5. INSTALLATION
5.1 HANDLING PRECAUTIONS
Even though the LKP Series systems are large and rugged, they should be handled with
the same care as any precision measuring instrument. Severe jolts or bumps to the head
or Metering Unit may cause movement of internal parts, and possibly a malfunction. It is
also advisable to avoid supporting the head halves by the windows insulation. The window
insulation is tough but brittle.
Personnel involved in the installation should be
experienced with equipment of similar size and weight. They should also be
familiar with the technical terms, warnings, and instructions in this manual, and all
plant safety rules, and be able to follow these.
The complete system should be inspected for shipping damage at the earliest opportunity.
Visible damage must be reported to the carrier immediately. Concealed damage (not
evident until the system is operated) must be reported to DynAmp, LLC immediately.
For all handling of the Measuring Head, use a lifting strap capable of withstanding 1000lbs
(454kg)
.
5.2 INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
Read and follow the following considerations before mounting the head. These
considerations and other mounting restrictions and recommendations are detailed in
Technical Bulletin No. 9907.
A.) Choose a mounting location where the ambient air temperature does not exceed 55°C.
The standard head is designed for indoor use only and should be kept away from high
heat and corrosive atmospheres. Also protect the head from direct sunlight as it
causes the head temperature to rise, thus limiting the upper operating range in some
