Corrosive! These substances destroy living tissue and equipment upon contact. Do not breathe vapors; avoid contact with skin and eyes. Wear protective gloves! Working with chemicals, sharp objects or extremely high temperatures requires wearing protective gloves. Wear safety glasses! Protect your eyes while working with chemicals or sharp objects. Wear safety glasses to avoid getting something in your eyes.
APPLICATION The probes of type SP3110.. and SP3110V.. are used for continuous gas sampling in dust-laden processes or processes with high temperatures (according to Table 5, chapter 13) or high gas moisture. The modular construction of the probes and the variety of possible options guarantee optimum adaptation of the probes to complex process and environmental conditions.

The maximum surface temperature of the gas sample probe depends on the process media temperature and the used options (blow back unit RS, ball valve drive MS1 and probe heating HEX4 or HEX1). The permissible process media temperatures are not allowed to exceed 185°C [365 °F] at options 2-way-ball- valve VA and 3/2-way-ball-valve 3VA.
For the use of sample tubes in connection with the probe SP3110(V), please look into the following table. Sample Part Max. Material Length Length Connec Tube Connec- “L1” “L tube temp. tion ø tion max” Type °C Tube/ thread OD/ID ø...
OPTIONS The following options 10.1 to 10.9 are available for use in potentially explosive atmospheres. Please seeTable 4 for the markings for the respective zones.

General safety instructions for back-purging and feeding of calibration gas A back-purging gas suitable for the sampling point must be selected for back- purging. The back-purging pressure must always be higher than the process pressure. This minimum pressure must be monitored with a press switch at the inlet side of the accumulator or the check valve.
For processes with overpressure, this kind of feeding the test gas is not recommended. In this case, you should use an integrated ball valve in the inlet of the probe as stop valve. In principle, you need only a small quantity of test gas for probes with an integrated ball valve, because the probe is separated from the process when the ball valve is activated so that there is no danger of a mixture with the process gas.
For the test gas feeding, the ball valve must be turned to the right side as far as it will go. For the measuring operation, return the ball valve into the neutral position. Ball valve position Measuring Ball valve position Blow back Ball valve position Test gas...
10.7 BALL VALVE DRIVE MS1 The following drives are available: Pneumatic drive with spring return type MS/ NC or NO Hereby 2 operating conditions can be realised: a. Using a shut off ball valve VA the conditions: "Open=measuring" and "shut". b.

11.1 MAXIMUM SURFACE TEMPERATURE OF THE GAS SAMPLE PROBE The maximum surface temperature of the gas sample probe depends on the process media temperature and the used options (blow back unit RS, ball valve drive MS1 and probe heating HEX4 or HEX1). The permissible process media temperatures are not allowed to exceed 185 °C [365 °F] at options 2-way-ball- valve VA and 3/2-way-ball-valve 3VA.
PREPARATIONS FOR INSTALLATION • First make sure that conditions at the intended place of use correspond to the data on the rating plate. • The temperature of the process must be taken into account when selecting the sampling point. • Heating of the probe or preliminary filter above the temperature limit given in table 5 must be prevented.
The prevailing operating parameters must be checked against the following table prior to installation: Operating parameters for combustible gas (SP3110(V)) Gas composition Corrosive Toxic Explosive Zone classification process side Zone classification environment Ignition temperature °C Corresponds gas/vapours (> max. temperature class surface temperature from table 4) Explosion group...
The following procedure is recommended: • Remove the probe cover after opening the two toggle-type fasteners. Schematic drawing of the filter housing cover Figure 4 Turn handle A about one full turn anticlockwise so that the cover is lifted. • Place handle C in position E.
The following figures illustrate the steps described above. Removal of the filter housing cover Figure 5 • Check that the filter element is screwed on firmly. • Insert the filter holder part again. The filter holder part is closed in reverse order. •...
14.1 CONNECTION OF THE SAMPLE LINE • A ¼” NPT female thread is provided on the probe side for connection of the sample line. Suitable connecting unions for explosion-protected lines in the sizes Ø 6 mm (standard), 8 mm or 10 mm can be screwed into this thread using PTFE sealing tape.

When using the option back-purging unit /RS the corresponding line must be connected to the accumulator. A back-purging gas suitable for the sampling point must be selected for back-purging. The back-purging pressure must always be higher than the process pressure. This minimum pressure must be monitored at the inlet side of the accumulator with a pressure monitoring switch.
For option 3VA connect the suitable tube (blow back or test gas) at the probe. A back-purging gas suitable for the sampling point must be selected for back- purging. At sampling points with inerting, back-purging must be performed with corresponding inert gas. It must be ensured that the inert gas does not introduce oxygen or combustible gases into the system.
A fuse suitable for the rated current of the solenoid valve (max. 3xIB per DIN 41571 or IEC 127) or protective motor switch with short-circuit and thermal rapid release (set on the rated current) must be installed in front of the solenoid valve as short circuit protection.
MAINTENANCE When working during operation: High surface temperatures! Touching the surfaces can result in burns. Wear protective gloves. Aggressive condensate possible! Wear safety goggles and suitable protective clothing. The requirements of VDE 0100 and its associated standards and regulations must be observed when erecting and servicing high-voltage power installations Warning with rated voltages of up to 1000 V! Work on the gas sample probe must only be carried out when the environment...
17.1 REPLACEMENT OF THE FILTER ELEMENT Maintenance of the probe is mainly limited to replacement of the filter elements and inspection of the seals and gaskets. For this: For probes with graphite sealing the lid sealing has to be changed whenever the probe is opened.
17.6 CLEANING OF THE PROBE The gas sample probe must be inspected at suitable intervals in time. Dust layers of more than 5 mm must be removed immediately. The dust deposits under the cover must also be removed. To prevent static charging, the probe should always be cleaned with a moist cloth.
