INTRODUCTION The gas conditioning CSS-VC unit, either for 19"- or wall mounting or as a portable unit in carrying case, is a fully pre-assembled compact continuously operating gas purification system, which, depending on the design, can supply a sample gas volume of max. 1 x 250 Nl/h (CSS VC1) or 2 x 150 Nl/h (CSS-VC2). Sample gas conditioning units are suitable due to their equipment and additional options for the wide-ranging requirements of continuous gas analysis.
A portable version is also available in a carrying case.

The current cooler temperature is displayed on the multi-functional control unit TCU mounted on the front panel. The setpoint temperature of the cooler can be set by pressing keys. In the event of warnings or faults, plain text information appears on the display and is also indicated by LEDs (e.g. cooler within the setpoint range and no other alarms - green LED, flow alarm (option) - yellow LED, temperature ±3°...
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS So that the unit is safe and operates reliably, it should be mounted horizontally and without vibration. Only then is proper separation and drainage of the condensate in the heat exchanger of the cooler ensured. Note The mounting of the gas conditioning unit should take place away from heat sources and be freely ventilated so that there can be no disruptive accumulation of heat.
SUPPLY CONNECTIONS Figure 3 Connections in the connection panel of the CSS-VC.. Depending on the version of the CSS-VC, instead of the 11 and 12-pin connector for single alarms, mA output cooler temperature and external sample gas pump control, a 6-pin connector may also be present for group alarm (see Figure 4 ).
12.1 HOSE CONNECTIONS The connection of the sample gas input, depending on the connection type, is directly on the heat exchanger or on the clamping plate. Do not confuse the hose connections. They are marked appropriately. After connecting all the lines, they should be checked to ensure there are no leaks. Note The condensate connections are made directly to the hose pump.
12.2 RELOCATE THE CONNECTIONS TO THE BACK OF THE HOUSING If, for example with the 19" mounting, mounting conditions require the connections to be moved up in the connection panel onto the back of the device, this is quite possible: 1.
Note The CSS-VC1 or CSS-VC2 is to be supplied in voltages 230 V/50 Hz or 115 V/50-60 Hz (for the circuit diagram see appendix). Protection is provided as standard with two 6.3 A fuses. These fuses are located in the cold-device socket.
Figure 7 Upper and lower channel of CSS-VC2 12.4.2 CONNECTION OF INDIVIDUAL ALARMS, EXTERNAL PUMP CONTROL AND EXTERNAL COOLER TEMPERATURE DISPLAY (PART NO. 01G6175) The electrical connection of the individual alarms is via two connectors, depending on the mounting of the connection plate, either on the back or in the lid of the housing.
With the alarm relays, "safety first" applies, i.e. the contacts are de-energized and open in the event of an alarm. For external pump control potential free contacts have to be used! Note Switch open => pump off Switch closed => pump on On X2 connector pin 10-12, external switches can be connected for controlling the sample gas pumps (internal or external).
12.4.3 CONNECTION OF HEATED LINE FOR PORTABLE VERSION (PART NO. 01G6190) If, for the portable version in a carrying case, the option temperature controller for heated line (Part No. 01G6190) is selected, on the rear of the housing of the CSS-VC.. there is a 7-pin connector for connection of heated lines type PSP and PSP 4M and PSP 4M-W.
The following steps are to be carried out before initial commissioning: 1. Plug the cold-device connector of the supplied mains connection cable into the cold-device socket for gas conditioning; 2. Connect power cord to the network; 3. Switch on power supply. After the end of the lead time, the gas conditioning unit is ready for operation (green LED on the controller lights up).
DECOMMISSIONING The location of the compact conditioning unit must remain frost-free, even during periods when the unit is switched off. Note On short-term decommissioning of the gas conditioning unit CSS-VC.. no special measures need to be taken. For long-term decommissioning, it is recommended to flush the gas conditioning unit with ambient air or inert gas. A flushing time of 3 to 5 minutes is sufficient under normal conditions.
16.2 PROPERTIES OF THE TCU • Menu navigation with 3 language selections (German, English, French) • Error history (32 messages) • Detailed status indicators: Group alarm or individual alarm (cooler temperature, liquid flow), warnings, OK condition, control temperature, temperature gradient, total running time after service, error-free time •...
17.1 DISPLAY OF CONTROL TEMPERATURES OR COOLING TEMPERATURE CURVE the following screen will appear on the CSS-VC..: By 1 x pressing of the arrow button, 17.2 CONFIGURE THE SWITCHING ON AND OFF OF THE SAMPLE PUMPS By 2 x pressing of the arrow key and then 1 x pressing of the PRG key, the following view appears: Here it is visible whether the pump is working or not.
Page 28
Using the arrow keys, the parameters to be changed can be selected. By pressing the PRG key, the parameter can now be changed with the arrow keys and then confirmed with the PRG key or discarded with the ESC key Here you select the parameter to be taken into consideration for switching off the pump.
17.3 DISPLAY OF EVENTS By 3 x pressing the arrow key and then 1 x pressing of the PRG key, the event list appears in which the last 32 error messages and warnings are listed on 8 pages. The individual pages can be seen by using the arrow keys At the bottom of the list of events, furthermore, the error-free time and the total run time (operating time counter) are displayed.
17.4 OPERATING DATA By 4 x pressing the arrow key (or 1 x pressing the arrow key in the other direction ) the following view appears: Here the actual device temperature, the period until the next service warning, the service interval, the software version and serial number are displayed.
17.6 SETTING SERVICE INTERVAL, LANGUAGE, CONTROL TEMPERATURES, TEMPERATURE SENSOR TYPES AND LIQUID ALARM RESET To change service interval, language, control temperatures, temperature sensor types and to reset the liquid alarm: 1. Disconnect the device from the mains. 2. Hold the PRG key down and switch the device back on until the message to release the key is displayed.
Page 32
To discard the changed settings, keep the ESC key pressed for 5 seconds. After saving or discarding the settings, you will automatically return to the start screen. If the unit is disconnected from the mains voltage while it is in user setup, all changes made are also rejected. The following values can be set: Service interval (0 (-----) - 365 days/default setting 180 days/off).
ALARMS AND FAULTS In the event of warnings, or errors, plain text information appears on the screen and simultaneously via the LEDs on the controller front, as well as alarms via the group alarm connection (Part No. 01G6170) or alarms and warnings via the individual alarm connector (Part No.

19.3 MAINTENANCE OF THE BUILT-IN PERISTALTIC PUMP TYPE SR 25.2 Pump hose, belt, pressure rollers and springs are the only wear parts of the pump. They are easy to change. Figure 14 Components of the peristaltic pump SR25.2 CSS-VC-1.6 | 1.02.01 www.mc-techgroup.com...
19.3.1 MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS FOR PERISTALTIC PUMP Make sure to mount the pump to the front of the cooler with a minimum distance of 3.5 mm [≈ 0.138”] and a maximum distance of 5.5 mm [≈ 0.216”] between the pump motor and the front panel. The minimum distance avoids damage to the pump motor and the maximum distance prevents the motor shaft from getting loose.
