100(M) e [4.01] 25.09.96
6. Operating Conditions according to DMT - Approval
(Chapter 6 of the supplement I to the DMT - report No. “IBS/PFG-No. 41300392” about the
performance test of the stationary gas analyzer BINOS
®
100.
According to the system version and measuring results included in this report, the stationary gas
analyzer BINOS
®
100 from Rosemount GmbH & Co. is suitable for measuring the concentrations
of methane between 0 and 80 % CH
4
and of carbon dioxide between 0 and 80 % CO
2
, if the features
and system version go conform with the details contained in the enclosed documents as stated
in this report, if the analysis system is operated accordingly and if the following requirements are
met:
◆ When using the gas warning system, it must be ensured that the permissible variations will
not be exceeded, taking into account the systematics failures of the measuring signals (as
indicated in this report) and the local operating conditions. Consider the Code of Pratice No.
T032 of the Labor Association of the Chemical Industry "Usage of stationary gas warning
systems for explosion protection".
◆ Verify that the explosion protection requirements are met when using the gas warning
system.
◆ Depending on the situation, it must be verified that the preset values are low enough to allow
the system to activate the necessary protection and emergency measures and, thus, to
prevent any critical situations in a minimum period of time.
◆ When at system installation, a release of one or both measuring components in the ambient
air might occur, its influence on the measuring result should be proved. A sealed cell or an
external housing purging with sample-free air of measuring gases can be used, if required.
◆ The operatability of the alarms and the displays of each system should be tested with clean
air and test gas after the initial operation, after each long-time interruption, and periodically.
The tightness of gas pathes should also be tested. The tests must be documented by
keeping accounts.
