5.1 Detector installation
WARNING
Risk of serious injury due to falling objects
When transporting parts/components and during product maintenance, there is a danger of injury
caused by loads slipping or falling.
►
Carry small and medium-size components with both hands.
►
Transport components that weigh more than 20 kg using suitable lifting gear.
►
Wear safety shoes with steel toes in accordance with directive EN 347.
CAUTION
Risk of crushing related to product tilting
Although the product fully complies with EU safety regulations, there is a risk of tilting when the prod-
uct is not correctly installed or used.
►
Place the product on a flat, hard floor.
►
Keep the product on its 4 feet.
NOTICE
Leak detector ventilation
In cases of poor ventilation, there is a risk of deterioration of the detector’s internal components by
heating.
►
Comply with the ambient operating temperature.
►
Do not obstruct the ventilation grids.
►
Ventilation grids should be cleaned regularly.
►
Leave a free space of at least 10 cm all around the leak detector.
►
Store nothing under the detector.
The inlet pressure must be no higher than atmospheric pressure. Pressure that is too high can damage
the detector.
The detector's performance depends on the type of accessories used and on the quality of the mechan-
ical connections.
►
Comply with these recommendations to optimize measurement (see chapter “Pre-requisites for
optimizing use”).
►
Choose the location for set up according to the dimensions of the detector (see chapter “Dimen-
sions”).
►
Handle the detector using the handling device (see chapter “Handling”).
►
The leak detector must be installed on a horizontal flat surface.
►
Make sure that the test area is not polluted by the tracer gas (ventilated room).
►
Test that the entire line is completely sealed when the detector is attached to the pumping circuit,
to ensure that the connections are correct (pump, pipes, valves, etc.).
►
When assembling the vacuum circuit, use accessories to shut off the product and make mainte-
nance easier (inlet shut off valves, purge systems, etc.).
