Mounting the unit
The Dräger Polytron Pulsar 2 Open Path Gas Detector should be mounted to a
stable structure free of excessive vibration. Good choices would be a steel bulkhead,
brick wall, concrete post or a rigid steel structure. Avoid flimsy metal structures that
may flex, or wooden structures that may warp. In open areas a suitable structure
close to the ground would consist of a five inch nominal (141mm outside diameter)
steel pipe driven 1 metre into firm ground or embedded into a concrete foundation.
Tall structures should be suitably guyed or braced.
