Overview of important safety information:
1.2 Intended use
1.2.1 Purpose of the device
FIDOR is a total hydrocarbon analyzer (FID) for continuous measurement of the total con-
centration of organically bound carbon.
The sample gas is extracted at the sampling point and fed through the analysis system
(extractive measurement).
FIDOR was tested for suitability according to DIN EN 15267 for continuous monitoring of
emissions of organically bound carbon according to:
● 13th BImSchv (FICA) and TI Air
● 17th BImSchv (FICA)
1.2.2 Installation location
The operating unit and analyzer unit are generally designed for indoor operation.
These devices should not be exposed to direct atmospheric influences (wind, rain, sun).
Such influences can damage the devices and negatively affect the measuring accuracy.
WARNING: Hazards by explosive or combustible gases.
 Do not use the FIDOR for measuring explosive or combustible gases.
WARNING: Risk of explosions due to leaky lines
The FID is supplied with hydrogen. Risk of explosions due to leaky lines.
 Do not cover the enclosure cover.
 Do not operate the FIDOR in closed rooms
OR
install a hydrogen sensor (H
2
sensor) (< 25% LEL)
WARNING: Explosion hazard in potentially explosive atmospheres
 Do not use the FIDOR in potentially explosive atmospheres.
