General Safety Instructions General Safety Instructions For Your Safety 2.1.1 Explanation of the Symbols in the Safety Notes The following symbols are used in this document to draw the user's attention to important safe- ty information. They are located at points where the information is required. It is essential that the safety information is observed and followed, and that applies particularly to the warnings.
General Safety Instructions 2.1.2 Proper Use - Conditions of Use Application The LT1 Lambda Transmitter is an O measuring instrument for the continuous measurement of O concentration in non-combustible gases in the super-stoichiometric domain, in conjunc- tion with the LS1 Lambda Probe.
User groups It is assumed that the Lambda Transmitter LT1 is handled by two groups of users: Service technicians from LAMTEC or their OEM customers, or qualified customer person- nel: qualified technicians/engineers with very good knowledge of the system.
To avoid damage, always observe the respective security notices. Preventive measures for improving operating safety If the LT1 is used in conjunction with control and monitoring technology, the operator must en- sure that any breakdown or failure of the LT1 device does not cause inadmissible damage or dangerous operating states.
General Safety Instructions 2.1.6 Important Notes on Shutdown/Return to Service The Lambda Transmitter and the Lambda Probe form a high quality electronic system. Treat them with care at all times, including during shut-down, transport and storage. Shut-down NOTICE Do not switch the Lambda Transmitter off as long as the Lambda Probe is mounted; including when the relevant facility has been shut down.
General Description General Description System Overview The Lambda Transmitter LT1 is a universal, microprocessor-based measuring device for di- rectly measuring the O concentration in the super-stoichiometric range (λ > 1) in combination with the proven Lambda Probe LS1. The Combination Probe KS1 can be connected for measuring combustible Gas constituents...

Operation Practical Information 6.5.1 Damping for Jumping Display Values If values are found to be jumping, the display can be damped. Damping is specified via: • Parameter 360 for O measurement (release level for operation) • Parameter 441 for pressure measurement (release level for customer) NOTICE ...
Operation 6.5.2 Measurement in Wet and Very Contaminated Exhaust Gas NOTICE Never draw exhaust gas through cold probe. This can lead to a blockage of the “critical nozzle”. Observe heating-up time! • Observe heating up time: – for gas and fuel oil EL 1 hour –...
Wet/Dry Measurement Deviations, Conversion Table NOTICE The LT1 carries out measurements directly in the humid flue gases (wet measurement). When extractive devices are used, flue gases are removed and prepared. "Dry Measurements" are normally used here, since the humidity has been extracted from the flue gas.
Operation 6.5.4 Measurement Value Deviations due to Changes in Pressure The measurement value is controlled by pressure. The error influence is 1.3 % of the meas- urement value for each 10 mbar by which the pressure changes. Example: Meas. value 21 Vol.
