Containment System
The part of the analyzer containing the gas
that may constitute an internal source of release.
Explosive Gas(es)
Flammable gases and gas mixtures of a
concentration within the explosion limits and
present in mixture with air.
Flammable Gas(es)
Gases and gas mixtures are assigned to be
ammable if they might become ignitable
when in a mixture with air.
Dilution
The continuous supply of a protective gas,
after purging, at such a rate that the con-
centration of a ammable mixture inside the
pressurized enclosure is maintained at a
value outside the explosive limits except in a
dilution area.
External Explosion Protection
The „External explosion protection“ serves to
prevent penetration of explosive gas mixtures into the analyzer enclosure. In addition it
avoids ignition on the surface. For this reason
the analyzer is purged with protective gas and
held at an internal overpressure compared to
the surrounding atmosphere.

Terms used in this manual
Internal Explosion Protection
The „Internal explosion protection“ serves
to prevent ignition of gas being present in
the analyzer’s Containment System (CS;=
sample gas path).
Dependent on the gas composition several
options are available:
None required (if gas is noncombustible),
dilution by purge gas or/and internal overpressure of the analyzer’s enclosure compared
to the CS.
Lower Explosion Limit (LEL)
Volume ratio of ammable gas in air below
which an explosive gas atmosphere will not
be formed: the mixture of gas and air lacks
sufcient fuel (gas) to burn.
Protective Gas
Air or inert gas used for purging and maintaining an overpressure and, if required, dilution.
Purge mode „Leakage Compensation“
In EEx p „leakage compensation mode“ just
as much protective gas is used to hold an
overpressure of > 1 mbar compared to atmospheric.
Pre-Purging
The pre-purging phase serves to remove any
combustible gas out of the analyzer’s enclosure prior to switching on the analyzer. During
this time the housing is purged with 5 times
its own volume.
Purge mode „Continuous Flow“
In EEx p „continuous ow mode“ the protec-
tive gas ows with higher rates through the
enclosure. Flow rates are calculated to hold
an overpressure of > 1 mbar compared to
atmospheric.
Upper Explosion Limit (UEL)
Volume ratio of ammable gas in air above
which an explosive gas atmosphere will not
be formed: the mixture of gas and air is too
rich in fuel (decient in oxygen) to burn.

CHAPTER 1
Technical Description
1.1 Application and Principle of Operation
MLT 2 / BINOS 100 F
The gas analyzers of type BINOS 100 F and
MLT 2 are intended to measure gas components within gas mixtures. In combination with
an appropriate certied pressurization system
(protection method „Pressurized Enclosure“
Ex p) they can be installed and operated in
hazardous areas of Zone 2.
Pressurization acts as external explosion
protection and prevents external explosive
atmosphere to penetrate into the analyzer
by holding the enclosure at an overpressure
compared to the surrounding
The type of purge system used varies dependent on the area where the analyzer is
intended to be installed. Both systems offer
two modes of operation:
•Ex p with continuous ow
and
•Ex p with leakage compensation.
Dependent on the sample gas composition it
may be necessary to take care of internal explosion protection which refers to the sample gas
path (containment system) in the analyzer.
One has to differentiate between the following
measurement applications:
•Nonammable gases and gas mixtu-
res below the LEL: It must be ensured
that the sample gas in the containment
system always remains below the lower
explosive limit!
• Flammable gases and gas mixtures
may be analyzed using an analyzer with
pressurization method „leakage compen sation“ when the sample gas is diluted
below ¼ LEL outside the analyzer, so the
resulting sample gas is to be categorized
„nonflammable“. The diluting system
must ensure that the gas in the containment system always remains below ¼
LEL.
• Flammable gases and gas mixtures
may be analyzed using an analyzer
with pressurization method „leakage
compensation“ or „continuous flow“
when the analyzer enclosure has an
internal overpressure of > 50 Pa above
the pressure in the containment system.
To ensure this condition a differential
pressure switch is used and connected between containment system and
analyzer enclosure, activating an alarm
contact in case the pressure decreases
below the level of 50 Pa. For Category 2
instruments the purging unit disconnects
the analyzer from it’s power supply and
starts a prepurge phase. For Category 3
instruments the operator has to ensure
the alarm signal is interpreted in a proper
way. If more than one switch is needed
because more than one ammable gas is
supplied to the analyzer, the contacts of
these switches have to be connected in
series. Purge medium may be inert gas
or air.
Depending on the measured gas and
methode infallible containments may be
used, so differential pressure switches
become redundant.

1.2 Description of Pressurization System
1.2 Description of Pressurization System
The intention of a pressurized analyzer is to
keep out of the instrument a surrounding potentially explosive atmosphere by providing
an internal overpressure. The pressurization
system consists of a gas inlet valve, control unit
with micro processor and a bypass switch (Cat
2 only). The control unit monitors all relevant
parameters (pre-purge phase, purge medium
flow, internal overpressure, and more) and
ensures safe operation.
Category 2 analyzers, to be installed in Zone 1
are automatically pre-purged before the power
supply is activated. This ensures a potentially
explosive atmosphere is ushed out. The pre-
purge phase is controlled by the micro processor
unit, which also activates the power supply for
the analyzer when the pre-purge phase has
elapsed or disconnects the analyzer from power
supply in case of failure. It´s internal design has
redundant components to ensure safe operation
even in case of 1 failure.
The main difference of a Category 3 pressu-rization unit for Zone 2 installation is, that this
unit does not control the analyer´s power supply (e.g. in case of a failure the analyzer is not
disconnected), pre-purging is only optional and
the internal controller design is not as redundant
(safe operation without failure). If an infallible
containment is available for the specic appli-
cation, it can be used for measuring ammable
gases. But, measuring ammable gases utilizing
a differential pressure switch is not permitted: In
this case a Zone 1 instrument has to be used.
The different gaspath designs for measuring
ammable or non-ammable gases also inuence the intruments operation parameters:
Measuring non-ammable gases:
The pressurization system provides an internal
overpressure of 14 mbar. The acceptable samp-
le gas pressure complies with the specications
of an analyzer for non-hazardous (general purpose) areas.
Measuring ammable gases utilizing a diffe-
rential pressure switch:
The internal overpressure is adjusted to
14 mbar. The opertor has to ensure the gas
pressure (sample gas, calibration gases) inside
the containment system remains below 12 mbar,
due to the fact that there is a differential pressure switch installed in each gas path containing
ammable gas. Limiting the gas pressure ensures the pressure inside the instrument is always
at minimum 50 Pa (0,5 mbar) above the con-
tainment pressure. This conguration ensures
that in case of a gas path leak ammable gas
cannot enter the analyzer enclosure.
In case the pressure difference is less than the
given values (due to a failure), the control unit
disconnects the analyzer power supply and
starts pre-purging.
EXPLOSION HAZARD
The operator has to ensure that in case the analyzer is disconnected from
its power supply, applied external signals are disconnected, too, if they are
not intrinsically safe!

label may cause an explosion, injury or damage to the installation.
Pressurized analyzers for hazardous locations do NOT provide wide range power
supplies! This type of analyzers is always setup for a specic rated input voltage,
see nameplate label!
Ensure the voltage at site of installation meets the rated analyzer input
voltage!

1.3.6 Differential Pressure Monitoring
For analyzers connected to ammable gases
(either sample gas or span gas) the operator
needs to ensure that the pressure within the
containment system always remains at minimum 50 Pa below the pressure within the
analyzer enclosure. This ensures that in case
of a leak the ammable gas does not enter
the enclosure.
An additional differential pressure switch must
be provided to monitor the pressure difference. The switch’s electric contact has to be
1.3.7 Infallible Containments
Infallible containments may be used alterna-
tively for measuring ammable gases instead
of using differential pressure monitoring:
Infallible containments are designed and
built using joints made by welding, brazing,
glass to metal sealing, eutectic or comparable
methods. This ensures that the containment
does not have any intentional leakage into
the pressurized enclosure and supersedes
connected to the purge system. In case the
pressure difference decreases below 50 Pa
the contact opens and the purge system shuts
down the analyzer.
The limit of 50 Pa is the lowest permissible
value given by the standards, higher values
are acceptable, too.
Electrical and mechanical connections are
shown in section 2 „Installation“.

hazardous area at a safe point. Sample
gas lines may be returned to the sampling
point.
•If gas exhaust lines end within the hazardous area gas inlet and outlet have to be
equipped with ame arrestors.
•The maximum permissible gas pressure
depends on the type of installed measu-
ring principle and classication of gas
(ammable / nonammable). See section
1.3.4 for detailed information.
The maximum inlet purge gas pressure at the inlet valve must not exceed
6900 hPa (6,9 bar)!
Higher pressure may damage the analyzer enclosure in case of failure of
the inlet valve!
