Observe the following guidelines when selecting an analyzer installa-
tion location:
1. Select a readily accessible position for the analyzer to allow for routine
maintenance. Comfort levels for maintenance personnel should be
considered in placement of the sensor and control interface.
2. The installation location should be free from excessive vibration and
the ambient temperature is required to be within the limits listed in
the specifications appendix contained in this manual. If the ambient
temperature is outside the specified limits or the vibration is excessive,
please contact Thermox Sales or Service Department at 412.828.9040.
Mounting the Sensor
The WDG-V
RM
sensor mounts in a 19” rack (Figure 3-1). The unit is serviced through
a removable top panel. Gas connections should have sufficient service loop to allow
access. Optional rack slides facilitate service access (see Figure 3-2.).
The sensor should be located as close to the sampling system as possible. The ambi-
ent temperature must be in the range of -25 to 50°C (-13 to 122°F).
It is recommended that at least 3” of open space be supplied above the instrument
in the rack. Placing another analyzer directly above could cause overheating of the
WDG-V
RM
electronics, or the instrument sitting above the WDG-V
