INTRODUCTION Thank you for purchasing the flue gas analysis computer in. Please read the manual before using the appliance and observe the following safety tips SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Please observe all instructions that are printed on the product. The analyzer may only be opened and serviced by qualified personnel. When servicing, make sure that the instrument is never repaired standing under pressure. During the warranty period, do not open the device as this would invalidate the warranty. Do not place anything on the unit, in particular, no objects filled with liquids. Liquid must not penetrate into the device; otherwise there is a risk of a short circuit or electric shock. The device must not be used in water. 1 GENERAL The is a sophisticated flue gas analyzer, which for CO measurement on trucks with LPG - combustion engine according to 33 and 37 UVV "Use of Liquid" (BGV D34) can be used. 1.1 IMPORTANT NOTES ON OPERATION OF THE METER A pump sucks the gas through the gas sampling probe and the condensate trap and feeds it to sensor. In the condensate trap is condensed water and deposited in the dust filter fine dust particles. The electrochemical CO sensor is a highly sensitive and selective gas transmitter, which could get damaged by improper handling. For this reason, must never be measured without filter. Drain the condensate trap after each measurement and rinse the device after each measurement with fresh air to the CO sensor indicates less than 15ppm. Also look in the winter time that the machine is warming up before a measurement, so there is no condensation inside the unit. This would result in an incorrect measurement and in damage of the sensor. The device should not be used for a long time, make sure it is stored in a dry place. IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS! Annual calibration and maintenance Operating Temperature 10 C to 40 C Storage temperature -20 C to 50 C Never take measurements without filter / condensate trap Empty the condensate trap after each measurement Ventilate the meter with fresh air after each measurement Replacement of the dust filter For defects on the sensor due to condensation or improper handling, no guarantee can be given. 3

2.2 CONNECTORS GAS Gas inlet nipple (probe tube) 2.2.1 GAS Nipple (Gas sampling probe) Before the device can be put into operation, the gas sampling probe must be connected to the analyzer. For this purpose, the tube of the probe is placed on the bag filter and this is then placed on the GAS nipple plugged. The gas sampling probe must not be introduced into the flue gas duct during zeroing. 2.3 POWER SUPPLY / BATTERY The is equipped with 3 x AA cell batteries. These batteries must be charged in a separate charging station. The batteries can be used more than 6 hours. The battery compartment is located on the back. To remove the batteries, first a screw must be loosened to open the flap. Please make sure that changing the batteries in the correct polarity. Rear Battery Compartment 5

3 OPERATION 3.1 TURNING ON IMPORTANT NOTE - Before the exhaust gas measurement of motor of the truck must be warm! - There should be no measurement done on a cold engine, as this would distort the measurements and adjustments. Connect as described above, first the gas sampling probe and the small bag filter with the and then turn on the device. For the ON/OFF button for 2 seconds must be pressed. The unit starts with a zero point calibration, and these must be carried out in fresh air. The zero point calibration takes 30 seconds. The meter examines the sensor at this time and all other components. If an error occurs a message is displayed. After a successful zero calibration will take you directly to measure. 3.2 MEASURE IMPORTANT NOTE - The flue gas analysis should be carried out in partial load (neutral). - In accordance with 33 to 37 UVV Use of Liquid (BGV D34) may the CO value when the engine is warm no greater than 0.1 Vol.%(=1000ppm). - If the measured value exceed 0.1 Vol.%, an alarm will sound. Now run the gas sampling probe into the exhaust one, while the probe is fixed to the bracket in the exhaust. Immediately thereafter, the CO value of the burn process appears. IF the readings are stable, it takes about 3 minutes, can be printed or saved measurement. MAXIMUM CO-VALUE (Peak) 7
