MSA Ultima X Series Instruction Manual

Installing Your Gas Monitor
NOTE: Reference installation outline drawings listed in
Chapter 3, "Specifications".
Generally, the Ultima X Series Gas Monitors or remote sensing
module should be mounted close to the area where a leak is
likely to occur or where the gas is expected. Install the Ultima X
Series Gas Monitors or the remote sensing module at a high
level (ceiling) or low level (floor), depending on the density of the
gas most likely to be found. Install the unit so that the front
display of the unit is not blocked or hidden from view.

CAUTION
Mount the Ultima XE or XA Gas Monitor or remote sensing module
with the sensor inlet fitting (FIGURE 1-1, 1-2, 1-4 or 1-5) pointed
downwards; otherwise, the inlet may become clogged with
particulate matter or liquids.
Mount the Ultima XIR Gas Monitor or Remote Sensing Module with
the sensor inlet fitting extended horizontally from the main enclosure
(FIGURE 1-3 and 1-6) to help prevent the build-up of particulate
or liquid matter on the monitor’s optical surfaces.
Do not paint the Ultima X Series Gas Monitors. If painting is done
in an area where a sensor is located, exercise CAUTION to ensure
paint is not deposited on the sensor inlet fitting. Such paint deposits
would interfere with the diffusion process, whereby a sample of
the monitored atmosphere diffuses into the sensor. In addition,
solvents in the paint may cause an alarm condition to occur.
Protect the Ultima X Series Gas Monitors from extreme vibration. Do
not mount sensing head in direct sunlight as this may cause overheating
of the sensor.

WARNING
Do not locate the general-purpose enclosure models in an area
which may contain a flammable mixture of gas and air; otherwise,
an explosion may occur. The general-purpose Ultima X Series Gas
Monitors can be a source of ignition and must not be mounted in
an area where a flammable mixture of combustible gas and air
may become present; otherwise, an explosion may occur. If such
a location must be monitored, use an explosion-proof gas monitor.
