Transpector SPS Operating Manual
Chapter 2
Installation
2.1 Installation Overview
The Transpector SPS system is partially disassembled for shipping and must be
re-assembled prior to operation. The Transpector sensor is shipped inside the
Transpector SPS manifold tee, but the remaining components such as the
Transpector electronics module, cable box, Controller, diaphragm foreline pump
and all connecting cables will need to be installed per the instructions in this
chapter:
1
Install the Transpector electronics module, heat guard, and cable box. (See
.)
2
Install sniffers, if applicable. (See
.)
3
Mount Transpector SPS to process tool, if applicable. (See
4
Install the Controller and connect communications cables from the Controller to
the Transpector cable box (See
.)
5
Connect cables on the Transpector cable box to the various Transpector SPS
sub systems, and the control computer. (See
.)
6
Install the Transpector SPS foreline pump. (See
.)
7
Install the software. (See
section 2.9, Software Installation, on page 2-13
.)
2.2 Transpector Electronics Module, Heat Guard, and
Cable Box Installation
The Transpector electronics module and cable box must be mounted in an area
where the ambient temperature does not exceed 50°C (122°F) and there is ample
air flow. Best performance is achieved when the electronics module is not exposed
to wide temperature variations.
2.2.1 Attach Transpector Electronics Module
The Transpector sensor is typically already installed inside the Transpector SPS
Manifold Tee. The Transpector electronics module must be mounted onto the
sensor:
1
The Transpector sensor mounting connector assembly includes a mounting nut
and an O-ring. Place the nut over the end of the sensor and roll the O-ring back
to the groove on the sensor. When the mounting nut is tightened, the O-ring
compresses making a tight fit on the sensor housing.
