III. GENERAL INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
3.1 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. Inter
s
ystems' responsibility for the equipment ended with
acceptance by the delivering carrier. Refer to the bill of lading.
3.2 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).
3.3 Location
The GSS-U sampler is typically mounted horizontally onto a vertical gravity flow conveying line carrying the product
to be sampled as in Figure 2-1. The sampler axis must be installed perpendicular (at a 90 degree angle) 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 Inter
s
ystems 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.
3.4 General Mounting Guidelines
The sampler assembly is designed to support ONLY its own weight.
DANGER
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.
