Important Safety Guidelines for the 962-AGX
Acid Gas Analyzer System
Please read the following warnings and cautions carefully before using the 962-AGX Acid Gas
Analyzer System
This equipment must be used as specified by the manufacturer or overall safety
will be impaired.
Access to this equipment should be limited to authorized, trained personnel ONLY.
Due to the thermal mass of the hardware, cooling of the items takes substantial
time.
Observe all warning labels on the analyzer enclosures.
The analog outputs and alarm relay contacts may be powered by a source separate from the
one (s) used to power the analyzer system. Disconnecting the AC Mains Source (s) may not
remove power from the analog output signals or the alarm relay contacts .
Any safety recommendations or comments contained herein are suggested guidelines only.
Galvanic Applied Sciences Inc. bears no responsibility and assumes no liability for the use and/or
implementation of these suggested procedures.
This system, when operating in its normal mode, and/or when it is being serviced, maintained,
installed and commissioned contains items which may be hazardous to humans if handled or
operated incorrectly or negligently. These hazards include, but are not limited to;
• High Voltage Electrical Energy
•
Toxic and Explosive Gases
•
Intense Ultraviolet Radiation
• High Temperature Surfaces
Access to this equipment should be limited to only to authorized, trained
personnel.
Installation of the system requires the opening of the process access point (sample access) to
allow for flow of the acid gas sample. To achieve this, stainless steel tubing and Swagelok
®
fittings are used. When connections are made, toxic gases may be expelled to the atmosphere
until the system sample probe and its associated flange are in place and securely fastened.
It is recommended that the personnel installing the sample and vent connections wear plant
approved breathing air apparatus, and approved personal protective equipment (i.e. gloves,
coveralls and protective eye wear) suitable for high temperature work. The user’s company
safety procedures must be followed when installing the analyzer.
