Source container FQG60
Hauser 15
Installation
Incoming acceptance,
transport
The radiation source container also serves as Type-A packaging (IATA rules) for the radiation source.
For transport, it is protected in the box by foam packaging.
Package dimensions: 375 x 330 x 275 mm (14.8 x 13 x 10.8 in)
CAUTION
!
Don’t use bow-type handles for transportation
‣ Only use the bow-type handles (3) of the shutter to remove the source container from the
packaging by hand.
‣ To transport the source container, use the slots on the fastening lug, e.g. with a lifting eye.
A0018493
1 Lifting eye
2 Fastening lug
3 Handles
Mounting hints The radiation source container can be mounted in one of the following ways:
• Using L-profiles or a mounting plate (not pressurized and not in contact with the process) directly
on the vessel or pipe ( 

• On an external construction with low to zero vibration.
• Directly on the pipe at the customer's site using the clamping device FHG61 ( 

CAUTION
!
Mounting of source container
‣ All maintenance such as mounting, removal or replacement of the radioactive source may only be
carried out by supervised personnel who have been specially trained in radiation procedures
according to local regulations or the handling permit. Ensure that this is allowed in the handling
permit. Local conditions are to be observed.
‣ All work must be carried out as quickly as possible and from a distance as large as possible
(shielding!). Safety procedures (e.g. blocking of access) must also be carried out to protect
personnel from all possible risks.
‣ Mounting and dismounting is only allowed in the "OFF" position, secured by the padlock..
‣ Take into account the weight of the radiation source container: max. 18 kg (39.69 lbs).
‣ To ensure the correct operation of the switch-ON/switch-OFF function, no parts of the vessel, pipe
and clamping device may project into the area of the shutter. If the unit is secured via the mounting
holes ø11 mm (0.43 in) this should not warp or damage the metal housing.
‣ If using the device in non-stationary systems, appropriate measures must be taken to ensure the
device cannot be lost, and to protect it from collision and impact.
‣ If using methods other than the mounting plate or L-profiles to secure the device, we recommend
the use of the clamping device FHG61.
‣ Mounting instructions are provided in the documentation:
SD00330F/00 and SD0331F/00.
