6 INTRODUCTION
Hot sample gas very often contains solids like dust, taar or grime and water vapour. These materials
cause problems for a continuous gas analysis, especially when the gas temperature falls below the
dew point. The sample line will be blocked and the analyser will be damaged. Therefore the solids
have to be separated and a temperature drop below the dew point has to be prevented. For this
complex of problems the electrically heated M&C universal filter type FSS-../H350 was designed.
7 APPLICATION
The electrically heated M&C universal filter type FSS../H350 separates fine dust particles of 2 or 3 µm
or solids like taar or grime from the sample gas at operating temperatures up to 350 °C. For an
efficient filtration very fine filter elements with high deep action are used. For separation of e.g. taar
and grime a special filter cartridge filled up with spun glass is used.

9 DESCRIPTION
The M&C filter FSS../H350 is mounted thermally isolated on a plate. The stainless steel filter body with
integrated filter element, alternatively of ceramic, stainless steel or special spun glass, is completely
covered by a heated metal enclosure.
The high capacity heating element is controlled by an incorporated compact capillary sensor
thermostat in a temperature range of +50 °C to 350 °C. The thermostat is equipped with an
temperature limiter switch with reset key, releasing at 30 °C above set-temperature, and a voltage-free
low temperature alarm contact at 30 °C below set-temperature. In order to avoid cold spots, the
welded connecting fittings are heated up with the filter by means of two heat conducting jaws.
Outside the lagged cap a junction box is mounted which contains the thermostat as well as the
terminals for electrical connection. Two brackets fix the heated lines. The complete conception
guarantees a safe operation and a simple maintenance. No tools are needed for replacing the filter
element, during the heated sample lines remain in their position.

10 RECEPTION AND STORAGE
The device is a complete pre-installed unit.
Carefully inspect the device and any special accessories included with it immediately on arrival
by removing them from the packing and checking for missing articles against the packing list!
Check the items for any damage in transit and, if required, inform the shipping insurance
company immediately of the damage found!

SKILLED STAFF
The installation has to be carried out by skilled staff !
NOTE!
Locate the universal filter series FSS-…/H350 in such a way that there is
adequate space for removing the cover and replacing the filter elements.
Make certain that the universal filter series FSS-…/H350 is easily
accessible so that you can carry out any subsequent maintenance work
without trouble.
AT TENTI ON !
Do not interchange sample inlet and outlet. The connections are marked
on the weather protection shield.
After connecting the sample lines, make sure that the connections are
leak proof.
AT TENTI ON !
If a PTFE tube is used as sample line, an insert has to be used in the end
of the tube in order to prevent the tube being pressed together.
SKILLED STAFF
The electrical connections have to be carried out by skilled staff !
11 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
The filter FSS-../H350 is suitable for wall mounting. The aluminium mounting plate is fixed with 4
screws (s. Fig. 1).
12 SUPPLY CONNECTIONS
12.1 HOSE CONNECTIONS
The connection for sample gas inlet and outlet happens on the top and bottom of the filter. For this
purpose tube connectors ø 6 mm (ø 1/4" as option) are mounted (s. Fig. 1).
Remove the cover of the heated filter after opening the two clamping devices.
Disconnect the thermal conductivity jaws by loosening the knurled nuts.
Remove the upper part of the sample line’s mounting bracket and insert the sample line into
the threaded pipe joint and connect it. The temperature-resistant, stainless steel connectors
supplied by M&C have a double ferrule system to ensure reliable sealing. After tightening the
nuts of these connectors by hand, they should then be tightened exactly 1¼ of a turn using a
flat spanner and are then properly mounted.
Screw on the upper part of the mounting bracket and fix the heated sample line. Now place
the heat conducting jaws around the sample gas connection in the retaining slot and fix with
the knurled nuts.
12.2 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Gas sampling and gas conditioning technology 5-2.1.5-ME

WA RNING !
When connecting the equipment, please ensure that the supply
voltage is identical with the information provided on the model type
plate!
NOTE!
Attention must be paid to the requirements of IEC 364 (DIN VDE
0100) when setting high-power electrical units with nominal
voltages of up to 1000 V, together with the associated standards
and stipulations.
In any case we recommend the use of temperature resistant cable !
A main switch and matching fuse must be provided externally!
The main circuit must be equipped with a fuse corresponding to
the nominal current (over current protection); for electrical details
see technical data.
It is recommended to use the low temperature alarm. In case of an
alarm the flow can be stopped and the components downstream
the filter are safe from demage.

SKILLED STAFF
The starting has to be carried out by skilled staff !
WA RNING !
Before starting up check whether the mains power supply voltage
corresponds with the information stated on the nameplate.
Beware of touching the filter surface during operation. Serious
burns can occur because of high surface temperatures. Wear
protective gloves and protect the filter from unauthorized access.
NOTE!
If the rated value temperature needs to be lowered more than 30°C
in one step duration operation, the thermostat's excess
temperature switch-off is triggered (for re-start press reset key).
NOTE!
The total heating-up time is approximately 2 hours.
In case of low temperature alarm (failure of heating) the gas flow
has to be interrupted by adequate measures!
13 STARTING
Before starting the gas conditioning system please pay attention to the site-oriented and processoriented precautions.
For the carried media the corresponding safety regulations and measures have to be considered.
Check the rated value setting on the built-in thermostat (s. Fig. 2).
Switch on mains power supply.

SKILLED STAFF
The shut-down has to be carried out by skilled staff !
NOTE!
Before shut-down, i.e. switching off the heating, the probe be
flushed with inert gas or air in order to avoid condensation of
aggressive components from the process gas.
SKILLED STAFF
Maintenance has to be carried out by skilled staff !
WA RNING !
Aggressive condensate is possible.
Wear protective glasses and proper protective clothing!
Flush the filter in case of toxic gases!
For maintenance work during operation:
High surface temperatures!
Touching the filter surface can cause serious burns!
Wear protective gloves and protect the filter of unauthorized
access!
14 SHUT-DOWN
15 MAINTENANCE
The safety instructions specific to the plant and process are to be consulted prior to any maintenance
work!
It is difficult to give any recommendations as to a particular maintenance cycle. Depending on your
process conditions, a meaningful maintenance cycle must be elaborated for the specific application.
An indication that filter-maintenance may be necessary could be shown by a constant decline in the
amount of sample gas in the analysis system.
Probe maintenance is restricted essentially to replacing filter elements and checking seals.
