MicroSAM 10 Operating Instructions, 06/2012, C79000-G5376-C560-07 WARNING Dangerous gases  The gas chromatograph requires various gases for operation which have different danger potentials.  The gas chromatograph may require gases for operation which produce an explosive mixture with air.  Route all exhaust gases out of the gas chromatograph and away from the position of use using a common line.  Always provide sufficient ventilation as soon as you allow the sample gas line to run empty and the sample gas contains corrosive or toxic components. CAUTION Corrosion danger The housing and the pipelines are resistant to solvents as well as weak alkalis and acids. Check the resistance of the housing and the pipelines when using in an environment with strong alkalis or acids and/or at higher temperatures. Avoided corrosion and damage of the connection lines resulting from permanent contact with the following substances:  Nitric acid  Hydrochloric acid  Carbon bisulfide  Ethanol  Formic acid  Petroleum spirit  Hydraulic oil  Isopropanol

11 CAUTION Electrostatic sensitive devices This device contains electrostatic sensitive devices. Electrostatic sensitive devices may be destroyed by voltages that are undetectable to a human. Voltages of this kind occur as soon as a component or an assembly is touched by a person who is not grounded against static electricity. The damage to a module as a result of overvoltage cannot usually be detected immediately. It may only become apparent after a long period of operation. Protective measures against discharge of static electricity:  Before you work with modules, first discharge any static charges from your body, for example by touching a grounded object.  Devices and tools used must be free of static charge.  Always pull the mains connector and disconnect the battery before installing or removing modules.  Hold modules only by their edges, and do not touch pins or printed conductors. 2.3 Transportation The gas chromatograph is supplied in various designs, and can also include a metal bracket as a protective unit for the connection pipes (see ⑦, Fig. 3.1). If the chromatograph is supplied with this metal bracket, it must only be transported or shipped together with it. Furthermore, we also recommend operation of the chromatograph with the metal bracket fitted. If the chromatograph is transported or shipped without this metal bracket, the warranty is nullified. Exception: The metal bracket is not required if the chromatograph is mounted in a protective casing approved by Siemens. In this case, transportation or shipping of the chromatograph is only permissible in this protective casing.

MicroSAM 12 Operating Instructions, 06/2012, C79000-G5376-C560-07 2.4 Protection against explosion 2.4.1 General regulations The installation and operation of electrical equipment in potentially explosive atmospheres are regulated by the directive RL 99/92/EU (ATEX 137). This directive refers to the generally recognized process engineering regulations. WARNING Cancellation of the explosion protection The test certificate for your explosion-proof gas chromatograph only applies to the original configuration as well as to connection and installation according to the switching and piping plans of Siemens AG. Changing one or more components will void the explosion protection for your device. Conditions The test certificate and any supplements contain all conditions and regulations specified for installation and operation of the device.

MicroSAM Operating Instructions, 06/2012, C79000-G5376-C560-07 13 WARNING Explosion hazard  The device is designed to analyze flammable and non-flammable gaseous media. Hydrogen or inert gases are used as auxiliary gases.  For the analysis of flammable gases or use of hydrogen as a carrier gas, oxygen may only be present in concentrations ≤ 2% in the sample.  Oxygen at concentrations up to 21% and pressure up to 1.1 bar (110 kPa) is permissible for operation only if an additional constructive explosion protection measure is implemented, for example, installation of a flame arrester between the process connection and gas chromatograph.  Oxygen at concentrations up to 21% and pressure > 1.1 bar (110 kPa) is not allowed under normal operating conditions for explosive mixtures.  The pneumatic conditions for the sample and the auxiliary gas must be strictly observed: – Sample gas ≤ 1.6 bar (160 kPa) absolute pressure – Auxiliary gas ≤ 8 bar (800 kPa) absolute pressure  If flammable gases are connected at a pressure > 1.1 bar (110 kPa), the chromatograph and the gas line must be purged with process gas prior to analysis.  Flammable gases which are explosive under the analysis conditions even with the exclusion of oxygen (acetylene and ethylene oxide), may only be present in the analyzed mixture in concentrations that are uncritical for safety-related engineering. Acetylene and ethylene oxide can be present in a concentration up to 100%.  The permissible ambient temperature range is -30° to +55° C.  The temperature range for continuous operation is -20 °C to +50 °C.

25 3.6 Functions Predefined analysis modules are used in your gas chromatograph. The main feature of the analysis module is the in-line detection. With the in-line detection, columns and thermal conductivity detectors (TCD) are connected in series so that measurements are carried out at the points where the separation of components is optimum. The thermal conductivity detectors are half-bridges without an actual reference. Pairs of thermal conductivity detectors are combined into a complete bridge circuit such that signals are never superimposed. The type and serial number of the analysis module are engraved on the rating plate on the breathing connector, e.g. A01 124 ES04 or higher. The supplement ES04 identifies product version 4 of the analysis module. From release version 9 (AS09) onwards of the MicroSAM basic unit, the version eLive is produced. In this case the basic unit has an additional membrane valve function 5 for purging the sample loop. This extension improves control of the injection pulse position. The following diagrams show permissible combinations of basic devices and types of analysis modules. ��������������������� ��������AS01 - AS08 ��������������� ������ ������ ��� ��������� �������� ������������� ����������� ��������������������� ���������������������AS09� ��������������� ������ ������ ��������������� �������������� �������� ������������� ���� *) Modules of type A can also be used.

53 3.6.9 Temperature control systems Previously available temperature control systems The device previously featured three temperature control systems: ● Two temperature control systems heated the column and the detectors. They are located in the analysis module. ● The third temperature control system heated the pneumatic connectors. Additional fourth temperature control system The fourth temperature control system is located on devices as of release version 10 at the sample inlet of the MicroSAM: � � � ① Fourth temperature control system at the sample inlet ② Sample path in the heated copper tube ③ Access to the pneumatic connector

� � ① Fourth temperature control system at the sample inlet ② Sample path in the heated copper tube Why an additional temperature control system? Depending on the dew point of the process sample, condensate can form in the sample path. This can result in destruction of the analysis module. From the entrance to the enclosure of MicroSAM, the preheated sample is thermostatically controlled to the correct temperature by the additional temperature control system. The sample path is heated by the additional temperature control system.
