Instruction Manual ExTox IMC-8/-4 Foreword We thank you very much for your confidence in our products and us, the ExTox Gasmess-Sys- teme GmbH. The Integral Measuring Concepts of the IMC Series as well as all other ExTox-Products and ser- vices stand for our high quality targets. Our business is the health protection of mankind, pro- tection of the environment and installations.
Instruction Manual ExTox IMC-8/-4 Content Introduction Features of the Integral Measuring Concepts (IMC) Indications and Facilities Configuration Description Type IMC 5.1.1 Functions 5.1.2 Parameter Settings ...
Instead of that sampling from process gas and external measurement are necessary. With the Integral Measuring Concepts of the Series IMC ExTox offers efficient solutions even for these measuring tasks. This Series combines all necessary components from sampling of meas- ured gas, preparation, sensor techniques and evaluation in one compact wall mounting housing.

The flame arrestor is connected pre- vious to the measured gas inlet. When returning the measured gas into the process (Hint: Not recommended by ExTox) another flame arrestor at the measured gas outlet is necessary. (Compact-) Measured gas cooler incl. Automatic Removal of Condensate: ...
Instruction Manual ExTox IMC-8/-4 against strong influences from the environment, e. g. driving rain or direct solar radiation, shall be provided always. ProfiBus-, ProfiNet-, ModBus- and Ethernet-Connection: Measured values and messages can be transfered to a superior PLT-System via Interface.
Instruction Manual ExTox IMC-8/-4 Description The following indications are valid for the standard types mentioned in Clause 1.For special types, generally with Article Number 7xxxxx, further amendments can be necessary. Please take ac- count of the hints in your customer specific documentation.

Under-scale leads to system fault Unterer Grenzwert für die Durchflussüberwachung in l/h.
Instruction Manual ExTox IMC-8/-4 Type Biogas 5.2.1 Functions ▪ Course of Biogas-Measurement During operation mode "BIO" discontinuous measurement takes place. All channels for biogas measurement are selected in the menu Channel Configuration by setting the mode TIMER. Three phases are run through cyclically: 1.

Instruction Manual ExTox IMC-8/-4 The following relays cannot be configured freely. IMC-8D (IMC-4D) Application Relays Control of magnetic valves for switching between measuring points: K1,K2,K3,K4,K9,K11 Relay 1 closed: Magnetic valve for measuring point 1 activated (K1,K2,K3,K4) Relay 2 closed: Magnetic valve for measuring point 2 activated...
Instruction Manual ExTox IMC-8/-4 Type KAT 5.3.1 Functions Type KAT completes Type Biogas by the possibility to monitor with activated carbon filter (AKF). This type is always coupled with switching between measuring points (see 5.2.5). The measuring points can be configured that way that the gas composition is determined alternately before and after the AKF.
Instruction Manual ExTox IMC-8/-4 5.3.2 Calibration and Adjustment Calibration shows the following specific features: In case there is no -Transmitter for meas- urement after AKF configured calibration is done as usual. Configuration of a -Transmitter with low measuring range is recognized by the software and calibration menu is automatically...
Instruction Manual ExTox IMC-8/-4 Type M 5.4.1 Description In Type M all transmitters are combined in one exchangeable TransmitterModule. This module can in case of maintenance easily be taken out of the IMC and replaced by a new pre-adjusted module. All functions correspond to the IMC-Types BIOGAS and KAT.
Furthermore the following remarks are valid for the additional functions and options. Remark: Please note that some options or their combination is not available for all IMC-Types. ExTox is at your disposal for planning your IMC-System. Furthermore customer specific designed IMC-Types can dispose of deviating functions, which are described separately in the corresponding documentation of your device.
IIB3, such as for example methane. Please ask ExTox who assists you anytime for special gas mixtures. As an option we could offer a flame arrestor for ignition protection IIC, such as for mixtures with significant contents of hydrogen.
In general we do not recommend an installation outside, as in principle measuring accuracy and lifetime are influenced in a negative way. In case it is however necessary, please contact ExTox to design a suitable type. For this the following measures are necessary: control unit to be in- stalled inside, enclosure heating and rain protection cover for housing fans.
At the measuring point the difference in pressure in comparison to the environment may not exceed 100 hPa. We recommend contacting ExTox in case the pressure differences are higher or the measured gas shall be returned to the process.
Instruction Manual ExTox IMC-8/-4 Maintenance of Gas Detection Systems Maintenance is described in the Instruction Manual of the Control Units of the Series ET-8D and ET-4D2. Additionally the gas flow and the therein additional devices have to be checked for correct func- tion.
