INSTALLATION

2.4 Installation

Instructions

2.4.1 Recommended Installation Environment

When choosing an installation site for the probe, consider the environment around it.

Ensure that the site:

•

is clear of nearby obstructions which could limit air circulation to the

probe

•

is away from any hot or cold spots - i.e. air conditioning or heater vents

•

is not adjacent to any high power sources

•

is representative of the surrounding environment at the point of interest

The acceptable operating conditions for the sensor are detailed in

Figure 4.

Acceptable Operating Conditions

2.4.2 Element Filter Assembly Environment

The PVDF

lter element protects the sensor against particulate contamination and the

effects of high velocity air-

ow.

To ensure good air-

ow to the sensor it is recommended to regularly clean the

lter

element. See Section 6.1 for more details.

The HS3 Probe can be equipped with the following

lter model

• F1

PVDF (12mm diameter) black cap assembly

•

F2 - 13mm (0.51”) HDPE protection cap
