Safety instructions

2.2 General hazard warnings

Installation of the device shall be performed by trained staff only, familiar with the safety require­ments and risks.

Check all relevant safety regulations and technical indications for the specific installation place.
Prevent failures and protect persons against injuries and the device against damage.

– safety and operation instructions are accessible and followed,
– local safety regulations and standards are obeyed,
– performance data and installation specifications are regarded,
– safety devices are installed and recommended maintenance is performed,
– national regulations for disposal of electrical equipment are obeyed.

Maintenance, repair:

– Repairs on the device must be carried out by Bühler authorized persons only.
– Only perform modifications, maintenance or mounting described in this manual.
– Only use original spare parts.

When carrying out maintenance works of any kind, the relevant health and safety regulations of
the country of use must be observed.

DANGER Electrical voltage

Electrocution hazard.

a) Disconnect the device from power supply.

b) Make sure that the equipment cannot be reconnected to mains unintention-

ally.

c) The device must be opened by trained staff only.

d) Regard correct mains voltage.

DANGER Toxic and corrosive gases / condensate

Sample gas / condensate can be hazardous.

a) Take care that the gas is exhausted in a place where no persons are in

danger.

b) Before maintenance turn off the gas supply and make sure that it cannot be

turned on unintentionally.

c) Protect yourself during maintenance against toxic / corrosive gases / con-

densate. Use gloves, respirator and face protector under certain circum­stances.

DANGER Potentially explosive atmosphere

Explosion hazard if used in hazardous areas.
The device is not suitable for operation in hazardous areas with potentially ex­plosive atmospheres.

Transport and storage

3 Transport and storage

The device should be only transported in the original case or in appropriate packing.

If the device is not used for some time, protect it against heat and humidity. Store the device in
a roofed, dry, and dust free room. Temperature should be between -20 °C and 60 °C (-4 °F and
140 °F).

Installation and connection

4 Installation and connection

4.1 Installation site requirements

The unit is intended for wall-mounted or table-top use in enclosed areas. Adequate protection
from the weather must be provided when used outdoors.

Install the unit leaving enough room below the cooler to discharge the condensate. Leave room
above for the gas supply.

Be sure to maintain the approved ambient temperature. Do not obstruct the convection of the
cooler. The vents must have enough room to the next obstacle. The distance must especially be
a minimum of 10 cm on the air outlet side.

Ensure adequate ventilation when installing in enclosed housings, e.g. analyser cabinets. If the
convection is inadequate, we recommend aerating the cabinet or installing a fan to lower the in­side temperature.

4.2 Installation

Run the gas supply to the cooler with a downward slope. The gas inputs are marked in red and
additionally labelled “IN”.

If a large amount of condensate accumulates, we recommend using a condensate pre-separ­ator before the cooler. Our fluid separators with automatic condensate drain, 11LD spec.,
AK20V or model 165 SS, are suitable.

Glass vessels and automatic condensate drains are available for draining condensate for ex­ternal mounting below the unit. When using automatic condensate drains, the gas pump must
be installed ahead of the cooler to ensure proper function of the condensate drain.

If the sample gas pump is located at the cooler outlet (suction operation), we recommend using
glass condensate traps or peristaltic pumps.

Connecting the condensate drains

Depending on the material, build a connecting line with fittings and tubing or hose between the
heat exchanger and condensate drain. For stainless steel the condensate drain can be suspen­ded directly to the connecting tube, for hoses the condensate drain must be secured separately
using a clamp.

The condensate drain can be mounted directly to the heat exchanger.

Condensate lines must always be installed with a slope and a minimum inside diameter of DN
8/10 (5/16”).

Peristaltic pump (optional)

A peristaltic pump may also be installed a little away from the cooler. The bottom of the cooler
has two rivet M4 nuts designated for installing the pump directly below the cooler.

NOTICE

Installing peristaltic pumps limits the maximum approved operating pressure
in the system!
Operating pressure ≤ 0.5 bar

Installation and connection

4.3 Electrical connections

WARNING Hazardous electrical voltage

The device must be installed by trained staff only.

CAUTION Wrong mains voltage

Wrong mains voltage may damage the device.
Regard the correct mains voltage as given on the type plate.

WARNING High voltage

Damage to the device in case of insulation testing

Do not proceed insulation tests with high voltage to the device as a whole!

Insulation test

The device is equipped with extensive EMC protection. If insulation tests are carried out the
electronic filter devices will be damaged. All necessary tests have been carried out for all con­cerned groups of components at the factory (test voltage 1 kV or 1.5 kV respectively, depending
on the device).

If you wish to carry out the insulation test by yourself, please test only separate groups of com­ponents.

Disconnect the compressor, the fan, the heating or the peristaltic pumps, respectively, and then
carry out the insulation tests.

Connection via plug

The device is equipped with connectors according to DIN 43650 for mains and status output. If
the cables are mounted properly, they cannot be interchanged. Please make sure that the con­nectors are remounted correctly after connecting the cable. The following figures show the pin
assignment with respect to the numbers printed on the connector.

Fig.2: A05-100002 Cooler electric supply

The mains supply must be protected with 16 A. The clamping area has a diameter of 8-10 mm.
If the unit features a peristaltic pump, it must be connected to a power source separately.

Operation and control

5 Operation and control

NOTICE

The device must not be operated beyond its specifications.

After turning on the power supply the display shows the actual temperature of the cooling block.
The display blinks until the (set) temperature range with respect to the pre-set output dew point
is reached. The status contact is switched to "Alarm".

If the temperature range is reached, the actual temperature is shown constantly and status con­tact switches back.

If the display starts blinking during operation or if an error message is displayed see chapter
"Troubleshooting".

For performance limits see datasheet.

5.1.2 Detailed description of the operational principle

The detailed description will guide you through the menu step by step.

Connect the unit to the power supply and wait for the startup procedure to complete. At
first the software version implemented on the unit will be displayed for a brief period.
The unit will then switch directly into measured value display.

Pressing the button will take you from display mode to the main menu. (The control will
continue running whilst in menu mode.)

Use these buttons to navigate the main menu.

After confirming a main menu item the associated submenu will open

Here you can configure operating parameters:
Cycle through the submenu to configure the parameters,

then confirm the menu item to be changed.

You can now set values within specific limits.

After confirming the value the system will save it. This will automatically return you to
the submenu.

If no button is pushed for approx. 5 s, the unit will automatically return to the submenu.
Changes to values will not be saved.

The same applies to the sub- and main menu. The system will automatically return to
display mode without saving the (last) value changed. Parameters which were previ­ously changed and saved will be retained and not reset.

NOTICE!After saving values with the Enter key they will be applied to the control.
