Yieldmaster Operating Manual

2For your safety

2.1 General information

The Yieldmaster system wastested and readyfor operation when it left our plant.

Please read this operating manual carefully before installing the device and starting oper-

ation. The operating manual contains safety instructions that must be observed to ensure

safe operation.

The system maynever be operated in conditionsthat do not correspond to the specifications

on the type plate.

Maintenance and servicing mayonly be performed by speciallytrained personnel who are

familiar with the hazards inherent to the work aswellasthe guarantee terms.

2.2 Authorized personnel

All actions described in this operating manual may only be conducted by specialist personnel

who have been authorized bythe plant operator. Work on the device other than that

described in this manual may only be performed by personnel of the BlueSens gassensor

GmbH companyfor safetyreasonsand to ensure compliance with the terms of the guar-

antee.

2.3 Proper use

The Yieldmaster is an analysis system for simultaneousgasconcentration analysis(CH4and

other gases like CO2, O2, EtOH, H2also addable) and volume determination in the specified

concentration area and under the conditionsdescribed in the technicaldata. It is used to mon-

itor metabolism in biological processes such as fermentation. The BPC-sensors of the Yield-

master may only be used in well ventilated rooms.

DANGER

The sensor does not have an ATEX certificate and may therefore only be used in

well ventilated rooms.

2.4 Misuse warning

Partsof the Yieldmaster system maynot be used asa safetycomponent for monitoring

gassesin systemsor as a gaswarning device. It mayalso not be used in areassubject to explo-

sion hazards.

For your safety

2.5 General safety instructions

If the device isnot used correctly, or used for itsintended purpose, application-specific haz-

ards mayarise.

DANGER

If the device isincorrectlyinstalled or set, there isa danger of explosionsand pois-

oning.

After installation, check all connections for leaks.

NOTICE

Please note the safety instructions in all the following chapters.

2.6 CE conformity

The Yieldmaster conforms to the EMC Directive (89/336/EEC, 92/31/EEC and 93/68/EEC)

when applying the harmonized standardsEN50081–1, EN61000.

The low-voltage directive (72/23/EEC und 93/68/EEC) isnot applicable as no voltage greater

than 24 Visused. You can find the EC Declaration of conformityon one of the last page of this

manual.

Yieldmaster Operating Manual

3Product description

3.1 Yieldmaster

The Yieldmaster is an analysis system for the simultaneousmethane (CH4) and volume

determination. The biogasanalyzer Yieldmaster is a highly developed measuring system con-

sisting of microprocessor controlled infrared-gassensors, precision volumenometers (Mil-

liGascounter®) and the related BlueVis bioprocessing software. It isconsisting of up to 12

sets of BCP-CH4 sensors(other sensorsfor CO2, O2, EtOH, H2also addable) and the same

number of MilliGascounters. The CH4 concentration will be detected by the BCP-CH4

sensors and the produced volume will be detected by the MilliGascounter.

The CH4 sensorsBCP-CH4 are connected to a multiplexer boxBACCOM12 for the meth-

ane measurement inside the vessel. Alternatively, the sensorscan be connected with power

supply for each sensor and USB adapter. The MilliGascounter are connected to the Coun-

terBoxfor the detection of the volume. The CounterBoxwill be connected to the BACCom12

for the power supply and the data transfer. Alternatively, the CounterBoxcan be connected

with power supplyand USB adapter directlyto the PC. The BACCom12 will transfer the meas-

urement data of the Methane and the volume to a PC. The BACCom12 can be connected to

a PC via a serial connection or an Ethernet connection. The BACCom12 also can be integ-

rated into your local area network (LAN) by the Ethernet connection.

Every MilliGascounter isprotected by a one-wayvalve. This device secures that no fluid from

the MilliGascounter could be sucked into the fermentation vessel due to change of pressure

during longer experiments. During the experiment, Methane is produced inside of the fer-

mentation vessel.
