These operating instructions are a part of the equipment. The
manufacturer reserves the right to change performance-, spe-
cification- or technical data without prior notice. Please keep
these instructions for future reference.
1.1 Intended Use
Condensate accumulates when operating gas analysis sys-
tems. This is collected in the condensate trap.
The GL 1 and GL 2 receptacles have a drain valve and only dif-
fer in size. The GL 3 receptacle further has a level switch for
displaying the fill level or controlling a pump. The drain is a
glass thread version into which a drain valve can optionally be
installed.
All condensate traps are made from Duran glass and PTFE,
making them corrosion-resistant.
The condensate traps may further be used in zone 1 and 2 ex-
plosion class IIA and IIB explosive areas. For this use, the provi-
sions in chapter "Use in explosive atmosphere areas" must be
observed in addition to the other specifications in these oper-
ating instructions.
1.2 Design types
If a receptacle has special features, these are described separ-
ately in the operating manual. Please note the version when
ordering spare parts.
Please refer to the nameplate to identify your model. In addi-
tion to the job number it also contains the item number and
model designation.

DANGER

Electrical voltage

Electrocution hazard.
a) Disconnect the device from power supply.
b) Make sure that the equipment cannot be reconnected to
mains unintentionally.
c) The device must be opened by trained staff only.
d) Regard correct mains voltage.
DANGER
Toxic and corrosive gases / condensate
Sample gas / condensate can be hazardous.
a) Take care that the gas is exhausted in a place where no
persons are in danger.
b) Before maintenance turn off the gas supply and make
sure that it cannot be turned on unintentionally.
c) Protect yourself during maintenance against toxic / cor-
rosive gases / condensate. Use gloves, respirator and face
protector under certain circumstances.
DANGER

Potentially explosive atmosphere
