Installation
G E N E R A L
The size of the analyzer allows for ease of installation and service. The analyzer was built to be robust
and to handle rugged environmental conditions. The instructions below are for a typical installation. If
you have any doubts or questions regarding a particular installation, consult our applications engineer at
the factory at (800) 344-0321.
CAUTION: APPROPRIATE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BE OBSERVED
WHEN INSTALLING IN A POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS AREA.
P R E C A U T I O N S
To insure accurate operation of the instrument, the following precautions must be taken. The instrument
should be shaded from mid-day sun conditions. Direct radiant sun energy on a hot day can cause
overheating. Internal temperatures over 140°F (60°C) must be avoided. A sunshade, as discussed later,
should be utilized.
Line voltage surge protectors are provided. Infrared Industries may include additional protection
devices at the time of installation, if deemed necessary.
M E C H A N I C A L
This analyzer is designed to be mounted vertically on a wall or panel (see Figure 2: IR-8400D Series
Outline Dimensions).
You must provide room for access to the instrument on both the bottom and right-hand side (as viewed
from facing the front panel). This allows for connections to the gas sample inlet and outlet, and to the
electrical junction box on the bottom.
A sunshade is required to protect the instrument from excessive radiant heating. Requirements for the
sunshade will vary with geographical location. The primary consideration is shielding from the warmest
or mid-day sun. Internal analyzer temperatures must not exceed 140°F (60°C).
