Packing
SpectraSensors analyzer systems and auxiliary equipment are shipped from
the factory in appropriate packaging. Depending on the size and weight, the
packaging may consist of a cardboard-skinned container or a wooden crate. All
inlets and vents are capped and protected when packaged for shipment.
If the equipment is to be shipped or stored for any length of time, it should be
packed in the original packaging when shipped when shipped from the factory,
if possible. If the analyzer has been installed and or operated (even for
purposes of a demonstration), the system should first be decontaminated
(purged with an inert gas) before powering down the analyzer.
Topurgetheanalyzerforshipmentorrelocation
1. Refer to the procedure “To isolate the analyzer for long-term
shutdown (full-featured sample system)” on page 4-10.
2. Disconnect the sample tubing at the inlet to the analyzer.
3. Connect clean, dry nitrogen to the sample inlet. Set to 30 PSIG.
4. Open any valves downstream from the analyzer to ensure nitrogen
flow through both the sample cell and bypass.
5. Allow the analyzer to purge for 20 minutes.
6. Shut off the nitrogen purge and disconnect.
7. Close any shut-off valves downstream to isolate the analyzer from
vent or low pressure flare.
8. Cap off all connections.
Topreparetheanalyzerforshipmentorstorage
1. Follow all instructions "To purge the analyzer for shipment or
relocation".
2. Cap all inlets, outlets, vents, conduit or gland openings (to prevent
foreign material such as dust or water from entering the system)
Process samples may contain hazardous material in potentially
flammable and/or toxic concentrations. Personnel should have a
thorough knowledge and understanding of the physical properties
of the sample and prescribed safety precautions before installing,
operating or maintaining the analyzer.
