5. Installation
Receiving Inspection
Carefully inspect the sampling system for damage as soon as it is received. Also, verify that the quantity
of parts or packages actually received corresponds to the quantity shown on the packing slip. Report any
damage or shortage to the delivering carrier as soon as possible. InterSystems responsibility for the
equipment ended with acceptance by the delivering carrier. Refer to the bill of lading.
Pre-Installation Preparation
NOTE:
Before starting sampling system installation, study this manual, the certified drawing(s) furnished
with the system and other applicable documents (including, but not limited to OSHA Regulations,
the National Electrical Code and all other applicable federal, state and local codes and
regulations).
Location
The GRA sampler is typically mounted vertically into a gravity flowing conveying line carrying the product
to be sampled as shown in
. The sampler axis must be installed parallel to the axis
of the product line for optimum performance. Additionally, the sampler should be located where the
product has a non-turbulent flow pattern. The sampler and associated equipment should be located for
ease of access and maintenance.
The sampler is to be installed only as shown on the certified drawing(s). If an alternate mounting
arrangement is desired contact InterSystems prior to installation for proper guidance. The sampler is
of a general design with modifications specifically for your application. It may be necessary to rework the
sampler in order for it to function properly if you alter the application.
General Mounting Guidelines
1. Locate and mark the desired mounting location of the sampler on the product conveying line.
2. Cut out the section of conveying line 1/16" to 1/8" longer than the length of the sampler.
3. Slip a companion flange over each end of the conveying line.
4. Locate the sampler in the desired position and adequately brace. Braces are to be permanent.
5. Bolt the companion flanges to the sampler and weld companion flanges to the chute.
Sampler cannot support any other equipment or conveying line. Collapse of the
whole system can cause death, serious injury and extensive damage to equipment.
Properly support all spouts, containers and conveying lines.
