Chapter 2: Installation
Requirements
 Material and power: Consult the specifications for installation
information.

Operating environment: For optimum reliability and equipment life,
we recommend that the analyzer be installed in a location protected
from temperature and weather extremes. The analyzer operates best in a
controlled environment. Ambient temperature and purge air must not
exceed the limits listed in the specifications.
 Mounting requirements: The mounting site must be as close as possible
to the sampling point. The analyzer must be sheltered from extreme
weather conditions. Avoid mounting the analyzer in high vibration
areas. Mount the analyzer in an accessible location.

Cable glands used to supply electrical power must be IP40 rated
metallic cable glands.

Blanking elements or plugs used shall be in accordance with national
standards.
Caution This product is extremely heavy. Care must be taken at all times to
avoid injury. Never attempt to move this product alone or without the use of
lift gear. When handling the analyzer, ensure that all four corners are
supported.

Sample Line
Installation
Note Sample lines into the SOLA II Flare must be heat-traced due to the
potential of high dew-points.
▲
There must be no back pressure on the vent or drain lines. All vents must be
referenced to atmospheric pressure. If the analyzer is installed in a pressurized
analyzer shelter, route all vents from the purge controllers and the PUVF
detector to the exterior of the shelter. All sample lines must be as short as
possible. Sample lines must use pre-cleaned, pre-treated Sulfinert® tubing.
The analyzer will produce erratic readings if backpressure is created or varied by
an obstructed or improperly routed vent.
