Chapter 1  Preparing the Installation 
 
Installation Location Requirements 
 
Short Gas Paths  Install the gas analyzer as close as possible to the sampling location. 
 
Locate the gas preparation and calibration assemblies as close as possible to the 
gas analyzer. 
 
Adequate Air 
Circulation 
Provide for adequate natural air circulation around the gas analyzer. Avoid heat 
buildup. 
 
When installing several system housings in a 19-inch rack, maintain a minimum 
spacing of 1 rack unit between housings. 
 
The entire surface of the system housing is used to dissipate heat. 
 
Protection from 
Adverse Conditions 
Protect the gas analyzer from: 
• Cold 
• Direct sunlight and heat 
• Large temperature variations 
• Strong air currents 
• Accumulations of dust and dust infiltration 
• Corrosive atmospheres 
• Vibration (see “Vibrations”, page 1-2)
