• Never lead explosive gases or gas mixtures into the device! • Warranty expires if any element of the device is removed or replaced without the consultation of Messkonzept. • The unit and the cables must be effectively protected against damage and...
Note: Please keep this manual for future use. Messkonzept also offers, upon request, other models of the FTC-series analyzers that can monitor, addition- ally to the aforementioned, flammable or explosive gases. For more information in this regard, do not hesitate...
Cross-sensitivity is the sensitivity of the measurement on other gases than the measured component. The FTC320-OEM contains a TC sensor that analyzes the quantitative composition of gas mixtures. The measurement is based on the heat transfer between a heat source and a heat...

The FTC320-OEM unit must be thermally isolated from the environment! The bottom view of the FTC320-OEM shows four M3 thread holes which can be used for the fixation of the detector (see Figure 2). Use insulating spacers (min. 4mm) and stainless- steel screws in order to minimize heat flow from the 60°C hot detector body.
With proper heated lines and connections, a dew point up to 50°C is permissible. Figure 3: The gas in- and outlet of the FTC320-OEM. Warning! The gas led into the device cannot contain any dust, condensate and potentially condensing matter unless the FTC unit equipped with a filter membrane protecting...
Power supply range: min. 18V – max. 30V, 24V recommended. GND = Ground for negative input from power supply. Maximum DC current consumption = 700mA.
