STARTING UP
Before starting up check whether the mains power supply voltage corresponds with the information
stated on the probe's nameplate.
Switch on mains power supply.
The total heating-up time is approximately 2 hours. After about 1 hour the probe is already sufficiently
heated for the temperature to have exceeded the temperature failure alarm value (160°C), but it still
takes about another hour until operating temperature is reached.
The sample gas can now be extracted via the probe after this minimum heating-up time of 2 hours.

MAINTENANCE
The safety measures specific to the plant and process are to be consulted prior to any maintenance
work!
N O T E !
Prior to carrying out maintenance work on electrical parts, mains
voltage should be disconnected from all poles!
This also applies to any external control circuits which may be
connected.
It is difficult to give any recommendations as to a particular maintenance cycle. Depending on your
process conditions, a meaningful maintenance cycle must be elaborated for the specific application.
An indication that probe-maintenance may be necessary could be shown by a constant decline in the
amount of sample gas in the analysis system.
Probe maintenance is restricted essentially to replacing filter elements and checking seals:
W A R N I N G !
Aggressive condensate is possible.
Wear protective glasses and proper protective clothing!
High surface temperatures!
Wear protective gloves!
Loosen U-bolt, swing retaining bolt to the left, hold filter receptacle by the ring
and draw out.
Screw out the filter's knurled screw and renew filter element.
Check filter element seals and replace if necessary.
Check O-rings in the lid and change if necessary.
Clean filter chamber.
It is now also possible to rod through the probe tube in order to remove deposits.
Replace filter receptacle, swing retaining bolt to the right and tighten the U-bolt firmly.
