2. Support gases for the instrument should be located near the analyzer.
A uniform temperature environment for cylinders and regulators is es-
sential in order to keep constant pressure and flow rate. Always keep gas
containers inside the building where temperature fluctuations are at a
minimum.
3. Have adequate ventilation around the instrument area without any
high flow velocity draft directly onto the instrument. If a combustible gas
stream is connected to the instrument it is essential to have proper vent-
ing to avoid any possible explosion hazards. Be sure not to block any vent
slots in the rear or top of the analyzer since limited air circulation will
cause overheating and poor performance.
4. Gas Purifiers for support gases should be installed within 20-30 feet (6-9
Meters) or less from the analyzer. This minimizes tubing length and the
amount of impurities picked up from the lines
5. All connections to the instrument should be made with 1/16th inch
stainless steel tubing (maximum 0.030” ID). Coil some extra 1/16th inch
gas lines behind the analyzer. This allows for flexibility when moving or
turning the instrument for service and routine maintenance.
6. Situate the analyzer in such a way that there is always access to the
rear panel for easy hook up of the gases, as well as ease of service compo-
nents. Allow approximately 30 inches service clearance at the rear of the
5ta5000R instrument
Electrical Preparations and Connections
Always verify that the voltage on the label located on the rear of the
instrument matches the supplied power before connecting.
1. The electrical requirements for the ta5000R Gas Analyzer can be 100,
115, 220, or 240 VAC, and 50 or 60 Hz, depending on the voltage option
ordered. AC power must be free from cyclic RMS voltage variations,
spikes or drops greater than 1.5%. A minimum of 5 amperes current must
be available.
2. Good grounding of the AC power circuit is required, verify proper
receptacle grounding before connecting the instrument.
3. It is recommended to connect the analyzer and low powered accesso-
ries to a dedicated electrical circuit. Do not plug the analyzer into a circuit
that is shared with other equipment with large intermittent current loads.
Line voltage spikes can have detrimental effects on the analytical capabili-
ties. Where there are noisy circuits, a power line conditioner should be
considered to even out spikes and other fluctuations.
