  • Page 11: Description

    Description The PMA20 is a reliable and easy-to-operate instrument. It is built into a compact wall mounting housing. The transducer unit maintains a constant operating temperature of 50 °C and a flashing LED on the control panel indicates the proper operating temperature of the analyzer. The four measuring ranges are displayed on the analogue meter with 30/ 100% scale.

  • Page 14: Receipt Of Goods And Storage

    Note Installation The PMA20 is intended for stationary operation. In combination with a gas conditioning according to the requirements a long lasting operability and a minimum of maintenance is guaranteed. The sample gas has to be dust free and dry to prevent a contamination and condensation in the analyzer.

  • Page 16: Electrical Connection

    14.1 Signal output The PMA20 has two signal outputs as standard. One signal is 0-1 V for 100 % O (independent of the chosen measuring range). The second signal is 0-20 or 4-20 mA according to the order with a burden of 300 Ohm for each measuring range.
