2 SET UP & INSTALLATION
The installation sequence described in this section applies to the hardware portion of
configuring a
flexiVent FX instrument for use in a UnitWise system. Customized installation
procedures may be required for some application-specific configurations. Please read the set
up and installation instructions for all of your system components before proceeding.
When carrying or moving the
flexiVent
, always ensure that the device is kept
horizontal and supported by two hands underneath the unit.
2.1 SELECTING A LOCATION
The
flexiVent
FX requires approximately 2’ x 2’ (60 x 60 cm) of level workspace near the data
acquisition workstation. The
flexiVent
needs to connect to at least one power outlet (more may
be necessary if your instrument includes certain hardware extensions). Your workstation likely
requires two outlets, one for the monitor and one for the CPU. With these electricity
requirements in mind, select a location for your workstation and
flexiVent FX that has at least
three outlets, adequate workspace and that allows all users to easily access all connections
present on the
flexiVent
FX.
2.2 PREPARING FOR INSTALLATION
When the shipment arrives, carefully remove the
flexiVent
FX from the boxes and packaging.
These should be kept, if possible, as they may be used for future transportation of the system
(e.g. routine maintenance) or to prevent any damages to the instrument when it is not used for
