  • Page 12: Gas Path Switch Function

    Initial operation Gas path switch function (testo 300 XL-I only) The gas path switch facilitates the complete separation of the CO/SO cell from the gas path. The CO cell is therefore protected from very high CO concentrations. The remaining flue gas data can still be measured.

  • Page 13: Compact Gas Preparation Unit For So Measurement With Hose (Optional)

    (optional) The compact gas preparation unit and the SO hose ideally complement the testo 300 M-I and testo 300 XL-I flue gas analysers ensuring efficient and correct measurement of the SO level in flue gases. The system consists of an adapted unit with gas hose, compact gas preparation unit and non-heated standard flue gas probe or the high- standard industrial flue gas probe.
