Installation
3.1 Selecting a location
The CL4/CL8 should be placed in a location as central as possible to the locations being monitored while
considering the following restrictions:
•
The maximum sample line length is 300 ft. Using the shortest possible sample line length will reduce
transport times and increase the response time of the CL4/CL8.
(see Appendix C)
•
A/C power is required to the unit.
•
Locate near proper ventilation keeping in mind the maximum length of the exhaust
•
tubing is 25ft.
•
The CL4/CL8 requires stable temperature and humidity levels within range to operate properly.
Recommendations
Do not place in a location which will expose the CL4/CL8 to moisture, dust, corrosive gas, or any unusual
environmental conditions which could damage the unit and/or cause it to operate inaccurately.
3.1.1 Lifting Instructions
It is recommended that installation of this unit requires the help of 3 individuals. Two individuals should lift
the unit into its desired location while the third person secures the device into a mounted position. If the
device must be manually handled, follow the following steps each time:
1. Size up the Load
•
Check if the weight of the object is listed on it
•
If not, push, pull, gently kick or rock the object to be moved before you attempt to move it
–
get a feel
for its weight, size and shape
•
Check whether the weight is evenly distributed
•
Recognize what your own limits are and stick to these limits
Ensure the area is clear
•
Work out where the load is going
•
Ensure that your intended pathway is clear and free of obstacles
•
Make sure that your vision will not be blocked when moving large objects
Position your feet correctly
•
Place your feet a comfortable distance apart (shoulder width). A broader base of support increases
stability. With a narrow base of support with your feet too close together, you are more likely to lose
your balance.
•
Point your feet in the direction that you intend to travel
•
Always turn with your feet, not your hips or shoulders. Never twist as you move or go to lift!
Get as close to the load as possible
•
Walk over to the load

don’t stand still and reach for it
