Safety Manual 3–1
3 - EQUIPMENT INSTALLATION
The information in this chapter is related to safety during the equipment
installation.
Mounting the Analyzer
The SS2100 is manufactured for wall or Unistrut
®
(or equivalent) metal framing
installations. Refer to the drawings provided in the hardware manual for
detailed mounting dimensions of the purchased SS2100 analyzer model.
Lifting/carrying the analyzer
Due to the analyzer’s size and weight (59 Kg./130 lbs.), SpectraSensors
recommends the use of a forklift, pallet jack, etc. to lift and/or move the
analyzer. If the analyzer is to be lifted by hand, designate multiple individuals
and distribute the weight among personnel to avoid injury.
Before removing from the crate, move the analyzer as close as possible to the
final installation location. Never lift the analyzer by the electronics enclosure or
SpectraSensors Class 1 Division II analyzers use a non-incendive
protection method, and as such all portions of the local installation
codes apply. The maximum allowed inductance to resistance ratio
(L/R ratio) for the field wiring interface must be less than 25
µH/Ω. The maximum total loop capacitance shall be 0.27
microfarads.
The safety of the analyzer is the responsibility of the installer and
the organization he/she represents.
Configurations requiring optional accessories, e.g., probe
assemblies, with specific characteristics must meet manufacturer
specifications.
SpectraSensors analyzers are designed for operation within the
specified ambient temperature range. Intense sun exposure in
some areas may cause the analyzer temperature to exceed the
maximum.
When mounting the analyzer, be sure to position the instrument
so that it is not difficult to operate adjacent devices. Allow three
feet (1 meter) of room in front of the analyzer.
