3.1 Scope of delivery
Please see the delivery documents for the scope of delivery.
3.2 Preparing the installation location
The persons performing the installation are responsible for the preparation of the installa-
tion location.
● Take the ambient conditions (
p. 101) into account.
● Enclosure dimensions
p. 99, §9.2
● Ensure the load carrying capacity of the floor is adequate (minimum 550 kg/m
2
).
● Set up the MCS100FT in a low-vibration environment whenever possible.
● Set up the MCS100FT as close as possible to the sampling point.
Short sample gas lines result in short lag times.
Maximum length of sample gas line: 35 m.
● Provide a suitable installation location for the test gas cylinders.
Note: Observe local regulations for the installation of gas cylinders.
● Provide a suitable installation location for the pressure regulator unit and (optionally)
the instrument air conditioning system.
● Air outlet:
– The air outlet is located in the MCS100FT lid.
– In the “IP54” version (option), the air outlet is on the right enclosure side.
Do not block the air outlet.
– Leave at least 20 cm clearance.
● Provide (individual) attachments for the system cabinet.
– For installation on gratings: Parts could drop or liquids (e.g. condensate) could drip
and cause injuries.
Provide a suitable base plate.
The connection to the gas supply may only be performed by skilled persons
who, based on their technical training and knowledge as well as knowledge
of the relevant regulations, can assess the tasks given and recognize the
hazards involved.
Also follow all local laws, technical rules and company-internal operating
directives applicable at the respective installation location of the device.
WARNING: Risk of explosions on MCS100FT with FID-100FT
The FID-100FT is supplied with hydrogen. Risk of explosions due to leaky
lines.
Do not plug or block the air outlet.
Do not operate the MCS100FT with FID-100FT in closed rooms
OR
install a hydrogen sensor (H
2
sensor) (< 25% LEL)
