Transport and storage
12
Before moving a detector, make sure that the covers are properly attached:
the front cover cancels 3 fixing screws for the rear cover (out of the 5 screws in total):
make sure that these 3 screws are in place and properly tightened.
make sure that all the fixing screws for the covers on the detector frame (5 screws for
the rear cover and 4 for the front cover) are in place and properly tightened.
To lift the detector:
use a lifting device appropriate for the product's weight,
use a 3-section strap with the following characteristics:
– length of each section > 500 mm
– load per section > 100 kg
3.2 Storage
Storing a new product If a new detector must be stored for more than three months:
leave it in its packaging
leave the blanked-off flange in place on the inlet port,
store it in a clean, dry environment for a maximum of 3 months, in accordance with
the temperature conditions specified in the Technical Characteristics (see 11.2).
Beyond 3 months, factors such as temperature, humidity, salt in the air, etc., could dam-
age some components (elastomers, lubricants, etc.). If this happens, contact your ser-
vice center.
Extended storage Recommended shutdown procedure before extended storage:
Place the blanked-off flange on the inlet port.
In the [Test] menu, check:
– that the ’hard vacuum’ test method is selected,
– that the air inlet valve is set to ’Operator’
Start a test by pressing : wait until the detector reaches the most sensitive test
mode.
Stop the test by pressing .
Shut down the detector: circuit breaker at 0.
Wait for the control panel turn off.
Unplug the power cable.
In this way, the detector is under a vacuum, reducing the degassing time spent when it
is switched on again.
