6 INTRODUCTION The portable gas conditioning and sampling system PSS-10/1 has been especially designed so that precise gas analyses can be carried out in any place and at any time. The entire gas conditioning system is housed in a compact and robust aluminium case which ensures that the components can be removed easily, and gas analyses carried out quickly, safely and with a minimum amount of maintenance.

9 DESCRIPTION Sample IIn GL 18 Power 4 555 Sample Out 3 Condensate Out 5 8 GL 25 290 Figure 2 420 Design of the portable conditioning and sampling system PSS-10/1 All the components of the gas conditioning system can be easily removed from the portable case. The door of the case can be opened by moving the toggle-type fasteners on the side and the top to the left.
Options The gas conditioning and sampling system PSS-10/1 consists of standard one gas-measuring outlet terminal. An additional flow meter (DK800R), with needle valve, can be fitted to this terminal, whereby the adjustment of the terminals is carried out in accordance with the specified volume flow rate (see 3.).
10 RECEIPT OF GOODS AND STORAGE The portable gas conditioning and sampling system PSS-10/1 is a completely pre-fitted unit. The sample gas probe, sample gas line, connection cable and instruction manual are located in the inside part of the case door.
12 SUPPLY CONNECTIONS 12.1 HOSE CONNECTIONS NOTE! Do not mix up the hose connections: they are clearly marked. After all the hoses have been connected, the tightness of such leads should be checked. Figure 3 shows the possible medium connections. These are located in the right-hand side of the gas conditioning case at the rear in a specially immersed assembly frame.
The sample gas hoses, and condensation hoses, are to be assembled as follows: Remove the union nut from the sealing ring couplings by turning it anti-clockwise. The nut should be removed from the thread with great care so as to ensure that the loose sealing ring in the nut is not lost. Place the union nut over the connecting hose. Place the sealing ring over the connecting hose with the thicker bead towards the nut. Place the hose over the nipple on the thread.
The PSS-10/1 gas conditioning system is available with either 230V/50 Hz or with 115V/60Hz. A 6,3A fuse is used on all models as fuse protection. The fuse is located in the power socket of the PSS enclosure. In the event that a temperature controller is used in conjunction with heated sample lines, the overload protection level is increased to 10A. The electrical connection is carried out by means of a cold appliance plug and 2m of cable located on the left-hand side of the case.
13 STARTING Before starting the gas conditioning system please pay attention to the site-oriented and processoriented precautions.
14 CLOSING DOWN NOTE! The area in which the equipment is situated when not in use must be kept free of frost at all times. There are no special regulations to be observed if the gas conditioning and sampling system is to be close down for a short period of time. In the case of a long-term closing down, for example after a series of measurements has been completed, it is recommended that the gas conditioning system be washed with ambient air or inert gas.
15 MAINTENANCE Before the maintenance work is carried out, it is necessary that the specific safety procedures pertaining to the system and operational process be observed! WARNING! Dangerous voltage. It is necessary to take the equipment off the mains before any assembly, maintenance or repair work is carried out. The frequency of the maintenance work depends on the operational process and can therefore only be determined in each individual case.
16 TROUBLE SHOOTING The following table aims to point out possible operational problems and offer solutions to such problems (not applicable during the starting procedure). Indication Problem Possible Cause Interruption of No voltage; gas flow; Upper LED on cooler does not come on; Middle LED on Cooler in cooler is green; operation but gas flow interrupted; Alarm LED on the LA electronics is red Cooler does not function. Cooler alarm registers ‘excess temperature’.
Indication Problem Middle LED on Cooler and cooler is green; gas pump in operation; condensate in sample gas lead; LED of the LA electronics is green; Possible Cause Check/Solution Pre-filter clogged up; Remove filter from condensate lead; Pump delivering? Change filter; Pump hose faulty; Pump not delivering? Change pump hose (see manual SR25.1, Peristaltic pump 3-7.1-ME); OK? SR25.1 faulty; Check peristaltic pump (see manual SR25.1, Not sufficient drying of 3-7.
