1. 3 Designated users The MCS100FT may be operated by competent persons only who, based on their device- specific training and knowledge of the device as well as knowledge of the relevant regula- tions, can assess the tasks given and recognize the dangers involved.
The MCS100FT is a multicomponent analysis system for continuous flue gas monitoring of industrial combustion plants (emission measuring system). The MCS100FT operates in extractive mode, i.e. the gas is withdrawn from the gas duct using a gas sampling probe and fed to the analysis system via a (heated) sample gas line.
Should a malfunction occur, the MCS100FT switches automatically to “Stand-by” mode ● ( p. 95, §8.3.1). The sample gas line and the sample gas path in the MCS100FT are automatically purged with instrument air in this mode. The analog outputs remain at the last valid measured value.
Product Description TOC with FID-100FT (option) 2.5.5 As an option, the MCS100FT can be fitted with a FID (Flame Ionization Detector) to mea- sure the organically bound total carbon (TOC). The FID is located in the cell enclosure. The signals of the FID-100FTs are integrated in MCS100FT signal processing.
● Set up the MCS100FT in a low-vibration environment whenever possible. ● Set up the MCS100FT as close as possible to the sampling point. ● Short sample gas lines result in short lag times. Maximum length of sample gas line: 35 m.
The measured values could possibly be incorrect if the gas path is leaky. ● The gas lines to the MCS100FT may only be laid by skilled persons who, based on their training and knowledge as well as knowledge of the relevant regulations, can assess the tasks given and recognize the dangers involved.

3. 5 WARNING: Health risk by voltage The preparation of the MCS100FT may only be performed by skilled electri- cians who, based on their technical training and knowledge as well as knowledge of the relevant regulations, can assess the tasks given and rec- ognize the hazards involved.
– IP addresses and the addresses of the SCU and MCS100FT subnet masks: See SOPAS ET ( p. 14, §2.4.1). To change addresses: (Note: The unit (MCS100FT, FID-100FT or SCU) and the PC to be connected must be in the same network segment) a) Start SOPAS ET.
Persons authorized to carry out the start-up 4. 1 The MCS100FT may only be put into operation by skilled persons who, based on their device-specific training and knowledge of the device as well as knowl- edge of the relevant regulations, can assess the tasks given and recognize the dangers involved.

Operation Operator panel 5. 1 The MCS100FT is operated via a touchscreen where you can perform inputs by touching the monitor. Operation via SOPAS ET (option) Operator menus and Measuring screens are also available on an exter- nal PC via Ethernet for user comfort (with the engineering tool SOPAS ET ...
The SCU has 2 status lines: First status line: SCU status line (higher level control unit). ● Second status line: Status line of the analyzer currently selected (MCS100FT or FID- ● 100FT) The status lines have status fields (depending on parameter settings) to display the respec- tive device status.

Shutting down 6. 2 Switch the MCS100FT off ( p. 84, §6.1). The shutdown of the MCS100FT may be performed by trained personnel only. ● Moisture in the interferometer causes damage. Check the drying agent cartridge monthly even after shutting down ( p. 90, §7.2.3).
Interferometer/ Cooling unit Cabinet light cabinet fan (option) It is possible that the fuses of your MCS100FT have a different assignment. Refer to the delivered System Documentation for fuse assignment. Faults on the monitor 8. 2 Error Possible cause Remarks Monitor is blank.
( p. 62, §5.7.8.2). Correct the malfunction or have it corrected by trained personnel. If it was possible to correct the malfunction without switching the MCS100FT off (e.g. clearing a jam when the “sample gas flow” malfunction occurred), the MCS100FT auto- matically switches back to Measuring mode.
● If not: Is the fuse in the MCS100FT switched on? ( p. 94, §8.1) Is the mains switch on the bottom of the interferometer switched on? Check firm seating of the power plug on the bottom of the interferometer.
