Purge gas connections (option)
Only applies to analyzers with PURGE_IN/PURGE OUT gas connections
S710/S711
▸
If required: Feed-in purge gas via the PURGE IN fitting (according to your own require-
ments).
S715 without enclosure pressurization
▸
If required: Connect a purge gas supply to the PURGE IN and PURGE OUT fittings.

Leak test procedure
1 Prepare a gas connection:
2 Connect a manometer to the hose connection (measuring range should cover
0 … 300 Pa) and a device which can be used to introduce a gas under-pressure into the
S715 (for example, a gas pump).
3 Now produce an under-pressure inside the S715 of 300 Pa (3 mbar) against ambient
pressure. Then block the gas line and read the manometer.
● The S715 enclosure is »vapor-tight« according to the European standard
EN 60079. (Criterion: The time for which it takes for an underpressure of
3 mbar to rise to 1.5 mbar in an closed instrument is greater than
90 seconds.)
● If the S715 is used in an explosion-hazardous location (Zone 2), it is
required the use the purge gas inlet and seal the purge gas outlet when
performing the leak rate test (→ page 216, §16.2).
For analyzers
without purge gas connections
For analyzers
with purge gas connections
1 Loosen the fitting on the left side
of the enclosure and remove the
closing plug (→ p. 9).
2 Replace the plug with a hose
connector (supplied with the
analyzer) and make the fitting
gas-tight again.
1 Block or seal one of the purge gas
connections, for example by closing an
valve in the external purge gas line.
2 Prepare the other purge gas connection in
order to allow the introduction of gas,
however in such a way that the
connection can be closed. (If no special
equipment has been installed for this
purpose, disconnect the external purge
gas line from the connector and install a
hose connector instead.)
A higher pressure difference can damage the enclosure.
▸
Do not apply a higher pressure than specified.
Although the pressure is rather low, it may take some minutes to establish
the required pressure difference.
