EL3000 CONTINUOUS GAS ANALYZERS |  OI/EL3000-EN REV. D  201 
 
 
 
 
Packing the Gas Analyzer 
 
1.  Remove adapters from the gas ports and tightly seal the gas 
ports. 
2.  If the original packaging is not available, wrap the gas 
analyzer in bubble wrap or corrugated cardboard. For 
overseas shipment, always add a desiccant (e.g., silica gel) 
and hermetically seal the gas analyzer plus desiccant in a 
layer of polythene that is 0.2 mm thick. The amount of drying 
agent should be appropriate for the package volume and the 
expected shipping duration (at least 3 months). 
3.  Pack the gas analyzer in an adequately sized box lined with 
shock-absorbing material (foam or similar). The thickness of 
the shock-absorbing material should be adequate for the 
weight of the gas analyzer and the mode of dispatch. When 
shipping overseas, additionally line the box with a double 
layer of bitumen paper. 
4.  Mark the box as "Fragile Goods".
