• 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.

PROJECT PLANNING INFORMATION
3.9.1CAN bus wiring
Standard cables
An installation location in the vicinity of the measuring point is generally selected for the
EvU so that the 4 m CAN bus cable delivered is sufficient for cabling without additional
installation effort. CAN bus extensions, ready for connection with plug-in connectors, are
also available in various lengths (
Installation away from the evaluation unit
A 6-pole terminal box can be supplied when the EvU is to be located some distance from
the SR-unit. This is then connected to the SR-unit using the 4 m CAN bus cable delivered
with the measuring system. A customer cable suitable for CAN bus applications, 6-pole
cable (twisted pair wires and shielded), then leads to the EvU. The total length of the CAN
bus connections, including the one to the reflector, may be up to 1000 meters. When
performing maintenance or service, it must be possible to deinstall the EvU temporarily
and connect it directly to the SR-unit at the measuring point.
Laying the cables
▸ Provide adequate cable lengths at the connection points.
▸ Whenever possible, do not lay power supply cables immediately next to signal cables.
▸ Protect open ends of preinstalled cables against weather effects until device
installation.
▸ Install separate power supply cables and circuit breakers for:
– GM35 SR-unit (via connection unit or terminal strip in control cabinet)
– Purge air units; additional motor circuit breakers and optional protective phase failure
switches.
– Evaluation unit
see “Connection cables”).
CAUTION: Risk of device damage due to switching off the voltage supply
unintentionally
The purge air supply may not be switched off while the measuring system is on
the gas duct.
▸ Attach clearly visible warnings against accidental switching-off to all
switching devices where the purge air supply can be switched off.
WARNING: Risk of fire due to hot gas escaping in installations with
overpressure conditions
On installations with overpressure, the purge air hose can be severely
damaged by escaping hot gas and can catch fire depending on the
temperature.
On plants with overpressure as well as gas temperatures over 200°C:
▸ Ensure reverse flow is prevented by fitting a (trip) flap or a valve.
▸ Regularly check the functionality of the reverse flow safeguard.
▸ Install easily accessible cable ducts or empty tubes for prefabricated cables or cables

safety regulations.
4.2.1Information on the SR-unit and measuring probe
The GM35 SR-unit and measuring probe are first fitted on the duct during start-up (
“Connecting the System Control Unit - SCU”) because these components first require an
adjustment away from the gas-carrying duct. To avoid problems during start-up, the SR-unit
and measuring probe must be stored in a dry place free from dust, preferably at room
temperature, until start-up.
CAUTION: Damage to the measuring system due to assembly of the SR-unit
and/or measuring probe before start-up
Unfavorable ambient conditions or atmosphere in the measuring duct can
damage the measuring system which prevents start-up. Apart from that, there
is a health risk when opening the duct depending on the pressure, gas
temperature and composition in the sample gas duct.
4.2.2Installing the purge air unit

7.1Preparations
7.1.1Required qualifications and further prerequisites
Previous training by SICK or a qualified sales partner is recommend for technicians and
engineers performing start-up. This training provides knowledge so that participants can
recognize and handle situations that demand measures going beyond the standard
procedures described here. Apart from the start-up itself, employees of SICK or trained
sales partners are also able to make recommendations for the actual measuring operation
as well as to define the maintenance interval based on the specific plant conditions.
Standard start-up
Each single measuring system is already configured to the individual application at the
factory and therefore the standard start-up procedure described in this Section can
however usually be performed by qualified engineers or measurement technicians without
requiring special training. Prerequisites are:
• Exact adherence to the application requirements specified in the order
• The possibility to consult a trained specialist of SICK or the respective sales partner
should special questions arise during start-up that go beyond the scope of the standard
procedures described here.
START-UP
7.1.2Start-up procedure overview
After the general preparations, primarily involving checking work already done, the SR-unit
with the measuring probe is now prepared for operation in an atmosphere free from
sample gas. This can be done either at the measuring point or another location, e.g. in a
closed room. At the measuring point itself, the purge air unit and SR-unit with measuring
probe are then put into operation in succession. Finally, the evaluation unit is switched on
and checked; the EvU parameters can then be set for individual demands.
7.2General preparation
Consult the relevant personnel and their logs, and check the site to make sure the work
described in the previous Sections has been carried out correctly and completely:
• Project Planning Information
• Initial onsite installation
• Installation of system components
Prerequisites for successful start-up:
• Installation conditions match the requirements for the measuring system (temperature,
pressure).
• Measuring point must be accessible without danger or problems.
• Flanges with tube are properly installed on the device and precisely aligned.
• All power supply and signal cables are installed and connected.
• The system, apart from the SR-unit, reflector and purge air fixtures which are attached to
the duct flanges later, must be fully installed and wired.
• The purge air supply must be ready to function.

WARNING: Avoid hazards through sample gases!
To avoid health hazards, the following work step may not be carried out during
the preparation described in this Section but first within the scope of the
respective descriptions in the following Sections.
– Connecting the power supply to the SR-unit
– Fitting an angle flange or the measuring probe on the sample gas duct
7.3.1Checking the scope of delivery
▸ Check the exterior of the SR-unit and measuring probe to ensure they are not damaged.
▸ Make sure the supply voltage on the type plate of the SR-unit complies with the plant
conditions.
▸ If a GPP measuring probe is to be used, also check the supply voltage specified on the
type plate of the measuring probe.
The supply voltage of the GM35 SR-unit and measuring probe can be changed between
115 V and 230 V on site by the SICK Service when necessary.
7.3.2Transport safety devices
▸ Remove the transport safety devices shown below as well as any protective stickers,
marked as such, depending on the device version.
▸ The front cover of the SR-unit is clamped between the flange fixture and enclosure. To
remove it, open the four quick-release fasteners and swivel the flange fixture up (see
Fig.). Keep the transport safety devices as required.

NOTICE: Do not use detergents because their residues, not visible to the naked
eye, will falsify measurement results. If necessary, use distilled water.
The measuring gap is aligned in
sample gas flow direction.
Mounting flange
For mounting on the duct-side flange
with tube already mounted in sample gas
flow direction during onsite preparations,
see page 36.
Device flange
The alignment of the device flange on
the SR-unit is determined by the three
holes and spacer bolts of the SR-unit.
The vertical axis of the SR-unit to the
device flange is shown by the broken
line in the Figure.
Fixing the device flange
The device flange can be rotated
steplessly against the measuring probe
by loosening the fixing screws.
Top
Bottom
The measuring gap must be aligned in gas flow direction so that the gas can flow through
unhindered. The SR-unit should normally be operated in a vertical position and, because
the alignment of the device flange to the SR-unit is fixed, the measuring probe must then
be aligned by rotating the device flange.
If the flow angle for the measuring system is already known at the factory on the basis of
the project planning data, the probe is usually aligned on delivery. However, alignment can
also be carried out onsite as described in the following.

Fig. 49: Measuring probe (e.g. GPP): Flange and angular alignment of the measuring gap
The SR-unit should be mounted vertically and therefore the alignment of the device flange
serves as reference for the vertical axis shown by the “top” and “bottom” points on
page 79. The angle of rotation of the probe against the vertical axis of the device flange is
equal to the angle of the gas flow direction against the vertical axis and, therefore, to the
alignment of the flange with tube on the duct side.
Changing the alignment of the measuring probe:
1 Using an Allen key, loosen the screws on the fixing ring that secures the device flange to
the measuring probe.
2 Turn the device flange so that the measuring gap is aligned against the vertical axis of
the SR-unit (

7.4.1Installing the SR-unit on the measuring probe
The measuring probe can be fitted on the SR-unit already installed. To ease handling and
to avoid unnecessary mechanical stress on the SR-unit, the flange fixture can be removed
beforehand and the measuring probe installed on it separately.
Removing the flange fixture (optional)
1 If the flange fixture is no longer swiveled open from the previous work steps:
▸ Loosen the 4 quick-release fasteners on the SR-unit enclosure.
▸ Swivel the flange fixture out.
2 Pull the hinge bolt on the left of the enclosure upwards out of the hinge and remove the
flange fixture.
3 Fit the measuring probe on the flange fixture just removed as described in the following.
Installing the measuring probe
The installation procedure is identical for all measuring probe versions. The fixing parts are
supplied with the GM35 measuring system.

7.5Adjustment work
7.5.1Prerequisites and location selection for adjustment work
The GM35 must always be adjusted in an atmosphere free from sample gas and dust, i.e.
before being installed. The only exception to this are newly assembled installation
environments that have not been put into operation yet, whereby it can be ensured that the
sample gas duct remains flooded with ambient air free from sample gas and dust while the
work described below is being carried out. In this case, a flange with tube already mounted
on the sample gas duct (which has not been used yet) can serve as a bracket during
adjustments, whereby the prerequisites in the following apply for an adjustment at the
measuring point.
Note Adjustment or calibration with test gases using a GPP measuring probe is a special case;
see page 119.
Otherwise, the following options are available:
Adjustment at the measuring point
The following requirements must be fulfilled:
– Dry ambient atmosphere free from sample gas and dust
– The power supply for the GM35 measuring system is already installed and available
– Suitable bracket, to which the measuring probe with attached SR-unit can be secured
horizontally outside the sample gas duct. Sufficient ground clearance must be provided
on the underside of the SR-unit for the plug-in connectors.
WARNING: Health risks during the installation of the angle flange
The following risks can occur on the duct-side flange with tube during
installation of the angle flange:
● Burns through
– escaping, hot or aggressive sample gases
–hot components
● Injuries of the skin and respiratory system due to toxic gases in the
measuring duct.
● Injuries due to overpressure in the sample gas duct.
▸ If necessary, use suitable protective equipment or a different bracket.
▸ Observe the detailed safety instructions,
and measuring probe on the duct”, page 89
If the angle flange cannot be used on the duct-side flange for safety or space (duct
insulation) reasons, it can be screwed or welded into position at a different fixing point
within range of the connection cables.
If the cable length is adequate and sufficient space is available, the SR-unit can also be
adjusted on the ground at the measuring point (see following Section).
Adjustment at a separate location
Alternatively, adjustment can be carried out at a different location away from the
measuring point, whereby the same basic requirements apply.
Adjustment can be carried out using a stable bracket together with the angle flange, or also
on the ground. The SR-unit can either be placed on the left side of the enclosure with the
measuring probe fitted (so that the right side with the visor points upwards), or, if the
SR-unit is arranged vertically, a secure support can be used to ensure the necessary
ground clearance for cable connections.
As already specified in Section “Project Planning Information”, an additional three-pole
cable with matching device connector, 2 017 519, is required for the power supply for the
SR-unit as well as the measuring probe when the probe is a GPP version. These cables are
connected to a suitable AC voltage supply with protective contact. A standard plug can be
easily attached to the open cable end in this case. If cables of this type are not available
(e.g. because adjustment was initially planned at the measuring point), the relevant cables
must be removed from the measuring point and reinstalled after
the adjustment has been carried out.
After adjustment, the SR-unit and measuring probe are transported to the measuring point
to start measuring operation.
Time required The adjustment procedure, including warming up time, lasts approx. 2.5 to 5 hours,
whereby the actual work usually requires less than 30 minutes, with the remaining time
required for the warm-up procedure. Other activities, such as start-up on the purge air
supply (see page 88), can be carried out at the measuring point during the warming up
time. Nevertheless, due to the long warming up time, it can be better to carry out the
adjustment at a different location when the measuring point is difficult to access.
Choosing the location Choose a suitable location to carry out the adjustment work based on the above
information and project planning data. Make sure the requirements listed above are
fulfilled at this location.
7.5.2Adjustment preparations
1 Once the measuring system, consisting of the SR-unit and measuring probe, has been
completely assembled, mount it on the bracket to be used for adjustment (e.g. on the
angle flange).
2 If the adjustment is to made on the ground, support the measuring system securely,
ensuring sufficient ground clearance for connecting the power supply cable on the
underside of the device (
enclosure. The right-hand side of the SR-unit with the visor must remain accessible in all
cases.
3 Connect the 4-pole round plug-in connector on the power supply cable provided for the
adjustment to the corresponding terminal on the underside of the SR-unit.Secure the
plug-in connector with the knurled ring.
4 Connect the 4-pole round plug-in connector of the signal cable for the evaluation unit to
the underside of the SR-unit.Secure the plug-in connector with the knurled ring.

7.5.3Aligning the optical axis of the measuring probe
To ensure correct measuring function, the optical axis of the measuring probe must be
aligned exactly to the light beam of the SR-unit. To do this, adjust the 2 screws on the
device flange,
see page 111 below.
2 options are available for checking the probe position in XY direction:
• On the visor on the right side of the SR-unit enclosure,
• On the EvU display after switching to Maintenance mode (maint) and calling up menu
ADJ. OPT ALIGN, see page 86.
This menu item must always be carried out when the “Automatic Alignment Control”
option is implemented in the GM35 SR-unit.
Checking on the visor
Check the alignment of the optical axis using the visor on the right-hand side of the SR-unit
enclosure and by making adjustments on the probe fixing on the device flange.
Visor The visor indicates the alignment of the optical axis between the SR-unit and the reflector
in the probe using a 5 x 5 LED matrix. The LEDs light up to represent the position of the
light beam on the reflector at the probe end. The cross hairs show three fields for aligning
the probe.
▸ Adjust the optical alignment as shown in
“Aligning the optical axis” by adjusting two
screws on the device flange with a 19 mm wrench whilst observing the light position of
the LED at the same time.
Horizontal probe adjustment causes the light spot to shift horizontally on the visor and
vertical adjustment causes a vertical shift. Alignment is correct when the lit LED is
located within the valid field within the cross hairs, or is completely within the inner ring
marking of the cross hairs.

Connecting the purge air supply to the SR-unit
1 Position the SR-unit with measuring probe in the immediate vicinity of the flange with
tube installed on the sample gas duct to connect the purge air hose, and to insert the
measuring system in the duct with the purge air supply running.
If the angle flange, Part No. 2 017 833, was used for adjustment, the measuring system
is usually already located directly at the duct-side flange.
2 Switch the power supply for the purge air unit on briefly to check the function and to
remove any dust that may have penetrated the purge air hose.
3 Connect the purge air hose from the purge air unit to the purge air connection of the
measuring probe using a hose clamp, or to the pressure controller when used (see
page 88).
4 Switch the purge air supply on.
Purge air supply is now activated and protects the measuring system against
contamination and overheating. Purge air supply must never be switched off while the
measuring probe is in the sample gas duct.
5 If not already done so, attach clearly visible warnings on all switch devices that can
switch off the purge air supply to prevent it from being deactivated inadvertently.
7.6.2GPP measuring probes: Power supply
If a GPP measuring probe is used, the optical interfaces must be heated to the necessary
operating temperature before the measuring probe is inserted in the duct:
1 Connect the GPP measuring probe to the power supply.
If the power supply cable of the measuring probe to be used for continuous measuring
operation cannot be connected until the measuring probe is inserted in the duct, or if it
cannot be switched on, use a temporary power supply cable similar to the one that may
have been used for the zero adjust (
2 Wait until the operating temperature of the optical interfaces in the measuring probe
has been reached.
3 Leave the power supply connected while inserting the measuring probe in the duct (
page 89) and while it is inside the duct.

7.6.3Installing the GM35 SR-unit and measuring probe on the duct
WARNING: Protection against hazards through hot resp. aggressive gases
▸ Wear suitable protective clothing (mask, gloves, working clothing and other)
to avoid health risks and other hazards when opening the sample gas duct.
If the protective clothing does not allow safe working on the open sample
gas duct under the current conditions or if the sample gas duct is in
operation and cannot be opened as this would allow gas to escape or air to
enter the duct:
Contact the persons responsible to have the sample gas duct shut down for
the duration of the installation procedure and, when possible, have the duct
flushed with ambient air to ensure safe installation.
▸ If present, remove the cover on the duct-side flange with tube.
▸ Insert the measuring probe with mounted SR-unit in the duct-side flange with tube. When
using a GMP measuring probe, the purge air supply must remain connected to the
measuring probe and in constant operation. The power supply to GPP measuring probes
for heating the optical interfaces must not be interrupted.
▸ Fit the measuring probe to the duct-side flange using the set of fixing parts delivered as
described on page 90. The set of fixing parts comprises 4 M16 x 60 screws, each with
nut and 2 washers.

8Test Gas Measurement with GPP Measuring Probes

96
The GPP measuring probe supports on-line gas tests. For this purpose, the GPP probe is
equipped with a gas connection for conducting test gas measurements. The second
connection can be used
to check pressure measurement, for sample extraction for comparison measurements, to
increase the test gas quantity for test purposes.
Feeding test or zero gas creates overpressure in the filter element. If the overpressure is
high enough, the entire sample gas is forced out of the filter element by a gas flow that is
formed in the opposite direction through the filter element. The flow within the filter element
must be greater than the diffusion rate of the gases to ensure the sample gas is forced out
of the filter element.
This method can be used for measuring the zero point with nitrogen or air, as well as for
measuring test points with the relevant gases and concentrations.

8.1One-off preliminary measurement/determining the settings
Every GPP is subject to certain fluctuations in production that cannot be compensated, or
only with extreme effort (e.g., porosity of the filter frit) and the filters can have different
lengths and different materials, so that ideal pressure parameters for test gas
measurement must be determined before the first measurement. The GPP remains
installed in the gas duct.
Preparations For zero gas, as above (e.g., N
1 Start manual test.
2 Set the pressure reducer to 0 bar, open the valve fully
3 Set the pressure to approx. 3 bar and observe the measured values and, if zero is not
reached after a certain period of time (30 s, depending on the T
analyzer), increase the pressure gradually until zero is reached.
4 When zero is reached reliably, reduce the pressure gradually, observe the measured
values, and when the values are higher than zero again, increase the pressure again by
approx. 0.5 bar.
5 Note the pressure on the pressure gauge display on the EvU, these values can be used
in future as default values for pressure values. The differential pressure is in the range
> 2 mbar < 30 mbar.

The following equipment must be available for the manual test method:
Equipment • Test gas cylinders (N
measuring range.
• Pressure gauge / pressure reducer.
• 1/4" supply line with Swagelok screw fitting.
Preparations • Fit pressure gauges/pressure reducers to the gas cylinders and secure the cylinders
against falling over.
• Connect the line between pressure reducer and test gas connection (1st connection) on
the GPP.
• Set the pressure gauge to the default pressure (see On-off preliminary measurement/
determining the settings).

The Gas Analyzer with Measuring Probe GM35 requires very little maintenance. This Section
describes regular maintenance work to be carried out on the GM35 measuring system.
Qualification Inspection and maintenance tasks described in this Section can be carried out by Service
technicians familiar with the device based on the information in these Operating
Instructions and having in-depth knowledge of the relevant safety regulations.
Maintenance intervals
Maintenance intervals depend on individual application conditions and should be clarified
with SICK Service resp. with a trained engineer or technician at the local sales partner.
If no other specifications have been made, the following recommendation is applicable:
• Maintenance interval – 6 weeks
Maintenance protocol
Recommendation Keep a log of maintenance work done. A simple notebook recording maintenance dates,
work done, special observations, and required consumables and spare parts is adequate.
9.1Safety
CAUTION: Important safety information for all service work
Always observe the following information when carrying out service work to
avoid injury or damage to the measuring system:
• Wear suitable protective clothing and a protective mask when the sample
gas is hot and/or aggressive or has a high dust load, or when the sample gas
duct is pressurized. Never open the enclosure or disengage the quickrelease fasteners without first taking suitable protective measures.
• If the conditions in the sample gas duct are particularly problematic and
hinder or prevent work on the open duct, despite the use of protective
equipment, the maintenance work must be carried out when the sample gas
duct is out of service or after it has been flooded with ambient air.
• The purge air supply must operate constantly, and the SR-unit must not be
opened or swiveled up as long as it is attached directly on the measuring
duct.
• If visual inspection of the power supply cable reveals damage to the
insulation or strain-relief clamp, switch off the power supply to the cable in
question immediately. The work must be performed in the specified
sequence, with the result that the measuring system must be removed
before the cables on the purge air unit are checked.

MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Health risk through contact with toxic gases
The device contains enclosed potentially dangerous gases that can escape
due to a defect or leak.
If a leak occurs, the concentrations inside the enclosed device can increase up
to the following concentration.
CO and N
Max. concentration inside the device with a leak (defect): 350 ppm
O: max. total volume 10 ml

▸ Check the condition of the seals on the equipment/module regularly.
▸ Only open the equipment when good ventilation is available, especially
when a leak of one of the equipment components is suspected.
WARNING: Hazard through overpressure in cavities!
With GPP probes, overpressure can arise in the reflector compartment or in the
gas lines, e.g., through deposits of penetrating liquid, when the probe comes
into contact with the hot sample gas. Open connections carefully, make visual
and continuity checks.
▸ Make regular visual and continuity checks of the cavities.
▸ At the same time, take all precautionary measures described in the
Operating Instructions when opening the connections.
