Intended use

The analyzer MGAprime Q is proofed according to DIN EN 15267-4.
The analyzer is intended for short and long-term measurements within the context of emission control measurements. The analyzer records the measured variables and stores them for further processing

Analyzer, Probe, Acid Dosing Unit APE and Connectors

Analyzer

The analyzer is delivered in a water-repellent bag.
During measuring operation, the analyzer must be placed in a water-resistant bag. The water-resistant is part of the analyzer.

Heated Gas sampling probe

1	Probe handle	2	Probe tube
3	Fast locking coupling	4	Probe cone
5	Cable plug (14-pin)	6	Heated hose line
7	Cable coupler (5-pin)	8	Fast locking coupling
9	Filter lock

Check the probe filter before and after each measurement.

WARNING
The danger of burns and fire hazards from Heated hose line Injuries and burns may result.

Roll out the heated hose line completely for each measurement.c

ATTENTION
When measuring with a coiled heated hose line, the hose line is destroyed due to strong heat development.

Roll out the heated hose line completely for each measurement.

Acid Dosing Unit APE

CAUTION
Acid from the condensate
Acid burns may result from weakly acidic liquids from the condensate.

If you come into contact with acid, wash the area immediately using a lot of water.
Note the safety data sheet for phosphoric acid (10%).
Consider connecting a container to the condensate outport

Phosphoric acid (10 %) is injected into the analyzer using the Acid Dosing Unit APE (# 12076 Injection MGAprime Q Set).
The injection of phosphoric acid (10 %) is necessary for a correct measurement.

Operation

Commissioning

Connect the mains plug.
Press Power on / off (1)
The analyzer switches on.
The operating system boots.
Die blaue LED für Power und die blaue LED für Netzbetrieb leuchten. (Im Fehlerfall leuchtet die Power LED rot)
Blue LEDs for ON and power supply are switched on.
(In the event of an error, the Power LED lights red)
The device runs through a start routine of 60 minutes.
The start routine includes:
self-test
warm-up of the NDIR bench
cooldown of the double stage gas cooler, indicated by the symbol
Zeroing is indicated by a symbol.
The remaining time until the end of zero is displayed.
Ready for operation after 60min

Measurement

ATTENTION

Operate the analyzer in a standing position only.
See also chapter 4.4 Connectors, S.5
Set up and operate the analyzer only as shown in the illustration.
Never operate the analyzer in a lying position.
The analyzer may otherwise be damaged.

Prepare measurement

Operating temperature
The internal gas cooler operates at 4°C, which is the dew point of the sample gas to the sensors. Components along the gas line may be damaged if they are colder than 4°C and condensation appears internally. Therefore, if the analyzer has been stored very cold below 0°C, it is essential to wait for the analyzer to warm up in a warm environment in order to avoid such condensation! In such cases, take a typical warm-up time for the instrument of one hour into account, especially when wet flue gases are to be measured. If the operating temperature is not within the permissible range, a corresponding message is displayed.

Power supply
The analyzer can be operated with an internal battery to warm up the instrument or to use internal instrument functions. A mains connection is required for the measurement including a heated gas sampling probe and heating hose.

ATTENTION
When measuring with coiled heated hose line, the hose line is destroyed due to strong heat development.

Roll out the heated hose line completely for each measurement.

Opening the transport bag

Open the transport bag to get access the control panel (1).
Open the transport bag to get access to the left side. (2).
Open the ventilation flap (3).

Connections to the analyzer

See also Chapter 3 Analyser, Probe, Acid Dosing Unit APE and. S.3.
Connect the gas sampling probe to Sample gas inlet port (12) (gas coupling and round plug).
Note that acidic condensate, as well as phosphoric acid, is discharged from the condensate out port (9). Consider connecting a hose or collecting container to the condensate outlet when appropriate. Ensure that the empty volume of the collection container is sufficient (24ml/h). The hose must not be closed and the collection container must have a ventilation opening.
Please note that measuring gas may leak at the analyzer side or at the Sample gas outlet port (10)
Ensure that ambient fresh air can be sucked in at the Fresh air inlet port (11). Consider connecting a hose leading fresh air to the analyzer.

Connecting Acid Dosing Unit APE

CAUTION
Acid from the condensate
Acid burns may result from weakly acidic liquids from the condensate.

If you come into contact with acid, wash the area immediately using a lot of water.
Note the safety data sheet for phosphoric acid (10%).
Consider connecting a container to the condensate outport

NOTE
Phosphoric acid (10%) is not included in the scope of delivery.
Phosphoric acid (10 %) must be procured by the operator.

Check the remaining contents of the acid tank before measurement.
Connect a collection container to the condensate outlet.
Plug the AUX connector into the analyzer.
The AUX-connection cable ensures that no phosphoric acid (10 %) is injected into the analyzer when the pumps are switched off.
Plug the couplings of the connecting hose into the connection nozzle of the Acid Dosing Unit APE (2x outlet to device).
Plug the couplings of the connecting hose into the connection nozzle of the analyzer.

NOTE
You do not have to pay attention to any special arrangement of the couplings between the Acid Dosing Unit APE and the analyzer.
Make sure that the hose connectors click into place audibly.

Plug the coupling of the connecting hose to the acid tank into the connection nozzle of the Acid Dosing Unit APE (Input 10 % phosphoric acid).
Plug the cable socket of the main cable into the Acid Dosing Unit APE (Main).
Plug the power cord into the socket.
⇒ At the end of the zero-point measurement, phosphoric acid (10 %) will be injected.
⇒ The control lamp lights up green as soon as phosphoric acid (10 %) will be injected. The control of the acid dosing unit APE begins 40 minutes after the analyzer is started

Take a measurement

Touch the menu Measure.

⇒ The measured value window appears.
⇒ The measurement starts with the set parameters.
