The gas sampling unit consists of filter housing, gas sampling tube, weatherproof enclo‐
sure and optional pre-filter.
Application area
The gas sampling unit SFU is used for flue gas extraction and filtering for analysis in a
measuring system.
The flue gas is taken via a gas sampling tube and fed to a measuring system after filtra‐
tion.
The gas sampling tube is optionally available in various lengths.
As an option, the gas sampling tube contains a pre-filter at the probe tip.
For maritime applications, unheated gas sampling tubes without pre-filters are used.
Measuring system
The gas sampling unit is operated on a SICK measuring system. Thus, only this operat‐
ing mode is described in this Manual.
Applications with customer-owned peripheral devices are not planned.

dling of sample gas.
In addition to these Operating Instructions, observe all local laws, technical rules,
b
and company-internal instructions valid at the site where the SFU is installed.
Operate the SFU only in rooms with adequate installation OR install suitable gas
b
monitoring equipment.

4.4.1Installing the welding neck flange
WARNING
Risk of burns by hot flanges.
The flanges can reach high temperatures.
Before starting any work on the flanges, allow the flanges to cool down to body
b
temperature or wear appropriate protective gloves.
INSTALLATION AND START-UP 4
DANGER
Health risk through hot or toxic gases/dusts in the measuring duct
The measuring duct can contain hot or toxic gases or dust deposits which can escape
when opening the duct-side flange. Even if the measuring duct is out of operation dur‐
ing the installation, escaping gases can lead to severe damage to health.
Always put the measuring duct out of operation for the duration of the installation.
b
If required, purge the measuring duct with ambient air before starting installation
b
work.
During installation work, always wear protective clothing which is suitable or speci‐
b
fied by the operating company.
The operator is responsible for installing the welding neck flange.
The specifications of the flange connection are described in the System Documentation
delivered.

5.7Checking for correct operation
Check all fastening screws of the housing for tight seat.
•
Check the sample gas line for damage.
•
Check all hose fittings for tight seat.
•
Check gas sampling unit for cleanness, dryness and freedom from corrosion.
•
Check all electric connections for freedom from corrosion and tight seat.
•
Check grounding conductors are free from corrosion.
•
Perform a leak tightness check:
•
The leak tightness check is performed via the connected measuring system: See
