Visual Examination
Before installing the SGOES, examine the unit to ensure that:
•
The nameplates and warning labels are in place.
•
The external surfaces and joined surfaces of the SGOES casing are free of dents or
damage.
•
Make sure all removable parts are joined to the casing as tightly as possible.
Guidelines for
locating the SGOES
There are no standard rules for selection and placement of sensors since the optimum
sensor choice location is unique for each application. Before installing the SGOES, check
the conditions at the installation site to make a placement determination.
The following guidelines can assist in determining the best possible placement of the
SGOES:
•
Locate the SGOES detectors near potential gas leak sources and away from
excessive heat, light, wind, dust, water, vibration, shock, and radio frequency
interference (RFI).
•
Ensure the installation location has sufficient space to accommodate the
SGOES housing and all necessary cabling.
•
Mount the SGOES detector pointing horizontally
Preparing For Installation
•
Before installation, evaluate the gas leak locations and other conditions such as
wind or air currents at the test site and configure the unit for that particular need.
Also, be sure to consult local installation codes.
Selection of gas sensor location is critical to the overall performance of the SGOES. Five
factors play an important role in the selection of sensor locations:
•
Density of the gas to be detected
•
Most probable leak sources within the industrial process
•
Ventilation and prevailing wind conditions
•
Personnel exposure
•
Maintenance access
