Purpose of the Instruction Manual This Instruction Manual provides the user with helpful information about the entire life cycle of the VisGuard 2 Extractive and its peripheral devices. Before commissioning the instrument, you should be completely familiar with the Instruction Manual.
The most recent version of this document can be downloaded at www.photometer.com (first time registration required). It can also be ordered from a SIGRIST representative in your country ( Instruction Manual “Customer service information”). Proper use The sampling system is designed for measuring gaseous media in non-explosive atmospheres of up to 40 °C together with the VisGuard 2 Extractive.
The components have not been installed or operated in accordance with the Instruction Manual. The components have been operated with accessories which SIGRIST -PHOTOMETER AG has not expressly recommended. Improper changes have been performed to the components.

General safety points Instruction Manual VisGuard 2 Extractive Residual risk According to the risk assessment of the applied safety directive DIN EN 61010-1, there remains the risk of the displayed measuring values being incorrect. This risk can be reduced with the following measures: ...
General safety points Preventing undesirable online access attempts SIGRIST instruments are equipped with an integrated web user interface and Modbus TCP interface, thus offering state -of-the-art administration and control possibilities. However, if these are connected directly to the Internet, then any In- ternet user can in principle access your instrument and change the configuration.
Design and function Instruction Manual VisGuard 2 Extractive Design and function Design of the sampling system The sampling system can be divided up into the following areas: Sample taking ensures that a re- presentative sample of the medium to be measured is taken at the cor- rect point.
Instruction Manual VisGuard 2 E xtractive Design and function Functional description of the most important elements 4.2.1 Valve unit for multiple sampling Figure 2: Principle of continuous sample taking Measurement of sample “P1” Measurement of sample “P2” Continuous sample transport is the most reliable concept for multiple sampling. Here, the samples from all measuring points are continuously suctioned in by a valve unit with two or more channels.
Design and function Instruction Manual VisGuard 2 Extractive 4.2.2 Sample divider for single sampling The sample divider is used on sampling systems with long lines (> 30 meters). It is shown in detail in drawing KTNPI2-MB. The principle of the sample divider is based on the main f low being suctioned in by a suction fan.
Instruction Manual VisGuard 2 E xtractive Design and function 4.2.4 Suction fan The vacuum required for sample taking is generated by a suction fan. A suction fan with higher or lower suction power is used depending on the sampling system. A filter can be optionally installed upstream of the suction fan as shown in drawing KZTN3- MB.
5.2.2 Dimensioning of the lines The dimensioning of the sample lines is made at the factory of SIGRIST -PHOTOMETER AG. The dimensioning is based on the construction plans, which have to be provided to us in the tendering phase.
Instruction Manual VisGuard 2 E xtractive Mounting 5.2.3 Selecting and laying the lines Deposits in supply lines over longer distances. Depending on the line material, deposits can build up in the supply lines over longer di s- tances. Only use lines with smooth inner surfaces for sample transport. CAUTION! Coarse inner surfaces cause major friction losses and provide ideal conditions for partic- les to accumulate in the line.
Mounting Instruction Manual VisGuard 2 Extractive 5.3.3 Back pressure nozzle KZTN6 and pressure monitor KZTN7 Please observe the following points when using the back pressure nozzle KZTN6 and pre s- sure monitor KZTN7: In order to prevent water from accumulating in the junction hoses, the pressure monitor must be installed higher than the back pressure nozzle.
Instruction Manual VisGuard 2 E xtractive Mounting 5.3.3.2 Setting the pressure monitor KZTN7 The setting screw, which is accessible from the outside and mounted centrally, can be used for setting the switching point on the pressure monitor. Turning the screw clockwise i n- creases the sensitivity of the switching point (switches at a lower flow velocity).
