Description
3.8 IR measurement
The instruments NDIR gas sensor is able to detect up to 8 dierent gases.
It is most advanced in terms of its long-term stability due to a dedicated
stabilization technology including a permanent zeroing by operating the
bench at two dierent gas pressure values.
Due to its low noise and being drift free, it is perfectly suited to longterm measurements.
Principle of the IR-bench (NDIR)
1 IR source 2 Gas entry
3 Sample gas cell 4 Gas exit
5 Band pass lter 6 IR detector
An infrared source delivers IR radiation in the wavelength range between
1 and 10 um, which is relevant for the absorption of gas components to
be measured.
The target gas absorbs a portion of the IR radiation, which is detected by
a wavelength selective detectors and the end of the sample gas cell.
The absorption value is correlated with the gas concentration, while all
eects of cross sensitivity to other gases are corrected by an internal
software algorithm.
As the IR bench is operated successively at two dierent gas pressure
values, it is possible to eliminate all drift eects, which would otherwise
contribute to the absorption signal.

Measurement
6 Measurement
6.1 Preparation of each measurement
6.1.1 Power supply
The analyzer can be operated with an internal battery to warm up the
instrument or to use internal instrument functions. A mains connection
is required
for the measurement including heated gas sampling probe and
heating hose.
6.1.2 Charging state of the battery
The battery symbol in the display indicates approximately the remaining
capacity of the battery.
From 2% remaining capacity, the charging indicator starts to ash red. If
the instrument is not connected to the mains power supply within one
minute, the analyzer switches o to prevent battery discharge.
Even when the battery is discharged, the instrument can be operated
completely on the power supply.
6.1.3 Connections to the instrument
f Connect the gas sampling probe to the instrument (gas plug and elec-
trical plug).
f Consider to connect a hose or collecting container if necessary to the
condensate outlet when appropriate.
f The hose and any connected reservoir connected to the outlet must
not be closed against ambient or include an air outlet to avoid overpressure.
f Please note that measuring gas may leak at the instrument side or at
the VENT outlet. Connect a pump to the VENT output to collect the
sample gas. If an “active VENT” option is installed, an internal gas pump
feeds the sample gas completely to the VENT outlet, where an evacuating gas hose should be connected.
f In the case the option active vent is installed, note that the sample gas
at the exit may be diluted with ambient air and is therefore not adequate to be reused in the process.
f Ensure that ambient fresh air can be sucked in at the fresh air inlet.
Consider to connect a hose leading to fresh ambient air, when the
instrument’s environment contains toxic gases or a high CO2 level.
Acid from the condensate
Acid burns may result from weakly acidic liquids from the condensate.
f If you come into contact with acid, wash the area immediately using a
lot of water.
CAUTION
Risk due to toxic gases
There is a risk of poisoning.
Noxious gases are sucked in by the measuring device and released into
the ambient air.
f Only use the measuring device in well ventilated spaces.

Version 1
Measurement
f The ow rate of the gas should be within the specied range. Other-
wise, please check probe and lter for clogging
f Temperatures of NDIR and heating hose should be within the specied
range in order to guarantee a sucient measuring accuracy.
In the Extras menu under “Connections” the connection drawings are
displayed:
6.1.4 Operating temperature
The internal gas cooler operates at 5°C, which is the dew point of the
sample gas to the sensors. Components along the gas line may be damaged if they are colder than 5°C and condensation appears internally.
Therefore, if the Analyzer has been stored very cold below 0°C, it is essential to wait for the Analyzer to warm up in a warm environment in order
to avoid such condensation! In such cases, take a typical warm-up time
for the instrument of one hour into account, especially when wet ue
gases are to be measured.
If the operating temperature is not within the permissible range, a corresponding message is displayed.
6.1.5 Filter
The probe lter and the round lter must be checked before and after
each measurement
6.1.6 Switch-on, warm-up phase, zero point
After switching on, the instrument can always be operated, even if no gas
analysis can take place during the warm-up phase. The instrument independently performs the following actions during the warm-up phase:

Version 1
Measurement
y Heating the probe and the heating hose
y Warm up the NDIR bench (if available)
y After the operating temperatures have been reached, the gas pump is
switched on and the analyzer takes the zero point with fresh air.
y After the zeroing, the analyzer is ready for operation
If a new zero point is required by further heating the instrument, it can be
started via the context menu.
6.1.7 Instrument leak test
f Check all connections for correct t.
f Check all hoses and hose connections (from the tip of the probe to the
gas inlet of the measuring instrument) for leaks.
The Analyzer has a built-in “leak test” in menu Extras for checking the
tightness of the gas paths. This is done by measuring the remaining gas
ow when the gas path is closed.
f Seal the sample gas inlet
f If the complete gas path is to be tested for leakage - at the probe tip.
If the system is tight, the trac light is green and the l / h pointer points
to 0.
6.2 How to take a Measurement
6.2.1 Fuel type selection and O2 reference
The fuel selection can be selected in the menu Measure with the O2
reference / fuel in the “context menu”.
For this, the combustion analysis have to be switched on, also see 5.1

Data memory
8.4 Data transfer via USB (CSV export)
The data exchange format is CSV. A character-separated values (CSV) le
is a simple text format for a database table. Each record in the table is
one line of the text le. Each eld value of a record is separated from the
next by a character. The analyzer uses a semi-colon ‘;’ as value separator
(other implementations use sometimes a comma). CSV is a simple le
format that is widely supported, so it is often used to move tabular data
between dierent computer programs, for example Microsoft Excel™ or
Access™, that support the format. Also other computer programs oer
this type of interface because it is widely spread and easy to use.
The following functions are available
y Export of sites
y Export of ue gas measurements
f Insert USB Stick
f Select “site” and “measurement” in Contacts menu
f Now press “EXPORT CSV”
After this… you nd in the USB stick directory “1113Export” the export
les.
The le name is such as those “09_04_2018_15_02_02__Measurement__
Natural_gas.csv”….
f Open this le (*.csv) with Excel…. (don’t use the dat les… don’t use
“Internal log settings” are only for internal use or diagnostics)
8.5 Export of measurements
This function is used to export the measurements from the analyzer to a
computer program.
Attention, This function is not suitable for back-up or for the transfer to
another analyzer because the exported le cannot be imported again!
The created le has the name ‚EMIxxxxx.csv’, in which the xxxxx are continuing 5 digit numbers with leading zeros.
The created le has a column header with the following information: Site
number, Date/Time,
Measuring program name, Fuel type, CO2max, O2reference, and all measured values that the analyzer can measure.
