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

The AGF-FE-4 filter was designed specifically for front panel
installation in analysers or systems. The AGF-FA-5 is designed
for mounting onto the front panel. All types can be used for
filtering sample gas.
Filters AGF-FE-4 and AGF-FA-5 may further be used in explos-
ive atmosphere areas zone 1 and 2 explosion class IIA and IIB.
When used for this purpose, the information in chapter "Use
in explosive atmosphere areas" must be followed in addition
to the other information in these operating instructions.

1.2 Scope of delivery

• 1 x Filter
• Product documentation
2 Safety instructions
The equipment must be installed by a professional familiar
with the safety requirements and risks.
Be sure to observe the safety regulations and generally applic-
able rules of technology relevant for the installation site. Pre-
vent malfunctions and avoid personal injuries and property
damage.
The operator of the system must ensure:
• Safety notices and operating instructions are available
and observed,
• The respective national accident prevention regulations
are observed,
• The permissible data and operational conditions are
maintained,
• Safety guards are used and mandatory maintenance is
performed,
• Legal regulations are observed during disposal,
• compliance with national installation regulations.

DANGER
Toxic, corrosive gases
The measuring gas led through the equipment can be hazard-
ous when breathing or touching it.
a) Check tightness of the measuring system before putting
it into operation.
b) Take care that harmful gases are exhausted to a save
place.
c) Before maintenance turn off the gas supply and make
sure that it cannot be turned on unintentionally.
d) Protect yourself during maintenance against toxic / cor-
rosive gases. Use suitable protective equipment.
3 Use in explosive atmosphere areas
Intended Use
Filters AGF-FE-4 and AGF-FA-5 may be used in explosive atmo-
sphere areas zone 1 and 2. Explosion classes IIA and IIB are ap-
proved. The filters have no innate ignition source and do not
fall into the application of Directive 2014/34/EU and therefore
do not bear the CE mark.
II 2/2G c IIB TX X, -5°C <T
The ambient temperatures must not be below -5 °C or above
60 °C.
The highest surface temperature is directly affected by the
temperature of the medium introduced. The medium intro-
duced must not exceed the maximum temperature of 100 °C.
If necessary, a temperature monitor should be installed.
When operating the AGF-FA-5 with moisture detector and
controller, these must be inherently safe according to EN
60079-11.
When using a moisture detector on the AGF-FA-5, its working
temperature may deviate from the specifications here and
limit the approved ambient temperature range of the filter as
well as the permissible medium temperatures.
Depending on the process conditions, pressure- or flow
sensors may be required for continuous monitoring. If the
process holds a risk of flame propagation a flame arrestor
must be installed.
Safety instructions
The following safety notices must absolutely be followed
when operating the filter in an area with explosive atmo-
sphere. Failure to do so can result in an explosion hazard.
• Only perform installation-, removal- and maintenance
work in non-explosive atmosphere.
• Protect filter from mechanical impact. If necessary, install
a cover which withstands at least 4 joule.
• Protect filter from vibration, or avoid vibration. If neces-
sary, mechanically brace supply and discharge lines.
• Observe all limits, operating parameters, etc. specified in
these operating instructions and the data sheet.
• Maintenance and cleaning instructions must be followed.
