Sampling System User’s Manual INTRODUCTION The Condumax II Transportable Hydrocarbon Dew-Point Analyzer Sampling System should be used in conjunction with the Condumax II Hydrocarbon Dew-Point Analyzer User’s Manual. The sampling system is in a custom designed, heavy duty, 316 stainless steel carry case.
The water dew point is measured at full pipeline pressure, to determine the highest water dew point for the gas sample being analyzed. The complete Condumax II Hydrocarbon Dew-Point Analyzer Sampling System can be located close to the gas sample take-off point in a potentially explosive environment - suitable for IEC Zone 1 or 2 hazardous area, NEC Class 1, Division 1, Groups B, C, D.
Condumax II Transportable INTRODUCTION Sampling System User’s Manual The gas handling components are as follows: Coalescing Filter (F1) Provides protection of the moisture sensor within the Condumax II instrument. Pressure Gauge (PG1) Provides indication of sample gas inlet pressure. Pressure Regulator (PR1) Allows the user to manually set the sample gas analysis pressure for hydrocarbon dew-point measurement.
Condumax II Transportable INSTALLATION Sampling System User’s Manual INSTALLATION The Sampling System should be transported in the horizontal position. Before operation follow the procedure below: Remove the lid of the case by undoing the 4 latch clips. Bring the sampling system into the vertical position, as indicated on the label on the side of the case.
Condumax II Transportable INSTALLATION Sampling System User’s Manual Orientation for Transportation/Storage and Operation The Condumax II Transportable must NOT be transported in the upright/vertical orientation as the shock absorbent design is only effective in the horizontal position. Horizontal Orientation for Transportation/Storage...
(electrical) connections only have been disconnected. Before commencement of the start-up procedure ensure that the power connections to the Condumax II are fully isolated and, if necessary, observe the stipulated de-energization period of 45 minutes.
OPERATION Sampling System User’s Manual Sample Flow Start Up Procedure Unscrew and remove the Condumax II fl ameproof enclosure cover after fi rst loosening the hex grub screw. The user interface/display assembly uses two ¼-turn bayonet style fasteners, (fi nger operated), to secure it - turn clockwise to lock, counter- clockwise to release.

NOTE: Make sure the hex grub screw is tightened to prevent inadvertent removal. After the fl ameproof enclosure cover has been refi tted, the Condumax II is ready for power up. Apply the power supply to the system.
Isolate the Sampling System from the power supply. If moving, transporting or storing the Condumax II, remove the sample hoses and refi t the caps to the quick connect couplings. Note the orientation requirements in Section 2.1.
Condumax II Transportable OPERATION Sampling System User’s Manual Pressure Regulator Temperature Control This operation will expose electrical parts operating at high voltage. Therefore, power must be isolated from the supply for the Sampling System before making adjustments. DANGER Electric Shock Risk The heated pressure regulator contains an adjustment for the temperature control set-point (factory-set to approximately +24ºC (+75°F)).
Maintenance of the Condumax II Transportable Hydrocarbon Dew-Point Analyzer Sampling System should be carried out with reference to the Condumax II Hydrocarbon Dew-point Analyzer User’s Manual. Routine maintenance of the system is confi ned to fi lter element replacements.

The directives’ aim is to reduce the impact that electronic devices have on the environment. Michell Instruments is in full compliance with the WEEE Directive and is registered with an approved recycler (Registration No. WEE/JB0235YW) and treats the requirement of the directive and the protection of the environment with the utmost importance.
Equipment product sold into the EU market place as 22nd July 2017. However, the careful design policy of all Michell Instruments’ products continues to attain compliance in the shortest practical timescales and strives to ensure that less than 0.1% of total mass per product, of all non-compliant materials, appear within them.
Our continued review of the SVHC Candidate List and latest additions is to ensure we remain compliant. Michell Instruments maintains a hazardous material register in which MSDS data sheets are collated, and we will check that our suppliers will comply to REACH requirements for all materials and substances we use in the processes of our manufacturing.
APPENDIX E Sampling System User’s Manual Return Policy If a Michell Instruments’ product malfunctions within the warranty period, the following procedure must be completed: Notify a Michell Instruments’ distributor, giving full details of the problem, the model variant and the serial number of the product.
