Description The probes type SP3200(V).. have been designed for easy use, long life and uncomplicated service and mainte- nance. The internal filter element can be replaced without the need of tools or dismounting of the sample line. After having removed the internal filter element, both the filter chamber and the sample tube can be cleaned easily.

General safety instructions for back purging and feeding of calibration gas A back purging gas suitable for the sampling point must be selected for back purging. The back purging pressure/calibration gas pressure must always be higher than the pro- cess pressure. This minimum pressure must be monitored with a press switch at the inlet side of the accumulator or the check valve.
Page 14
During the feeding of test gas, the analyse system remains connected. The quantity of test gas should be at least 25 % higher than the quantity of sample gas which is taken in by the analysing system, thus avoiding a mixture with the test gas.
Page 15
Option /3VA Test Gas Feeding and Back Purging via 3/2-Way Ball Valve With the 3/2-way ball valve, you can execute both functions “back purging“ and “test gas feeding“ one after the other. Only one operation each may be automated via the pneumatic actuation. This kind of gas feeding provides the advantage that during back purging the downstream analyse system is auto- matically separated from the probe respectively, the probe is automatically separated from the process during test gas feeding.

Ball Valve Drive MS1 The following drives are available: Pneumatic drive with spring return type MS/ NC or NO Hereby 2 operating conditions can be realised: a. Using a shut off ball valve VA the conditions: “Open=measuring” and “shut”. b. Using a 3/2-way ball valve /3VA either the conditions: “Open=measuring”...

10.1 Maximum Surface Temperature of the Gas Sample Probe: The maximum surface temperature of the gas sample probe depends on the temper- ature of the process medium and the options used (heating HEX5-x.08 and back purge /RS). Under no circumstances, the sample probes SP3200(V)… must exceed the maximum surface temperature fixed by the temperature class.

11 Receipt of Goods and Storage • The probe and any special accessories should be unpacked carefully immediately upon delivery and checked against the delivery note for completeness. • The delivery should be checked for transport damage and the transport insurer notified immediately of any damage.

12 Preparations for Installation First make sure that conditions at the intended place of use correspond to the data on the rating plate. The temperature of the process must be taken into account when selecting the sampling point. Heating of the probe above the temperature limit given in table 5 must be prevented. It must be ensured that the temperature class of the probe corresponds to the ig- nition temperatures of the combustible gases/vapors.
Page 23
The prevailing operating parameters must be checked against the following table prior to installation: Operating parameters for the combustible gas (SP3200(V)) Gas composition corrosive toxic explosive Zone classification process side Zone classification environment Ignition temperature of the gases/va- °C Corresponds to pours...

13.1 Connection of the Sample Line • A ¼" NPT internal thread is provided on the probe side for connection of the sample line. Suitable connecting unions for explosion-protected lines in the sizes Ø 6 mm (standard), 8 mm or 10 mm can be screwed into this thread using PTFE sealing tape.
Page 27
When using the option back purging unit /RS the corresponding line must be connected to the accumulator. A back purging gas suitable for the sampling point must be selected for back purging. The back purging pressure must always be higher than the process pressure. This mini- mum pressure must be monitored at the inlet side of the accumulator with a pressure monitoring switch.

14 Electrical Connection A wrong supply voltage can damage the device. Make sure that the supply voltage cor- Warning responds to the voltage shown on the rating plate before connecting the device. The requirements of VDE 0100 and its associated standards and regulations must be ob- served when erecting high-voltage power installations with rated voltages of up to 1000 V! In any case, we recommend the use of heat-resistant cables.

15 Preparations for commissioning Before initial startup, all plant- and process-specific safety measures must be observed. It is mandatory for the op- erator to complete the enclosed risk assessment of the product. The gas exposure risk must be assessed by the operator with regard to the hazards posed by process and calibration gas and the setup at the installation site (e.g.
