• Measuring probe
Measuring probes are available in open design versions with integrated purge air guidance
system (GMP) as well as versions with a gas-permeable diaphragm not requiring purge air
(GPP: G
as Permeable Probe). Both versions are described from page 14 onwards.
• Purge air unit
Provides purge air supply for the SR-unit with a GMP measuring probe (open design) and
protects against contamination and high gas temperatures. The blower types for the
SR-unit resp. reflector are designed differently depending on the application.
• Evaluation unit
The evaluation unit in the GM35 measuring systems serves as user interface and
prepares and outputs the measured values and performs control and monitoring
functions. The EvU can be installed near the SR-unit; if necessary, however, it can also
be installed up to 1000 m from the measuring point, e.g. in a central control/monitoring
room in an industrial plant.
The evaluation unit carries out the following tasks, for example:
– Output of measured values, computed data and operating states
– Communication with the peripheral equipment
– Output of error messages and other status signals

PRODUCT OVERVIEW
2.1.2.1Measuring probe in detail
EPA conformity When using a GPP probe, an audit measurement in compliance with EPA CFR 40 Part 60 or
Part 75 can be performed with the device mounted.
2.1.2.2GMP – probe with open measuring gap and vertical purge air outlet
Shortest response times and resistance against high temperatures characterize measuring
probes of the GMP series. A continuous purge air supply is required for operation. In the
current GMP probe series, the air is outlet into the duct at 90° to the gas flow (directed
purge air).
The GMP probe has a closing device towards the opening for sample gas and is operated
using the lever on the probe flange.
Fig. 2: GMP measuring probe (with open measuring gap)
GPP – gas diffusion probe as dry or wet version
These GPP probe versions are more suitable for higher dust contents than GMP probes
because the GMP probes separate dust particles at the filter element which keeps the dust
away from the measuring path. The GPP (G
as Permeable Probe) is also the best measuring
probe choice for audit measurements according to EPA specifications as well as for low
flow rates or irregular flow profiles.

Advantages of GPP
probes
GPP probes do not require a purge air supply and are easy to maintain. They are fitted with
an automatic heater for reliable prevention of condensate on the optical interfaces. The
electronic components for the heater regulator, and temperature and pressure
measurements, are located protected in a stable cast housing which forms the measuring
probe section between the duct flange and the SR-unit.
The Figure below shows this housing fitted with the electrical connections for the CAN bus
and power supply as well as the test gas connection which supports audit measurement
according to EPA Directive CFR 40, Part 60 or Part 75.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Special versions Apart from the standard probes shown above, other versions made from materials
especially resistant to acid are available (1.4539 and PVDF). Special versions can be
manufactured according to customer demands on request.
2.1.3GM35 options and accessories
• Automatic beam tracking
Ensures exact alignment of the measuring path to the probe (open and GPP version) under
difficult and changing measurement conditions, such as, for example, large temperature
fluctuations.
• CAN bus extension cable 15 m
A 15 m extension cable, ready for connection, is available when the evaluation unit is to be
installed more than 2 m away from the SR-unit.
• Terminal box for CAN bus
For even greater distances between SR-unit and EvU, an optional terminal box can be used
for the connection via the CAN bus cable provided by the customer. The total length of the
CAN bus connections in the GM35 measuring system can be up to 1000 m in this case.
However, the EvU is normally installed close to the SR-unit for easy operating at the
measuring point. Section
to use the terminal box.
• Angle flange for zero point measurement
Some adjustments must be made outside the duct in an atmosphere free from sample
gas. A suitable angle flange that can be screwed to the mounting flange is available to
enable carrying out these adjustments easily and directly at the measuring point. The duct
is sealed and the SR-unit with measuring probe is mounted in front of the duct opening, at
a right angle to the duct, using this bracket.
“Preparations for electrical installation”, page 30 describes how
• Weatherproof covers for SR-unit and purge air unit
Required for outdoor installation – dimension drawings,
see page 128.
• Line writer, single or multi-duct
For measured value recording. Protocol(s) can of course be produced using customer
systems.
• Air heater for purge air supply
For special application conditions to prevent condensate. An air heater is required when
the difference between gas temperature and dew point temperature is too low. The
following practical rule of thumb serves as guideline:
An air heater is required when :
Gas temperature [°C] – dew point temperature [°C] < abs. humidity [%]

2.2.1Opto-electronic in-situ measuring principle
The Gas Analyzer with Measuring Probe GM35 is based on in-situ technology with optoelectronic direct measurement. Measured values are recorded through no-contact
measurement directly in the gas flow across the entire duct cross-section (cross-duct). The
GM35 SR-unit determines the concentration of the respective gas component based on
wavelength-specific light absorption by the gas mixture in the active measuring path.
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Fig. 5: Optics layout of the GM35
The beam from the sender/receiver unit (SR-unit) passes lengthwise through the active
measuring path (
see page 26) and is reflected by the reflector at the other end. The
reflected light from the beam splitter then passes through a filter or cell wheel to detectors

Fig. 6: Evaluation of absorption spectrums for sample gases with the GM35
To ensure a consistently high level of measuring precision, the GM35 SR-unit performs a
regular automatic check cycle in an adjustable interval (standard: Every 2 hours). In this
check cycle, the zero point is first determined by swiveling a zero point reflector into the
beam path. Reference filters are then moved into position to control the check point. The
spectral properties of the device are checked using a test gas cell. If a check cycle reveals
that the system is not functioning in accordance with the operation specifications, the
GM35 measuring system outputs appropriate error or warning messages.

Special versions can be manufactured on request. Onsite flanges, including ANSI
flanges, can also be used.
• Reinforcement with junction plates recommended
Due to the weight of the GM35 sender/receiver unit, it is recommended to reinforce the
flange tube onsite with junction plates.

• Using the angle flange for zero point measurement
To use the angle flange (Part No. 2 017 833) for zero point measurement, make sure the
SR-unit with mounted measuring probe can be attached without hindrance to the duct
using the angle flange. Avoid obstacles in the vicinity of the flange with tube, such as, for
example, protruding duct insulation. A longer flange with tube or an angle flange with
spacer (to be provided by the customer) may be required to ensure the distance from the
duct wall is sufficient.
3.3.3.1Installation steps: Fitting the flange with tube
1 For brick/concrete ducts: Cut the duct opening approx. 2 cm larger than the flange tube
outer diameter.
2 Cut an opening matching the outer flange tube diameter (standard Ø
the duct wall resp. retainer plate.
3 Position the flange tube so that the marking points exactly in gas flow direction
(compare

PROJECT PLANNING INFORMATION
Is a purge air unit to
be used?
This step is only relevant for device configurations containing a purge air unit. GM35
configurations with GPP measuring probes do not require purge air.
1 Make brackets from steel pipes (e.g. 50 x 5) with flanges (e.g. FL 60 x 8 x 60) for the
four fixing points of the purge air unit ; bore M10 threads in the mounting holes.
2 Weld the brackets on as shown when using steel ducts.
For stone stacks, fit retainer plates to each steel pipe or use a different, suitable mounting
for the purge air unit.
3.3.5Duct insulation
3
Fitting recommendation for purge air units (duct diameter not representative)
▸ Refit the thermal duct insulation; reinforce the insulation when necessary.
CAUTION: Device failure due to high ambient temperatures
The SR-unit of the GM35 is designed for a maximum ambient temperature of
+55 °C. Radiant heat on the enclosure surface can, under certain
circumstances, lead to temperatures higher than the measured air
temperature.
▸ Therefore, design insulation and radiation shielding so that temperature
limits are reliably maintained.

3.3.6Installation preparation for the evaluation unit
Requirements The installation location for the evaluation unit was determined during project planning.
The maximum total cable length of all CAN bus connections in the GM35 measuring
system of 1000 m was taken into account, bearing in mind that the closer the device is to
the measuring point, the easier it is to use.
Installation location preparation
The evaluation unit is fitted with clips which enable it to be mounted easily using 4 screws,
even on an uneven surface.
▸ Based on the dimension drawing of the EvU according to
space is available at the planned installation location to fit and wire the EvU as well as to
pivot the enclosure door.
▸ Drill suitable openings as assembly points as required.
3.4Preparations for electrical installation
The onsite supply and signal cables are laid beforehand to facilitate subsequent
installation and start-up of the GM35 system components. Suitable cable ducts or
conduits are installed for the prefabricated cables and delivered with the GM35 system
(marked with * in
“Cable routing diagram”).
