THE SOLE PROPERTY OF SIA MIPEX. ANY REPRODUCTION WITHOUT THE WRITTEN PERMISSION OF SIA MIPEX IS PROHIBITED.
5. INSTALLATION AND SERVICE
•
Sensor housing maximum capacitance of ungrounded metal frame equal
17.4 pF.
•
Sensor must be mounted using sockets only, as soldering its pins may
damage sensor.
•
It is not allowed to use excessive pressure on sensor housing. Maximum
allowable pressure on the central part of sensor reflecting cover or on sensor
side surface – 2 MPa, on sensor upper edge – 100 MPa.
•
Span calibration is necessary during sensor’s initial installation into gas
analyzers and during preparation for the equipment checking. Manual zeroing
must be performed after prolonged storage without power supply, after
transportation as well as after dust filter is applied (see Appendix D.1).
•
It is required to perform span calibration at least once in 30 months.
5.1. Preparation
•
If sensor has been kept in transport containers at temperatures below zero centigrade,
leave it at +10…+35 °C for not less than one hour.
•
Remove the packaging. Check presence of the certification markings; make sure there
are no mechanical injuries on sensor surfaces.
5.2. Mounting
It is recommended to use the following sockets or similar for sensor mounting:
•
Cambion 450-3729-01-06-00;
•
Cambion 450-3704-01-06-00;
•
Harwin H3183-05.
Sensor pinout is shown in Appendix A, Table 7.
End user instrument design has to provide that sensor is free of excessive pressure on its
housing, ingress of dust, dirt and condensed moisture, as these factors may affect the accuracy of
measurement. It is recommended to use dust filter (available as an option; see Appendix E). Filter
has to be checked regularly and replaced when fouling is significant.
