PCS.smart+ AMS
5.5 Operating the sample gas pump
DANGER
Toxic, corrosive gases
The measuring gas led through the equipment can be hazard-
ous when breathing or touching it.
a) Check tightness of the measuring system before putting
it into operation.
b) Take care that harmful gases are exhausted to a save
place.
c) Before maintenance turn off the gas supply and make
sure that it cannot be turned on unintentionally.
d) Protect yourself during maintenance against toxic / cor-
rosive gases. Use suitable protective equipment.
The pump will only run after reaching the block temperature.
It is only intended to convey gaseous mediums. It is not suit-
able for liquids.
Operation under primary pressure is prohibited. The flow in-
side the device (optional regulation via bypass or flow meter
with built-in needle valve) should always be at least 50 L/h.
Throttling greatly will shorten the life of the sample gas
pump.
CAUTION
Hot surface
Risk of burns
Housing temperatures may be high during operation.
Allow the unit to cool down before performing maintenance
or repairs.
5.6 Operating the flow metre (optional)
The flow volume of the system can be adjusted using the
built-in needle valve on the flow metre.
Avoid a flow of less than 50 L/min. Throttling greatly will
shorten the life of the sample gas pump.
5.7 Condensate
DANGER
The gas inside the filter, condensate and used filter ele-
ments may be caustic or corrosive.
Sample gas can be harmful.
a) Before maintenance turn off the gas supply and surge
with air if necessary.
b) Exhaust sample gas to a safe place.
c) Protect yourself against toxic / corrosive gas during
maintenance. Wear appropriate personal protection
equipment.

Bühler Technologies GmbH
Condensate accumulates during operation. The built-in con-
densate pump transports this out of the condensate outlet
through the factory installed hose. Please note, the hose line
must be connected to the condensate port of the
PCS.smart+ AMS during operation. Condensate must be col-
lected and disposed of properly. During periods of non-use
and when transporting the device, the hose should be discon-
nected from the PCS.smart+ AMS port. The condensate port on
the PCS.smart+ AMS is self-sealing when not installed. A fit-
ting DN4/6 adapter is included.
CAUTION
Operation in designated position
The unit should only be operated in the designated position.
If this cannot be ensured due to logistics (e.g. transport via
shippers), it's important to completely empty the vessel, as
condensate could otherwise flow back into the gas lines.
6 Maintenance
Always observe the applicable safety- and operating regula-
tions when performing any type of maintenance. Please refer
to the original operator's manual on the included CD or online
at www.buehler-technologies.com for maintenance informa-
tion.
7 Service and Repair
Please refer to the original operator's manual on the included
CD or online at www.buehler-technologies.com for a detailed
description of the unit including information on
troubleshooting and repair.
