2. Installation
2.1 Receiving
Upon receipt of the unit, inspect the shipping cartons for signs of visible damage. Report any damage
to the carrier and note it on the receipt. The unit must be stored in a dry, secure place prior to its
installation and use. Store the unit in its original shipping carton.
2.2 Unpacking
To unpack the equipment, carefully remove the unit from its shipping container(s) in order to prevent
damage to sensitive electrical components.
DO NOT use the coalescing filter assembly to lift the
unit as damage may occur. If any damage is found, report it to the shipper immediately. Search
through all packing material and containers to avoid inadvertently discarding usable or valuable
items. Report any item shortages immediately to MSA.
Using a screwdriver, open the door by turning 1/4 turn latches on the front of the door counter
clockwise (see Installation Drawing). Remove any packing material that may be found inside the
unit. Carefully inspect components and assemblies inside the unit. If damage or item shortage is
evident, advise the carrier. Remove the coalescing filter plug
2.3 Instrument Location Guidelines
The instrument’s performance is dependent on its location. Follow the guidelines below when
mounting the unit.
1. Acquire the appropriate hardware and locate the unit where personnel will see the display before
they enter the area being monitored.
2. Always mount the unit vertically with the display at eye level.
3. Do not mount the unit to structures subject to vibration and/or shock.
4. Do not locate the unit near an excessive heat source or in wet or damp locations.
5. Do not mount the unit in direct sunlight.
6. For proper cooling, allow at least six inches of clearance around all surfaces of the unit. Insure
that the cooling intakes on the base of the unit are free from obstructions that could block the flow of
air. The cooling exhaust hood on the top of the unit should be unobstructed and positioned off the
mounting surface as far as feasible for the installation.
7. Allow for unimpeded operation of the front door (see Installation Drawing) to allow access for
service and calibration.
