USER MANUAL
3 Description
The main task of the analyser is to support the following applications:
 Exact flue gas measurements for almost all industrial

combustion types
In addition, by activating appropriate options or connecting external
accessories, the analyser can be used for a wide range of measuring
tasks, such as
 Flow measurement
 Differential measurements of pressure and temperature
3.1. Gas flow diagram

In combination with the extraction probe (inserted in the stack) the in-
ternal gas pump of the analyser extracts a portion of the flue gas and
analyses it using electro-chemical sensors.
The thermo-element in the probe tube measures the flue gas tempera-
ture and due to the construction of the probe pressure (draft) can be
measured as well.

3.3. Condensate seperator (water trap)
 CAUTION
Condensate is acidic
The condensate from the container can be slight acidic
and can cause chemical burn.
► Immediately clean with plenty of water once you
have encountered acid
Condensate accumulating during the measurement is collected in the

condensate separator.
Note that there are two variants of the condensate separator.
 Without water stop filter

 With water stop filter
MRU GmbH, D-74172 15 /

USER MANUAL
Condensate separator
without water stop filter
Remove the condensate separator by lifting it out from the groove (1)
of the analyser. Then pull out the condensate separator downwards (2).
Liquid discharged from the condensate separator may be slightly acidic.
Condensate vessel and plug are screwed into each other. To change the
pocket star filter and dry and clean the condensate separator, it can be
easily disassembled and screwed back together.
After cleaning, a leak test must be performed.
 See also chapter 9.4 Performing leak test, Page 81.
An exhaust gas filter is installed in the condensate separator of the

analyser. This filters out the first coarse dirt.
This pocket star filter is washable and can be used approx. 4-5 times.
Frequent measurement results in a high degree of contamination,
which requires regular replacement of the pocket star filter.
MRU GmbH, D-74172 16 /

USER MANUAL
Condensate separator with

water stop filter
1 Water stop filter
2 Sealing ring
The water stop filter protects the analyser from moisture.

The water stop filter closes as soon as there is a risk that condensate is
sucked into the analyser.
A closed water stop filter can be indicated, for example, by the fact that
the flow rate is too low.
 See also chapter 12Option: Monitoring flow rate, Page 92. If

the flow monitoring option is installed in your analyser, the
corresponding message could indicate a closed water stop
filter.
MRU GmbH, D-74172 17 /

USER MANUAL
► Check in the water stop filter

► Replace the water stop filter if necessary.
► Remove the condensate separator with water stop from the
analyser as described above.
► Unscrew the condensate separator.
► Replace the water stop filter.
Observe the direction when installing the water stop filter

The side with the sealing ring must point upwards.
Due to the arrangement of the membrane in the filter, the water stop
filter will quickly become defective if inserted in the wrong direction due
to excessive pressure.
The water stop filter should be replaced annually.

USER MANUAL
7 Performing measurement
In the basic configuration, each analyser has the complete functionality

you need for gas measurement.
The process of gas measurement is described below.
The description of other optionally available measuring programs can
be found in the appendix or on separate supplementary sheets.
7.1. Perform Gas measurement

Core flow search
NOTE
Note that you have to switch on the core flow search in
the menu Measurement settings before starting a gas
measurement.
You can preselect whether a core flow search is to be carried out in the
measuring programs before the start of the measurements.
The core flow search will help you to find the optimal measurement
point in the stack. The core flow can be identified by the maximum flue
gas temperature. In high reaction time the analyser displays the trend of
the flue gas temperature. Insert the probe pipe slowly into the stack and
position your probe tube when you have reached the maximum flue gas
temperature that is displayed
MRU GmbH, D-74172 39 /

USER MANUAL
Positioning the probe in the core flow:
Insert the probe pipe slowly into the stack and position your probe pipe
when you have reached the maximum flue gas temperature that is dis-
played.
Maximum temperature has been reached when the arrows (left picture)
disappear, max. (Right picture) appears in place of the arrow, and the
beeper signal stops. Moving away from the max. Temperature will result
in the bars moving away from the max. Once the right core flow has
been achieved, the probe is fixed with the probe cone screw.
Select Measurement program
DANGER
Rick due to toxic gases
There is a risk of poisoning.
Noxious gases are sucked in by the measuring device
and released into the ambient air.
► Only use the measuring device in well
ventilated spaces.
NOTE
Wrong measuring results
The extracted flue gas must be able to evacuate the ana-
lyser without obstruction.
► The exhaust outlet at the rear of the analyser may
never be covered during a measurement, never oper-
ate the analyser in a transport case.

USER MANUAL
Measurement window
The measured values are organised in three windows of 7 measured val-

ues each.
Which measured value is displayed at which position in the window is
configurable.
 See also Chapter 5.12, Page 34 and chapter 5.13Configure zoom

window, Page 35.
Direct measured variables such as oxygen content or temperature are

available as measured values, as are calculated values such as
dew point, CO2 content, etc. The same measured value is also available
in different conversions, such as CO as ppm or mg/kWh.
Measured values that are not available are shown as dashes. Reasons
for unavailability can be:
 Electrochemical sensor was detected as faulty during zeroing.

 External temperature sensors are not plugged in.
The measured value T-gas is primarily derived from the connection "T-
gas / AUX" (depending on the equipment) or, if not available, from
the connection "T1".
CO purging
If the configured CO threshold is exceeded during the gas measure-

ment, the analyser activates the purge function. This protects the CO
sensor from excessive CO values without falsifying other measured val-
ues.
During the purging, the CO measured value has no meaning and is
therefore replaced by dashes. These are red as long as the CO measured
value is still above the set CO threshold and then turn black when purg-
ing is successful.
Purging does not end automatically, but must be switched off by the
user.
To do this, select the menu key and the subitem "purge pump OFF”

8 Data storage
8.1. Organize data storage

.
The basis for the data storage of the analyser is saved sets of sites inside
the analyser. Each site has a distinct site number as well as 8 additional free
text lines for names and address.
The analyser can store up to 32,000 different sites.
Sites can be newly created and changed in the analyser, or are

transferred e.g., via a PC - program by means of ZIV - module.
NOTE
New sites created in the analyser will NOT be transferred
back to the computer program. When transferring data
from the analyser to the computer only measurement
data will be transferred, identified by the site number
that has been assigned to the measurement, when the
measurement was saved.
Measurements are stored by assigning them to a site. Measurements can

be gas measurements or other measuring programs available in the ana-
lyser.
8.2. Call up information about Memory info

In the menu item "storage" you select „memory info“ to get information

8.4. Transfer data via using SD card
The data exchange format is CSV. A character-separated values (CSV) file is

a simple text format for a database table. Each record in the table is one
line of the text file. Each field value of a record is separated from the next
by a character. The analyser uses a semi-colon ‘;’ as value separator (other
implementations use sometimes a comma). Implementations of CSV can
often handle field values with embedded line breaks or separator charac-
ters by using quotation marks or escape sequences. CSV is a simple file
format that is widely supported, so it is often used to move tabular data
between different computer programs, for example Microsoft Excel™ or
Ac- cess™, that support the format. Also, other computer programs offer
this type of interface because it is widely spread and easy to use.
The following functions are available:
 Import sites
 Export sites
 Export measurements
MRU GmbH, D-74172 71 /

USER MANUAL
Import sites
With this function you can import Sites which have been created on a
computer or another Analyser.
The File name must have the name “anlagen.csv“(anlagen = German for
sites). The file has no column heading that means that the first line al-
ready has user data. Each line has a minimum of 9 columns (with 8
semi-colons) and the first field in the line will be the site number. All
data will be imported as long a site number is available. Per field a maxi-
mum of 24 characters will be imported, too long words will be cut off.
NOTE
Before you can import sites via a CSV file, you have to
rename the desired CSV file to anlagen.csv. Save the re-
named CSV file in the root directory of the SD card.
NOTE
While importing data from the SD Card to the analyser
there is no check for double site numbers (Line 1), nei-
ther inside of the file that is imported nor between the
file and the sites already inside the analyser. The ana-
lyser can easily handle double site numbers but you
could face problems with double site numbers when
exporting them again to a computer program

9 Extras / Adjustment
The analyser is delivered with a standard preset software, which should
cover your needs in most cases. However, the settings are highly flexible
and customizable.
If you want to change various settings, we recommend that you do so
with a little thought. The better you plan the settings, the less often you
will have to correct them and the more comfortable you will be working
with the analyser.
Use the possibilities of the individually configurable measuring meth-
ods, measuring displays, pressure outputs and self-selecting fuels in
such a way that all your practical requirements are met as far as possi-
ble. Then you will rarely have to make changes to the settings again. Af-
ter making changes to the settings, you should switch off the analyser
once briefly so that the changes are permanently saved and take effect
when you restart the analyser.

As the size of the data memory is limited, the ratio between total dura-
tion and interval is also subject to certain limits if the automatic measur-
ing system is to store values in the data memory. The analyser displays
the required memory.
If the required memory is too high, reduce the measurement duration
or increase the interval to minimize the required memory.
