6 INTRODUCTION
M&C gas sample probes provide direct insitu ultra-fine filtration during continuous gas sampling for
analytic measurements. In this way, part of the necessary maintenance work for a system is
concentrated on a single point. This filter technology has the major advantage that dust mixtures
consisting of ultra-fine and coarse dusts can be optimally retained with the least possible maintenance
work.
Optimal adaptation of the sample probe to processing conditions and to measurement work is a
necessary condition for a measurement system to work smoothly. Basically, the gas sample should be
kept to a necessary minimum. This is made possible thanks to optimised downstream gas processing
using M&C components. Only in this way is it possible to reduce maintenance to a minimum while
ensuring maximum availability.
7 SERIAL NUMBERS
The nameplates bearing the serial number are located on the side of the electrical connection box.
Always quote the device's serial number when making enquiries and ordering replacement parts.
8 POWER SUPPLY
Depending on the version, the probe is operated with 115 or 230 V AC. Precise details can be found
on the device's nameplate.
