Chapter 3 – Installation
3.1 Selecting A Location
The CL1/CL2 should be placed in a location as central as possible to the locations being monitored while
considering the following restrictions:
• The maximum sample line length is 150 ft. for all gases other than Diisocyanates.
• Diisocyanates have a 6” maximum sample line length.
• Using the shortest possible sample line length will reduce transport times and increase the response
time of the CL1/CL2.
• A/C power is required to the unit.
• Locate near proper ventilation keeping in mind the maximum length of the exhaust tubing is 25ft.
• The CL1/CL2 requires stable temperature and humidity levels within range to operate properly (see
Appendix C)
NOTE: Options are available for heating or cooling the CL1/CL2 – Contact DOD Technologies for details.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Do not place in a location which will expose the CL1/CL2 to moisture, dust, corrosive gas, or any unusual
environmental conditions which could damage the unit and/or cause it to operate inaccurately.
3.1.1 Lifting Instructions
It is recommended that installation of this unit requires the help of 3 individuals. Two individuals should lift
the unit into its desired location while the third person secures the device into a mounted position. If the
device must be manually handled, follow the following steps each time:
Size up the Load
• Check if the weight of the object is listed on it
• If not, push, pull, gently kick or rock the object to be moved before you attempt to move it – get a feel for its
weight, size and shape
• Check whether the weight is evenly distributed
• Recognize what your own limits are and stick to these limits
Ensure the area is clear
• Work out where the load is going
• Ensure that your intended pathway is clear and free of obstacles
• Make sure that your vision will not be blocked when moving large objects
Position your feet correctly
• Place your feet a comfortable distance apart (shoulder width). A broader base of support increases stability.
With a narrow base of support with your feet too close together, you are more likely to lose your balance.
• Point your feet in the direction that you intend to travel
• Always turn with your feet, not your hips or shoulders. Never twist as you move or go to lift!
