1.4  Equipment installation

Users typically install the flare.IQ Gen 2 inside an  

industrial control room that may include a plant  

distributed control system (DCS), which controls multiple 

flare system components such as flare, purge and assist 

(steam/air) flow meters, valves, online BTU analyzers (e.g. 

gas chromatographs, calorimeters) and temperature 

and pressure regulators. It is intended for use in an office 

environment with adequate temperature and RH controls.
This section contains information and instructions for 

installing the flare.IQ Gen 2 in a plant (DCS) control room, 

while considering all the above factors. Chapter 4 describes 

in detail how to set up and connect the flare.IQ to the DCS. 

If you have questions about the installation procedures, 

contact our technical support department. See the rear 

cover of this manual for contact information.

WARNING! 

Installation shall be in an enclosed rack that 

requires tool access.

You should discuss environmental and installation factors 

with a Panametrics applications engineer or field service by 

the time you receive the hardware. The equipment provided 

should be suited to your application and installation site.  

The flare.IQ Gen 2 is available only in a 19” rack-mount 

version suitable for most indoor installations.
The power connections and power supplies are accessible 

from the backside of the rack mount panel as shown in 

figure 3. The end user brings in a non-detachable power 

cord per the detailed specifications provided in Section 4.1.

WARNING! 

Provisions have been made for landing 

protective earth connection on appropriately 

marked DIN rail mounted grounding modules 

as shown in figure 4. The ground module  

is electrically connected to the DIN rail,  

which in turn is connected to the chassis 

via a PEM fastener. The power cord’s ground 

wire (25 – 14 AWG) terminates singly in the 

protective earth grounding module (figure 4) 

which includes captive screws.

Figure 5 provides a detailed explanation of all the  

warning symbols and labels applied to the flare.IQ  

Gen 2 hardware. In addition to following all installation  

and operation instructions in this user manual, be sure 

to follow all applicable safety codes and regulations for 

installing electrical equipment in your area.
