Location and Installation
Serious consideration should be given when selecting the installation site for the carbon
tower, as an improper location could directly affect the proper operation of the carbon tower.
This unit is not suitable to be used in explosive atmospheres, where risk of fire could exist, in
the presence of gaseous or solid pollutants or in outdoor applications or areas exposed to the
elements.
Do not use water to extinguish fire on the unit or in the surrounding area.
Machine level noise at the area of installation could be higher than 85 dBA. Install the unit
in a dedicated area where people are not normally present. The installer and/or end user is
responsible to install proper safety signs at the installation site.
Technicians servicing the carbon tower in an area with excessive noise must wear hearing and
eye protection. Each employee must select a proper personal protection device (PPD) hearing
protector such as earmuffs, ear canal caps, or earplugs in order to prevent permanent hearing
damage or loss.
Minimum Installation Requirements:
+
Select a clean, dry room that is free of dust and protected from atmospheric disturbances.
