“FIDOR” stands for “FIDOR / FIDOR I” in these Operating Instructions. Product characteristics GMS800 FIDOR are hydrocarbon analyzers for continuous monitoring of flue gases in industrial combustion plants (emission measuring system). The device operates in extractive mode, i.e. the measured gas is withdrawn from the gas duct using a gas sampling probe and fed to the analysis system via a (heated) line.
Product description GMS800 FIDOR 3.2.2 Device versions FIDOR and FIDOR I have an enclosure that can be fitted in a 19" rack or a suitable outer housing. The GMS800 variants comprise the following enclosure versions: GMS810: 19" enclosure with integrated control panel (BCU).

GMS800 FIDOR Shutting down Shutting down 10.1 Preparations for shutdown ▸ Purge the sample gas path with a dry, neutral gas (e.g. instrument air). 10.2 Shutdown procedure 1 Close off the test gas supply. 2 Close off the fuel gas supply.
Flush all parts carrying gas with purge gas for two hours. >>> Removing fluid/solid residues: Carry out decontamination appropriate for the requirements arising from this contamination. Contact Endress+Hauser Customer Service when necessary. If the enclosure also has contact with toxic gases during the application, decon- taminate the enclosure as well before carrying out maintenance/repairs.
(e.g. pull the power line out of the power socket or switch off the external power fuse). ▸ Contact Endress+Hauser Service to have the device repaired. Use a soft cloth to clean the enclosure. Moisten the cloth with water and a mild detergent when necessary.
WARNING: Risk of explosion ▸ Only technicians with special FIDOR training are allowed to perform maintenance tasks on the FIDOR. ▸ Only use original Endress+Hauser spare parts. 12.2 Replacement of fuses CAUTION: Hazards through electric voltages ▸ Only let the work described in the following be carried out by skilled electricians who are familiar with potential risks and are able to avoid them.
A relevant error message is displayed on the operator panel and entered in the logbook. ● ▸ If you cannot clear the error: Contact Endress+Hauser Customer Service. If it was possible to clear the error without switching the FIDOR off, the device switches automatically to Measuring mode.
