter “12.2 PIN Entry”). 2. Tap and hold the -key for a short moment. 3. The display shows the code entry. Enter the code "011" to change the sensitivity of the liquid sensor. The default value is 2 and can be changed from 1 to 7.
  • Page 31: La Calibration

    15.3 LA Calibration The liquid alarm sensors LA1S installed by M&C are factory activated and calibrated. If required, the basic accuracy of the liquid alarm sensors can be optimized by recalibration. Later-installed liquid sensors must be activated and calibrated. Make sure that the LA is activated. If a retrofitted LA is not activated, the calibration has no effect and will be discarded.
  • Page 32: Receipt Of Goods And Storage

    Receipt of goods and storage The gas conditioning and sampling systems PSS-5C, PSS5/2C and PSS5/3C are completely pre- installed units. The sample tube, gas sample hose, connecting cable and instruction manual are located inside the case door. • Immediately after arrival take the gas conditioning system and possible special accessories carefully out of the packaging material.
  • Page 33: Installation Instructions

    Installation instructions The case should be placed on a level, horizontal surface so that it is secure and stable. N O T E The operating position is exclusively upright. This is the only way to ensure proper separation and removal of the condensate in the cooler's heat exchanger.
  • Page 34: Supply Connections

    Supply connections 18.1 Tube connections Do not switch tube connections; connections are marked accordingly. After all lines have been connected, the tightness must be N O T E checked. Figure 13 shows the possible medium connections. These are located in the right-hand side of the gas conditioning case at the rear in a specially immersed assembly frame.
  • Page 35 Install the sample gas tubes and the condensate tube as follows: • Remove the union nut from the clamping ring tube fittings by turning it anti-clockwise. The nut should be removed from the thread with great care so as to ensure that the loose sealing ring in the nut is not lost.

  • Page 37: Figure 15 Electrical Connection

    The PSS-5... gas conditioning system is available with either 230 V/50 Hz or with 115 V/60 Hz (for circuit diagram see Appendix). The device is protected by a 4 A fuse as standard. The fuse is located on the terminal mounting rail (see Figure 8). In the event that a temperature controller is used in conjunction with heated sample lines, the overload protection level is increased to 10 A.
  • Page 38 Option "mA output; cooling block temperature Part No 01G9010": The connection of the mA signal output is a 4-pole circular connector (female) 1. The mA output signal is available at pin 1 + and 3 -. Measuring range: -10 to 50 °C [14 to 122 °F], mA output 4 to 20 mA or 0 to 20 mA, factory setting 4- 20 mA.
  • Page 39: Commissioning

    Commissioning Observe the facility and process-specific safety measures before commissioning. Carry out the following steps before initial commissioning: • Connect the round 4 pole connector (male) on the device with the supplied mains connection cable; • Connect the heated sample line (option); Check the temperature at the temperature controller when operating the sample gas conditioning unit with a heated sample gas line.
  • Page 40: Closing Down

    Closing down The area where the gas conditioning unit is placed must remain frost-free even when the unit is switched off. N O T E No special measures are to be taken in the event of short-term shutdowns of the gas conditioning system.
  • Page 41: Maintenance

    Maintenance Observe the facility- and process-specific safety measures before carrying out maintenance work! Dangerous voltage! W A R N I N G It is necessary to take the equipment off the mains before any assembly, maintenance or repair work is carried out. The frequency of the maintenance work depends on the operational process and can therefore only be determined in each individual case.
