Section 4: Unpacking and Installation
4.1 Unpacking
Carefully unpack the equipment and inspect it for damage during
shipment. Retain all cartons and packaging materials until the
unit is operated and found to be in good condition. If damage has
occurred during shipping, notify the carrier and ATS immediately. If
it is necessary to file a damage claim, retain the packing materials
for inspection by the carrier.
4.2 Installation
1. Use an overhead crane or forklift to remove the PAV from the
crate and position it in the desired location.
2. Position the PAV in the testing position, such as on the PAV
heavy-duty steel stand or on a workbench or lift cart.
CAUTION: All supporting and contacting surfaces must
be nonflammable. Do not allow flammable materials to
contact the shell.
3. Level the PAV by adjusting the screws on the four feet.
4. Inspect the O-ring seal. Make sure it is clean and lightly coated
with silicone grease. If the O-ring appears to be worn or damaged,
contact ATS.
4.3 Pan Holder Leveling
1. Once the PAV is in place, verify that the ring located inside the
bottom of the pressure vessel is level by placing the parallel bar
and a level across the top of the leveling ring.
WARNING: When placing the level and the parallel bar
onto the ring, do not interfere with the RTD located in
the bottom of the pressure vessel. The RTD is factory-set
and should not be moved.
2. If the level indicates that the ring is not evenly balanced, make
the necessary corrections by rotating the three vertical-set screws
to lower or raise the ring. Use a 1/8” hex wrench to make this
adjustment.
