Step 3: Select a Location for the Analyzer
The Sievers 900 On-Line TOC Analyzer is designed to be mounted on a wall or support stand. For an
illustration of required clearances, see Figure 2. Allow a minimum of 5 cm clearance between the
back of the Analyzer and the wall for heat dissipation; allow 30.5 cm of clearance on the sides, top,
and bottom of the analyzer for the plumbing and electrical connections. Additionally, this
clearance provides for the proper circulation for temperature and humidity control. When selecting
the location, mount the Analyzer so that the display screen is approximately at eye-level.
Hardware for mounting the Analyzer on a wall or instrument rack is not included in the accessories
kit. Hardware should be selected based on site-specific circumstances. Mounting hardware must
be able to support four times the weight of the unit; thus you should install mounting bolts capable
of supporting 64.20 kg (141.50 lbs).
Avoid direct sunlight and extreme temperatures; operating at elevated temperatures (greater than
40 °C) prevents proper operation, and operating at low temperatures (10 °C) can cause errors in the
measurements.
The 900 On-Line Analyzer withstands the hazards of industrial process environments, and the
Analyzer enclosure is rated IP 45.
