    Never put 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 UV light. • File name: FTC320-OEM Manual 1.09KD221202EMAV03.pdf...
  • Page 5: Safety Instructions

    Condensate and corrosive tolerant variants on request Messkonzept also offers, upon request, other models of the FTC-series analyzers that can monitor, additionally to the aforementioned, flammable or explosive gases. For more information in this regard, do not hesitate to contact us.
  • Page 6: Principle Of Measurement

    The thermal conductivity of gases rises with temperature and the slope of the increase with temperature is different for different gases. Upon request, it can be checked whether the temperature of heat sink and/or source should be changed in order to improve the accuracy or to avoid cross-sensitivity effects. File name: FTC320-OEM Manual 1.09KD221202EMAV03.pdf...
  • Page 7 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 sink.
  • Page 8 The “basic range“ is the largest possible measuring range and is set as standard. Linearization is carried out over the basic range. The smallest measuring ranges at the beginning and end of the basic range are made possible by a separate calibration. File name: FTC320-OEM Manual 1.09KD221202EMAV03.pdf...
  • Page 9: Installation Of The Instrument

    Installation of the Instrument 3.1 Mounting The bottom view of the FTC320-OEM shows four M3 thread holes which can be used for the fixation of the detector (see Figure 3.1). Do not mount directly on surface. Use insulating spacers (min. 4mm thick) and stainless-steel screws, to minimize the heat flow from the 63°C hot detector body.
  • Page 10: Housing And Insulation

    3.2 Housing and insulation Thermal insulation and Electromagnetic protection The installation of the FTC320-OEM in a customer-specific housing is mandatory. It must not be exposed to any air flow, e.g. from fans. The use of additional insulation is optional, but may be necessary for ambient temperatures below 0°C.
