Pre-Installation System Requirements
1-6. Storage of detector after removal
•
After the cooling tank has been filled at installation, serious damage will be caused if the temperature
is allowed to fall below freezing point. If after installation you have to remove the detector and store it
in an environment which can fall below freezing point, you must ensure that you remove all of the
coolant from the detector internal tubes.
•
If the detector is removed from the system and stored again in its original packaging, it can still con-
tain traces of coolant. In this case, the coolant is the limiting factor in the detector storage require-
ments. It is recommended that the detector is stored between 10°C (
50ºF
) and 40°C (
104ºF
). The
temperature is allowed to fall to a minimum of -10°C (
-14ºF
) or rise to a maximum of 50°C (
122ºF
), for
a maximum period of one day.
