piercing knifes (Q35 in Figure 2 on page 6):
• Model 28072 for piercing metal caps
• Model 29979 for piercing PET bottles or plastic caps
Theory of operation
The beverage package sampler is used with an ORBISPHERE indicating instrument for analysis of
the oxygen, carbon dioxide and/or nitrogen gas content of a beverage. The ORBISPHERE indicating
instrument is supplied separately.
The indicating instrument reads and shows the measurement data from the package sampler sensor.
The indicating instrument is available in a portable, panel or wall mount version. Different indicating
instruments can be used. Refer to the indicating instrument documentation for additional information
(e.g., installation procedures, electrical connections).
The beverage package sampler holds the package sample being analyzed. A separate supply of
forcing gas moves the package liquid to the flow chamber, where the senor is installed. The sensor
and flow chamber are installed on the side of the sampler in a special sensor holder. The flow
chamber pulls liquid samples from the beverage sampler (e.g., bottle, can) to the sensor for analysis.
Different types of flow chambers are available for the different beverage package sampler
applications. The indicating instrument senses and shows on the display the package gas
concentration. The complete system supplies electrical and liquid connections to the instrument, to
the sensors and to the gas supplies.
Note: This manual is applicable to the ORBISPHERE Beverage Package Sampler models 29971 and 29972. Refer
to the user manual supplied with the gas analyzer indicating instrument that is used with the beverage package
sampler.

For the first intallation, tighten the fitting by hand. Use the wrench to tighten the fittings another ¼
turn.
2. Install the purge gas outlet with the supplied short length plastic tube. Put the plastic tube in the
orifice opposite the purge gas inlet and push firmly. To remove the tube, push on the ring around
the tube and pull.
3. Make sure that there is no loss of purge gas supply while the sensor is in a liquid sample and
always when the sensor is in line. If necessary, use a backup purge gas cylinder and an
automatic change-over valve, which operates when the first cylinders gas supply has expired.
Change-over valves are frequently known as flip-flop valves and are available from local gas
regulator suppliers.
4. Examine the purge gas flow rate as follows:
a. Connect the sensor to the instrument. Set the instrument to on. The inner solenoid valve in
the sensor opens and lets the gas to flow.
b. Put the open end of the exit tube in water.
c. Adjust the gas flow rate so that there is a minimum of three bubbles each second.
d. Remove the exit tube from the water.
Note: Do not keep the exit tube in the water, because water can go back in the tube and cause damage to
the CO2 sensor.
Install a regulator and filter (optional)
When the beverage package sampler is used for analysis of the CO2 or N2 content of a liquid, a TC
sensor is used. TC sensors must have a constant supply of purge gas for operation. The regulator
keeps a constant pressure of the purge gas to the TC sensor.
Use the optional ORBISPHERE model 29089 regulator and filter to make sure that the purge gas is
dry and kept at a correct pressure. The regulator is connected in-line with the purge gas supply,
directly to the purge gas entry port of the TC sensor. Install the regulator with the supplied stainlesssteel tubing connected to the CO2 or N2 sensor. Make sure to install the regulator vertical (±5%).
Obey the flow direction: from left to right (with the gauge in the front). Refer to Figure 6.
A gauge on the regulator shows the pressure of the gas. Turn the pressure adjuster knob on the top
of the unit to adjust the pressure of the purge gas. Refer to Specifications on page 3 for the correct
gas pressure.
Make sure to drain the condensate at periodic intervals for a correct compressed air filter
maintenance. Open the condensate bleed screw to blow the moisture with pressure. Refer to
Figure 6.The filter is made of sintered metal. An O-ring keeps the filter in the correct position when
the filter bowl is removed. Clean or replace the filter if the filter becomes heavily contaminated. Use
rinsing water and compressed air to clean the filter.

Model 31560 or 31590—N2 sensor
Use pure CO2 from a cylinder for the purge gas for N2 sensors. Make sure that the flow rate and
pressure do not exceed the values in Specifications on page 3.
Note: Do not use more than the recommended purge gas pressure. Too much pressure will inflate the sensing
membrane and give incorrect measurements.
Model 31460 or 31490—CO2 sensor
Use nitrogen for the purge gas for CO2 sensors. A source of reasonably pure purge gas is necessary
(e.g., 99.8%). Install a sub-micron filter before the CO2 sensor if clean, dry air or bulk nitrogen is used
as purge gas. Make sure that the flow rate and pressure do not exceed the values in Specifications
on page 3.
Note: Do not use more than the recommended purge gas pressure. Too much pressure will inflate the sensing
membrane and give incorrect measurements.

C A U TI O N
Personal injury hazard. Glass components can break. Handle with care to prevent cuts.
Before measurements are started, do the steps that follow:
1. Make sure that the indicating instrument is correctly installed and configured. Refer to the
indicating instrument documentation.
2. Make sure that the connections between the indicating instrument and the sensor(s) on the
beverage package sampler are correct.
3. Always keep the indicating instrument energized to make sure that TC sensors are continuously
purged when the sensors are used in a liquid sample.
Note: The instrument is configured to continuously purge automatically while set to on.
4. Examine and prepare the sensors as follows:
a. Examine the oxygen sensor (EC). Shipping conditions can adversely have an effect on
oxygen sensors. Prepare the sensor for use. Refer to the maintenance section of the EC
Sensor documentation.
b. Examine the oxygen sensor (LDO). Prepare the sensor for use. Refer to the sensor
documentation.
c. Examine the TC sensor purge gas supply. Make sure that the gas supply operates before the

5. Make sure that the gas pressure is 0.5 to 1 bar more than the dissolved CO2 pressure of the
sample. Do not exceed the maximum permitted pressure for the package (bottle or can) or the
package could explode. For measurements with TC sensors, it is important to use the same
forcing gas pressure for both: calibration and gas measurement operations.
6. Shake the package, if applicable. In some beverage sampling applications, it is necessary to
shake the beverage packages to equilibrate the contents of the package. Use a reciprocating
shaker for a minimum of 3 minutes.
Indicating instrument setup
Make sure that the indicating instrument setup is completed before the measurements are started.
Configure parameters such as the gas to measure, the display units and the sensor membrane used.
Refer to the indicating instrument documentation for additional information.
Adjust the package position
Before the measurements are started, adjust the beverage package sampler for the type of beverage
sample container (bottle or can). Refer to Figure 7 and to the steps that follow:
1. Push the top (moveable) black block to the highest position (A) to lift the piercing and sampling
assembly.
2. Make sure that the piercing lever (B) is in a vertical position.
3. Hold the piercing unit sliding assembly with one hand and loosen the orange handle (C).
4. Lift the piercing unit sliding assembly upwards on the two metal columns.
5. Put the beverage sample to be analyzed on the mat of the base plate (D).
Make sure to vertically install the beverage sample. If possible, pierce cans through the top. If
there is not sufficient area for piercing in the top of the can because of the tab, then pierce
through the bottom. Piercing through the bottom has the advantage that the metal is thicker and
less easily deformed, but sometimes has the disadvantage that the piercing needle becomes
immersed in the beverage.
6. Lower the piercing unit carefully until the piercing head support plate with the circular hole
touches the top of the beverage sample (E). The piercing head support prevents unwanted
movement of the beverage sample.
7. Lift the orange handle to the upper position of the groove and tighten it again.
The unit is prepared for measurement.
Note: If the type of package sample is changed, such as a different dimension bottle or can, do the adjust package
procedure again.

Produktübersicht
Das Getränke-Probenahmegerät wird zur Messung der Gaskonzentrationen eines Getränks
verwendet. Es gibt zwei verschiedene Modelle des Getränke-Probenahmegeräts: eines zur
Probenahme an Wein (oder stillen Flüssigkeiten) und eines zur Probenahme an Bier (oder
kohlensäurehaltigen Flüssigkeiten). Siehe Tabelle 1 und Abbildung 1.

Modell 29971
Modell 29971 misst Gaskonzentrationen in Wein oder kohlensäurefreien Flüssigkeiten. Siehe
Abbildung 2 und Ersatzteile – Anstichvorrichtungskopf auf Seite 41.
Für die Probenahme aus Wein verwenden Sie Modell 29971 mit vormontiertem
Anstichvorrichtungskopf 29973. Siehe Foto R in Abbildung 2. Die Anstichnadelbaugruppe (R3 in
Abbildung 2) durchsticht bei Weinflaschen alle Arten von Korken und verfügt über eine bewegliche
Nadel aus Edelstahl innerhalb einer festen zylindrischen Röhre. Die Halterungsplatte des
Anstichvorrichtungskopfs (R6 in Abbildung 2) verfügt über eine Dichtungseinheit und sorgt so für
eine perfekte Abdichtung zwischen den Flaschenkorken und dem externen Medium. Um eine
korrekte und bessere Abdichtung zu erreichen, stellen Sie sicher, dass der Silikonabdichtstopfen
(R4 in Abbildung 2) eingesetzt ist.

Modell 29972
Modell 29972 misst Gaskonzentrationen in Bier oder kohlensäurehaltigen Flüssigkeiten. Es gibt zwei
Modelle:
• Modell 29972 wird mit einem elektrochemischen Sensor (EC-Sensor) verwendet.
• Modell 29972.M wird mit einem Lumineszenzsensor für gelösten Sauerstoff (LDO, Luminescent
Dssolved Oxygen) verwendet.
Bei beiden Modellen ist der Anstichvorrichtungskopf 29974 vormontiert. Siehe Foto Q in Abbildung 2
auf Seite 26.
Die Anstichnadelbaugruppe (Q3 in Abbildung 2 auf Seite 26) durchsticht Dosen, Metall- oder
Kunststoffkappen sowie Kronkorken, die bei der Bierproduktion verwendet werden. Die
Anstichnadelbaugruppe verfügt über eine Anstichröhre, die von einer Gummidichtung umgeben ist
(Q4 in Abbildung 2 auf Seite 26). Auf diese Weise wird eine perfekte Abdichtung zwischen der
Flaschenkappe und dem externen Medium erreicht. Im Inneren der Anstichröhre ist das EdelstahlProberöhrchen beweglich gelagert. Es gibt zwei Anstichmesser (Q35 in Abbildung 2 auf Seite 26):
• Modell 28072 zum Durchstechen von Metallkappen
• Modell 29979 zum Durchstechen von PET-Flaschen oder Kunststoffkappen
Theorie des Betriebs
Das Getränke-Probenahmegerät wird zusammen mit einem ORBISPHERE Anzeigeinstrument für
die Analyse des Sauerstoff-, Kohlendioxid- und/oder Stickstoffgehalts von Getränken verwendet. Das
ORBISPHERE Anzeigeinstrument wird separat geliefert.
Das Anzeigeinstrument liest die Messdaten vom Gebindeprobenahme-Sensor aus und zeigt sie an.
Das Anzeigeinstrument ist als tragbare Version und für die Schrank- oder Wandmontage erhältlich.
Es können verschiedene Anzeigeinstrumente verwendet werden. Weitere Informationen (z. B. zur
Installation oder zu elektrischen Anschlüssen) finden Sie in der Dokumentation des
Anzeigeinstruments.
Das Getränke-Probenahmegerät hält die zu analysierende Gebindeprobe. Durch die separate
Druckgaszufuhr wird die Gebindeflüssigkeit in die Durchflusskammer getrieben. Dort ist der Sensor
installiert. Sensor und Durchflusskammer sind seitlich am Probenahmegerät in einer speziellen
Sensorhalterung installiert. Die Durchflusskammer saugt Flüssigkeitsproben aus dem GetränkeProbenahmegerät (z. B. Flasche, Dose) zur Analyse zum Sensor. Für die verschiedenen
Anwendungen von Getränke-Probenahmegeräten gibt es unterschiedliche Arten von
Durchflusskammern. Das Anzeigeinstrument ermittelt die Gaskonzentration im Gebinde und zeigt
diese auf dem Display an. Das ganze System liefert Anschlüsse für Strom und Flüssigkeiten mit dem
Instrument, den Sensoren und der Gaszufuhr.
Hinweis: Dieses Handbuch gilt für die ORBISPHERE Getränke-Probenahmegeräte 29971 und 29972. Weitere
Informationen finden Sie im Benutzerhandbuch des Gasanalysator-Anzeigeinstruments, das zusammen mit dem
Getränke-Probenahmegerät verwendet wird.
