Opening the Covers removed, even if this can be done without tools. Current can be present at some
connection points.
Risks Involved in The gas analyzer must be disconnected from all power sources before being
Working with an opened for any work. All work on a gas analyzer that is open and connected to
Open Gas Analyzer power should only be performed by trained personnel who are familiar with the
risks involved.
Charged Capacitors The capacitors in the gas analyzer power supply discharge after 10 minutes when
the gas analyzer is disconnected from all power sources.
Use of Proper Fuses Only fuses of the specified type and rated current should be used as replacements.
Never use patched fuses. Do not short-circuit the fuse holder contacts.
When Safe Operation If it is apparent that safe operation is no longer possible, the gas analyzer should
can no Longer be be taken out of operation and secured against unauthorized use.
Assured
The possibility of safe operation is excluded:
• If the gas analyzer is visibly damaged
• If the gas analyzer no longer operates
• After prolonged storage under adverse conditions
• After severe transport stresses
Unpacking, Transport A system housing with an electronics module and an analyzer module weighs from
and Installation 18 to 23 kg (40 to 50 pounds). Two persons are needed for unpacking, carrying and
installation.
The location must be capable of supporting the gas analyzer’s weight. The 19-inch
housing must be supported with rails in the bay or rack.
Neither the 19-inch nor the wall-mount housings use hinges to secure the housing
cover. The cover can drop when opened.
Gas Lines and The fittings must be clean and free of residue. Contaminants can enter the analyzer
Gas Connections and damage it or lead to false measurement results.
Do not use sealing compounds to seal the gas connections. Sealing compound
components can lead to false measurement results.
The sample and reference gas connection ports on the Caldos15 flowing reference
gas version are made of plastic (PVC-C). Do not use metal tubing connectors or
threaded connectors.
Seal Integrity Test If the seal integrity test is to be carried out with air and there is the possibility of a
combustible gas being present in the gas paths or if a combustible gas is to be
introduced later, the gas paths should first be purged with nitrogen. Otherwise the
seal integrity test can be performed with nitrogen.
Housing Purge For joint purging of the analyzer and central unit, the purge gas must first be routed
through the central unit and then through the analyzer. Flow direction inversion and
leaks in the sample gas path can result in damage to electronics by corrosive
sample gas components. An analyzer module used to measure corrosive sample
gas components should be the last unit connected in a series.
Purge gas can escape from the housing if there are any leak points. When using
nitrogen as the purge gas, take all required precautions against suffocation.
Purge gas flow must always be restricted ahead of the purge gas inlet! If the purge
gas flow is restricted after the purge gas outlet, the housing seals are subjected to
full purge gas pressure which can result in damage to the keypad!
Electrical Line Follow all applicable national safety regulations for the preparation and operation
Connection of electrical devices as well as the following safety precautions.
Only one analyzer module should be supplied with 24 VDC from the central unit
power supply. A separate 24-VDC supply is required for additional analyzer
modules.
Never connect line voltage (115 VAC or 230 VAC) to a 24-VDC analyzer module
input. This will destroy the analyzer module electronics.
Install a breaker near the gas analyzer in order to completely disconnect it from the
power supply. Mark the breaker so that its relationship to the protected device is
clear.
Basic Steps The following basic steps should be followed when installing and starting up the
gas analyzer.
Short Gas Paths Install the gas analyzer as close as possible to the sampling location.
Locate the gas preparation and calibration assemblies as close as possible to the
gas analyzer.
Adequate Air Provide for adequate natural air circulation around the gas analyzer. Avoid heat
Circulation buildup.
When installing several system housings in a 19-inch rack, maintain a minimum
spacing of 1 rack unit between housings.
The entire surface of the system housing is used to dissipate heat.
Vibrations If the gas analyzer is installed in a cabinet the maximum acceleration amplitude is
0.01 ms–2 in a frequency range of 0.1 to 200 Hz.
If the gas analyzer is not installed in a cabinet the following data for the individual
analyzer modules apply.
1) The sample gas dew point should be at least 5°C below the ambient
temperature throughout the sample gas path. Otherwise a sample gas
cooler or condensate trap is required. Water vapor can result in cross
sensitivity.
2) When there is a direct sample chamber connection the maximum sample
gas dew point is 55°C. Water vapor can result in cross sensitivity.
3) pe = pabs – pamb where
pe = positive pressure, pabs = absolute pressure, pamb = atmospheric pressure
4) For option T90 < 6 sec
5) Abrupt changes in gas flow rates should be avoided when using highly
suppressed measurement ranges.
6) Pressure resistance of the analyzer pe ≤ 1000 hPa (1 bar)
7) Pressure resistance of the analyzer pe ≤ 400 hPa (0.4 bar)
Note: Sample gas temperature, pressure and flow rate should be maintained
constant to such a degree that the fluctuation influence on the accuracy of
measurement is acceptable.
Gas Outlet Conditions The outlet pressure should be equal to atmospheric pressure.
Flammable, Corrosive A housing purge is required if the sample gas contains flammable, corrosive or
or Toxic Gases toxic components (see “Housing Purge” section, page 28).
Please observe additionally the following application restrictions and notes:
Test Gas Dew Point The test gas dew point must be nearly identical to the sample gas dew point.
Purge Gas Flow Rate The purge gas flow and the duration of the purge process depend on the volume
during Initial Purge to be purged (see the following table). If the purge gas flow rate is lower than
indicated the duration of the process must be increased correspondingly.
Purge Gas Flow Rate Purge gas flow rate at device inlet max. 20 l/h (constant)
during Operation Purge gas positive pressure pe = 2 to 4 hPa
• Because of leakage losses the purge gas flow rate at the device output is
approx. 5 to 10 l/h for a purge gas flow rate at the device inlet of 20 l/h.
• Notes for selection and use of flow meters:
• Measuring range 7 to 70 l/h
• Pressure drop < 4 hPa
• Needle valve open
• Recommendation: Flow meter 7 to 70 l/h, Catalog No. 23151-5-8018474
CAUTION!
Purge gas can escape from the housing if there are any leak points. When
using nitrogen as the purge gas, take all required precautions against
suffocation.
CAUTION!
Purge gas flow must always be restricted upstream of the purge gas inlet!
If the purge gas flow is restricted after the purge gas outlet, the housing
seals are subjected to full purge gas pressure which can result in damage
to the keypad!
Gas Analyzer There is a power supply in the gas analyzer’s central unit. It requires an input
Power Supply voltage of 115 VAC or 230 VAC and provides an output voltage of 24 VDC to
power the electronics module and one analyzer module.
CAUTION!
Only one analyzer module should be supplied with 24 VDC from the central
unit power supply. A separate 24-VDC supply is required for additional
analyzer modules.

Gas Connections • Threaded connections with 1/8 NPT threads and PTFE sealing tape.
Flow Meter • In the Caldos15 and Uras14 versions with flowing reference gas a flow meter
with a needle valve must be installed in the sample gas line and in the reference
gas line in order to adjust the flow rate in the two lines to the optimum value.
Wall-mount housing:
• 4 M8 or M10 bolts.
Signal Lines • Selection of the required conductors depends on line length and planned current
load.
• Maximum conductor section 1.5 mm2 (16 AWG) for I/O board connection
• Notes regarding conductor section for I/O module connection:
• The maximum capacity of terminals for stranded or solid conductors is 1 mm2
(17 AWG).
• The stranded conductor may be tinned on the tip or twisted for simplified
connection.
• When using wire end ferrules the total section should not exceed 1 mm2,
i.e. the maximum stranded conductor section is 0.5 mm2. The Weidmüller
PZ 6/5 crimping tool must be used for crimping the ferrules.
• Maximum line length 1200 meters (3940 feet, transmission rate max. 19200 bit/s)
for RS485.
• Maximum line length 15 meters (50 feet) for RS232.
Power supply:
• If two analyzer modules are installed in the system housing, a power supply
outside the system housing must be provided. This power supply must equal
the rating of the AO2000 power supply (see page 17).
Power Supply Line • If the power cord supplied is not used, make your selection of a suitable cable
based on line length and planned current load.
• Provide a breaker in the power supply line or a switched receptacle to make
sure the gas analyzer can be completely separated from the power source.
CAUTION!
The gas analyzer can weigh from 18 to 23 kg (40 to 50 pounds).
Two persons are needed for unpacking and carrying.
• Make sure that none of the enclosed accessories are lost during unpacking (see
“Scope of Delivery” section, page 18).
• Keep the shipping box and packaging material for future shipping needs.
Since the gas ports are now easily accessible, connect the gas lines to the
analyzer module before the gas analyzer is installed.
Gas Port Design The analyzer module gas ports have 1/8-NPT internal threads (connection diagrams
see pages 25 to 27).
CAUTION!
The fittings must be clean and free of residue. Contaminants can enter the
analyzer and damage it or lead to false measurement results.
Do not use sealing compounds to seal the gas connections. Sealing
compound components can lead to false measurement results.
The sample and reference gas connection ports on the Caldos15 flowing
reference gas version are made of plastic (PVC-C). Do not use metal tubing
connectors or threaded connectors.
Gas Path Seal The sample gas and reference gas (if applicable) path seal integrity is checked in
Integrity Verification the factory. Since the gas path seal integrity can be affected during shipping, this
check should be performed at the installation site (see page 22 for instructions).
Since the system housing has to be opened if a leak is found, the gas path seal
integrity should be checked before the gas analyzer is installed.
When should gas Gas path seal integrity should be checked periodically. It must be verified after the
path seal integrity be gas paths inside or outside the gas analyzer have been opened (e.g. after
checked? removing or installing an analyzer module).
What materials are 1 pressure gauge, 1 plastic tubing, approx. 1 m (3 feet) in length, 1 tee with shut-off
needed? valve, air or nitrogen
CAUTION!
If the seal test is to be carried out with air and there is the possibility of a
combustible gas being present in the gas paths or if a combustible gas is to
be introduced later, the gas paths should first be purged with nitrogen.
Otherwise the seal integrity test can be performed with nitrogen.
The following instructions apply to all gas paths in the gas analyzer, therefore to all
sample gas paths and – in the Caldos15 and Uras14 analyzer modules – to the
reference gas path.

CAUTION!
A system housing with an electronics module and an analyzer module
weighs from 18 to 23 kg (40 to 50 pounds). The following points should be
observed:
• Two persons are needed for installation.
• The location (e.g. bay, 19-inch rack, wall) must be capable of supporting the
gas analyzer’s weight.
• The 19-inch housing must be supported with rails in the bay or rack.
• Neither the 19-inch nor the wall-mount housings use hinges to secure the
housing cover. The cover can drop when opened.
Installation Install the system housing in the cabinet/shelf or on the wall with the required
fasteners (see page 23 for dimensional diagrams).
Uras14 with or without gas module, sample cells in series, internal gas
connections with plastic tubing
Limas11 with or without gas module, internal gas connections with plastic
tubing or pipes
When should the A housing purge is required if the sample gas contains combustible, corrosive or
housing be purged? toxic components.
Housing Design A housing purge is possible if the system housing is designed for IP 54 (with
connection box) or IP 65 (without power supply) protection. The purge gas
connection ports (1/8-NPT internal threads) are factory installed per order.
Housing Purge In gas analyzers with the Caldos15, Caldos17, Magnos106 and Magnos17 analyzer
modules there is a gas-tight separation between the central unit and analyzer.
Therefore, the central unit and analyzer can be purged separately (parallel) or
jointly (series).
In gas analyzers with the Limas11 and Uras14 analyzer modules there is no gas-
tight separation of the central unit and analyzer. Therefore, they can only be
purged together. If the central unit and analyzer must be purged separately, the
analyzer module must be installed in a separate IP-54 system housing.
In gas analyzers in category 3G version for measurement of flammable and non-
flammable gases (“safety concept”) the housing should not be purged in series
with the analyzer (measurement cell windows, thermostat chamber). A separate
purge gas path must be provided for the analyzer purge.
CAUTION!
For joint purging of the analyzer and central unit, the purge gas must first be
routed through the central unit and then through the analyzer. Flow direction
inversion and leaks in the sample gas path can result in damage to
electronics by corrosive sample gas components.
An analyzer module used to measure corrosive sample gas components
should be the last unit connected in a series.
Central Unit A central unit with no analyzer module installed can be ordered as a “housing
Housing Purge purge” version. In this case the purge gas connection ports are factory installed in
the terminator plate which installed at the back or bottom of the system housing
instead of an analyzer module.
Purge Gas Supply Nitrogen or instrument air should be used as purge gas (refer to the “Purge Gas
Requirements for Housing Purge” section, page 16, for detailed information).
CAUTION!
Purge gas can escape from the housing if there are any leak points.
When using nitrogen as the purge gas, take all required precautions against
suffocation.
Purge gas flow must always be restricted ahead of the purge gas inlet!
If the purge gas flow is restricted after the purge gas outlet, the housing
seals are subjected to full purge gas pressure which can result in damage
to the keypad!
Notes for Proper • Remove the yellow plug from the pressure sensor port before start-up of the
Pressure Sensor analyzer module.
Operation
• For a precise pressure correction, the pressure sensor port must be connected
to the sample gas outlet via a tee and short lines. To reduce the flow effect, the
lines must be kept as short as possible or, if longer lines are necessary, the inner
diameter must be sufficiently large (≥ 10 mm).
• If the pressure sensor is connected to the sample gas path, the sample gas
must not contain corrosive components nor may it be flammable or at risk of
explosion.
• If the pressure sensor port is not connected to the sample gas outlet, precise
pressure correction can only take place if the pressure sensor and the sample
gas outlet are on the same pressure level.
• Magnos106: For measurements in suppressed measurement ranges, the
pressure sensor port and the sample gas outlet must be connected via a tee and
short lines. Please observe that the exhaust line is kept as short as possible or, if
longer lines are necessary, that the inner diameter is sufficiently large (≥ 10 mm).
CAUTION!
The lines and fittings must be free of any residues (e.g. particles left over
from manufacturing). Contaminants can enter the analyzer and damage it or
lead to false measurement results.
Gas Line Connection Connect the gas lines – made of a material appropriate for the measurement task –
to the installed gas ports.
Purge Gas Line Connection of the purge gas lines for the various device configurations is
Connection described in Chapter 3 of the comprehensive operator’s manual.
Evacuate Exhaust gases should be routed to the atmosphere or to an exhaust pipe directly
Exhaust Gases or via the shortest possible large-diameter line. Do not route exhaust gases via
flow reducers or shutoff valves.
Process corrosive, toxic or combustible exhaust gases in an appropriate manner.
Provide for Gas Line Install a shutoff valve in each gas inlet line (this is definitely recommended for
System Flushing pressurized gases) and provide a means of flushing the gas line system via the
sampling port with an inert gas, e.g. nitrogen.
Flow Meter In the Caldos15 and Uras14 versions with flowing reference gas a flow meter with
Installation in the a needle valve must be installed in the sample gas line and in the reference gas
Reference Gas Line line in order to adjust the flow rate in the two lines to the optimum value.

Protective Cap A protective cap is factory-installed on the rear of the electronics module when the
Limas11 analyzer module in the version with class 2 NO measuring ranges is
installed in the central unit.
It is imperative to re-install the protective cap after connection of the electrical
lines! Otherwise light penetration during operation may lead to erroneous measure-
ment values and measurement range overflows.
Mark the cables or the connector housings of the I/O boards so that their respec-
tive relationship to the I/O board is clear.
CAUTION!
Follow all applicable national safety regulations for the preparation and
operation of electrical devices as well as the following safety precautions.
The gas analyzer voltage must be set to match the line voltage before the
power supply is connected.
The protective lead should be attached to the protective lead connector
before any other connection is made. The protective lead connection is
assured when the power cable supplied is used.
The gas analyzer can be hazardous if the protective lead is interrupted inside
or outside the gas analyzer or if the protective lead is disconnected.
Only fuses of the specified type and rated current should be used as
replacements. Never use patched fuses. Do not short-circuit the fuse holder
contacts.
If the power supply fuse fails, some power supply switch components can
still carry current.
Never connect line voltage (115 VAC or 230 VAC) to a 24-VDC analyzer
module input. This will destroy the analyzer module electronics.
Install a breaker near the gas analyzer in order to completely disconnect it
from the power supply. Mark the breaker so that its relationship to the
protected device is clear.
24-VDC Connecting If an analyzer module is not installed in the central unit but in a separate system
Cable housing a 5-meter (16.4-feet) long cable (2 x 0.5 mm2, see Figure 23) will be
supplied.
The receptacle on one cable end is designed to connect to the 24-VDC male plug
on the analyzer module or the I/O base module (see Figure 24).
The wires on the free end of the connecting cable are intended for connection to
• The power supply filter -Z01 in the central unit (for an example see Figure 25) or
• An external power supply

Connection Cable length of 5 meters (16.4 feet).
Note the following conditions if the connection cable has to be extended:
• The extension cable must have a wire section of at least 2.5 mm2.
• The extension cable should be no more than 30 meters (98 ft) long.
• The extension cable should be connected as close as possible to the receptacle
of the supplied 24-VDC connection cable, i.e. the supplied 24-VDC connection
cable should be made as short as possible.
What materials are The gas analyzer is supplied with a power cord and a separate two-prong
needed? grounded plug. The power cord is 5 meters (16.4 feet) long and has a three-prong
grounded-instrument plug for connection to the power supply.
If the power cord supplied is not used, make your selection of a suitable cable
based on line length and planned current load.

Installation Check
Installation Check Make sure the gas analyzer is correctly installed before carrying out any start-up
procedures.
Use the following check list:
Check
• Is the gas analyzer securely fastened?
(See “Gas Analyzer Installation” section, page 24)
• Are all gas lines correctly connected?
(See Chapter 3 “Gas Line Connection”, page 25)
• Are all signal, control, interface, power supply and (if applicable) system
bus lines correctly placed and connected?
(See Chapter 4 “Electrical Connection”, page 31)
• Are all devices needed for gas preparation, calibration and exhaust
processing correctly connected and ready for use?
Take note of the instructions in the “Housing Purge” section, page 28.
Purge Prior to The gas paths and if necessary, the system housing should be purged prior to
Start-Up starting the gas analyzer.
First this ensures that the gas paths and system housing are free from contami-
nants (e.g. corrosive gases) and dirt on start-up.
Second this prevents the possibility of an explosive gas/air mixture being present
in the gas paths or system housing when the power supply is connected.
Purge Gas Supply Nitrogen or instrument air should be used as purge gas (refer to the “Purge Gas
Requirements for Housing Purge” section, page 16, for detailed information).
Purge Gas Flow and The purge gas flow and the duration of the purge process depend on the volume
Duration of Purge to be purged (see the following table). If the purge gas flow rate is lower than
Process indicated the duration of the process must be increased correspondingly.
The purge gas flow rates given in the table only apply to the initial purge. During
operation other values apply (see “Operation” section, page 52).
CAUTION!
Purge gas can escape from the housing if there are any leak points. When
using nitrogen as the purge gas, take all required precautions against
suffocation.
CAUTION!
Purge gas flow must always be restricted upstream of the purge gas inlet! If
the purge gas flow is restricted after the purge gas outlet, the housing seals
are subjected to full purge gas pressure which can result in damage to the
keypad!
CAUTION!
Before activating the power supply check once again that the gas analyzer
operating voltage setting matches the line voltage.
The sample gas supply should be turned on only at the end of the warm-up phase
and after calibration.
Function Check The following events will occur after the power supply is turned on:
Phase Description
1 The three “Power”, “Maint” and “Error” LEDs light up.
2 The different booting phases are displayed on the screen.
Also the software version is displayed.
3 After a brief time the screen switches to measurement mode.
STATUS
4 The MESSAGE softkey appears on the screen. This indicates the possibility
of a temperature or flow problem during the warm-up phase. By
pressing the softkey the user can recall the status message summary
and view status message details.
Date and Time Check A correct date and time setting is required for proper operation of functions such
as automatic calibration and time/ date logging of error messages.
Step Action
1 Select the Date/time menu item:
MENU → Configure → System → Date/Time
2 Check and, if necessary, correct the date and time.
Warm-Up Phase The duration of the warm-up phase depends on which analyzer module is installed
in the gas analyzer.
1) See “AO2000 Series” Data Sheet (publication number 10/24-1.10 EN) for
class details.
• The warm-up phase can take longer if the gas analyzer was not brought to room
temperature before the power supply was activated.
• During the warm-up phase measurement values can be outside the ranges
specified in the data sheet.
Warm-Up Phase The warm-up phase is over when the measured value drift indication is accept-
Duration able. This depends on the size of the measurement range.
Readiness At the end of the warm-up phase the gas analyzer is ready to carry out measure-
ments.
Calibration The gas analyzer is calibrated in the factory. Transport stresses as well as pressure
Verification and temperature conditions at the installation location may however influence the
calibration. Thus it is recommended to verify the gas analyzer calibration at the
installation location.
Chapter 7 describes the gas analyzer calibration procedures.
Sample Gas Supply The sample gas supply should be turned on only after calibration.
Adjusting Reference In the Caldos15 and Uras14 analyzer module versions with flowing reference gas,
Gas Flow Rate the reference gas flow rates must be set to the same value as the sample gas flow
rate.
For special applications of the Caldos15 the reference gas flow rate must be set to
lower values down to 1 l/h.
Adjusting Purge Gas The purge gas flow should be set as follows in gas analyzers with the housing
Flow Rate purge capability:
Purge gas flow rate at device inlet max. 20 l/h (constant),
Purge gas positive pressure pe = 2 to 4 hPa
• Because of leakage losses the purge gas flow rate at the device output is
approx. 5 to 10 l/h for a purge gas flow rate at the device inlet of 20 l/h.
• Notes for selection and use of flow meters:
• Measuring range 7 to 70 l/h
• Pressure drop < 4 hPa
• Needle valve open
• Recommendation: Flow meter 7 to 70 l/h, Catalog No. 23151-5-8018474

Manual Calibration
Test Gas Supply The test gas supply can be started by activating a multiple path valve.
If the analyzer module is assigned to a gas module and the gas module is fitted
with a single solenoid valve to control the test gas supply (see Figure 28), the zero
gas and span gas must be fed to the zero gas inlet (NG). This also applies if an
external solenoid valve is used and controlled via a digital output.
The pump status (on /off during manual calibration) matches the setting for
automatic calibration.
Analyzer Modules with In analyzer modules with several detectors (e.g. the Uras14) each detector should
Multiple Detectors be calibrated sequentially.
Air Pressure Effect If the gas analyzer does not have a pressure sensor for air pressure correction, the
air pressure value should be checked and reset as required prior to calibrating the
analyzer module:
• If the gas analyzer’s operating site height has been changed since the last
calibration
• If the air pressure effect on the measured value is too high.
1) The initialized test gas concentration is shown as the set point. By changing the
set point in this step the initialized test gas concentration will be overwritten.
2) It may be necessary to repeat calibration if the measurement value is still not
stable after calibration has been started. The subsequent process is based on
the measurement value obtained in the previous calibration.
Test Gas Supply The test gas supply can be started automatically by means of the gas module’s
solenoid valves or via external solenoid valves.
Analyzer Modules with In analyzer modules with several detectors (e.g. the Uras14) all detectors are
Multiple Detectors calibrated simultaneously.
Start Normally automatic calibration is started on a time interval basis by the internal
clock.
Step Action
1 Select the Automatic Calibration menu:
MENU → Calibrate → Automatic calibration
2 Only zero calibration: ZERO AUTOCAL
Only span calibration: SPAN AUTOCAL
Common zero and span calibration: ZERO & SPAN AUTOCAL
Manual Stop of the The user can end the automatic calibration process by pressing the STOP softkey.
Automatic Calibration
When automatic calibration is stopped, the analyzer module is in an indefinite
state. For instance, it is possible for zero calibration to be finalized while span
calibration has not yet been started.
For this reason, automatic calibration will have to be restarted and allowed to run
to completion after any cancellation of automatic calibration.

Safety Information
WARNING!
The introduction of flammable and explosive gas mixtures into the analyzer
module is not permissible.
The presence of corrosive gases and catalyst poisons, e.g. halogens,
sulfurous gases and heavy-metal dusts, results in faster aging and/or the
destruction of the measuring cell.
The ingress of liquids into the analyzer module can lead to serious damage
including the destruction of the measuring cell.
After disconnection of the power supply, the case of the measuring cell has
an excess temperature of approx. 60 °C, which decreases only slowly.
Intended Application The trace oxygen analyzer module ZO23 is intended for the continuous measure-
ment of the oxygen concentration in pure gases (N2, Ar).
Ambient Temperature +5 to +45 °C with installation in a system housing with an electronics module
Heat Sources and No heat sources or instruments which generate strong magnetic fields (e.g. elec-
Magnetic Fields tric motors or transformers) may be located in the proximity of the installation site.
Sample Gas Changes in the sample gas flow rate should be avoided. If the internal sample gas
Flow Rate pump is used, the flow is regulated at 8 ± 0.2 l/h.
If the sample gas flow rate is too low, contaminants from the gas lines (leaks,
permeabilities, desorptions) will adversely affect the measuring result.
If the sample gas flow rate is too high, asymmetrical cooling of the sensor may
cause measuring errors. This can also cause faster aging or damage to the
measuring cell.
Flammable and The introduction of flammable and explosive gas mixtures is not permissible.
Corrosive Gases
The presence of corrosive gases and catalyst poisons, e.g. halogens, sulfurous
gases and heavy-metal dusts, results in faster aging and/or the destruction of the
measuring cell.
Please refer to the “Information for the Installation and Sample Conditioning” (see
page 74).
Test Gases
Measurement The ZrO2 cell measures the difference in the oxygen concentration between the
Principle reference side (with air) and the measuring side (with oxygen traces).
Test Gases Reference point Clean ambient air; its oxygen concentration is established
(= electrical zero): from the value for dry air and the factor for consideration of
the water vapor content
Example:
Water vapor content at 25 °C and 50 % relative humidity
= 1.56 % Vol. O2 ⇒ Factor 0.98
Oxygen concentration 20.93 % Vol. O2 × 0.98 = 20.6 % Vol. O2
End-point: Test gas with oxygen concentration in the smallest measuring
range (e.g. 2 ppm O2 in N2)

The following notes for installation and sample conditioning must be observed for
measurement and when controlled calibrations (manual, automatic and externally
controlled) are performed. When necessary, manually operated cocks and valves
must be replaced by controllable valves suitable for trace oxygen measurement.
Gas Sampling The nominal diameter of the line from the sampling point to the first switch-over
valve should be 4 mm.
A bypass can be placed upstream of the first switch-over valve to obtain a faster
analysis. With a nominal diameter of 4 mm, the bypass should be longer than 3 m
to prevent back diffusion from the ambient air.
The sample gas pressure must be reduced at the sampling point. A heated adjust-
able pressure regulator is also to be provided if samples are taken from liquid gas
lines.
Sample Gas The sample gas supply line must consist of stainless steel tubing, be as short as
Supply Line possible and have the fewest joints possible.
The diameter of tube from the beginning of the first switch-over valve should be
3 mm externally and 2 mm internally. The sample gas connection to the gas ana-
lyzer is specified for a tube with an external diameter of 3 mm. Swagelok® fittings
should be used for the connections.
The trace oxygen analyzer module ZO23 may not be series-connected to other
ZO23 analyzer modules or other gas analyzers.
Gas Outlet Line Flexible tubing can be used for the gas outlet line. With a nominal diameter of
4 mm, its length should be more than 3 m to prevent back diffusion from the
ambient air.
Bypass The gas analyzer is connected to a constant gas flow (approx. 30 l/h) in the
bypass. The needle valve is installed upstream of the branch to the gas analyzer,
and the bypass flow meter downstream of the branch to the gas analyzer.
The gas analyzer takes 8 l/h from the gas flow. There is a surplus of approx. 20 l/h.
If several ZO23 analyzer modules are supplied with gas in parallel (redundant
measurement), the flow must be set in such a way that the bypass has a surplus
of 20 l/h.
With a nominal diameter of 4 mm, the exhaust gas line from the outlet of the gas
analyzer should be longer than 3 m to prevent back diffusion from the ambient air.
On account of possible leaks, the flow meters are always placed in the bypass
feed path downstream of the branch to the gas analyzer, respectively, downstream
of the gas analyzer; they may on no account be installed in the sample gas supply
line upstream of the measuring cell.
Exhaust Gas The sample gas and the bypass must be conducted to the atmosphere or to an
unpressurized exhaust gas collecting system at an adequate distance from the
gas analyzer. Long conduction paths and pressure variations must be avoided.
For measurement and safety-related reasons, sample gas and bypass may not be
discharged into the atmosphere in the proximity of the gas analyzer, since the
ambient air serves as reference air, and also in order to exclude asphyxiation as a
result of oxygen deficiency. It must be ensured that any exhaust gas which gets
into respiratory air is sufficiently diluted.
