Installation
The Detector and Flash Source units can be installed and maintained with the use of
general purpose common tools and equipment. The installation procedure has to be
performed by qualified personnel.
2. 1. Introduction
This chapter does not attempt to cover all of the standard practices and codes of
installation. Rather, it emphasizes specific points of consideration and provides some
general rules for qualified personnel. Special safety precautions are stressed wherever
applicable.
The installation is dependent on the installation site. There are two options for site
installation:
1. Standard Installation, where the detector and the Flash Source are mounted in an
open area and the line of sight is utilized.
2. Air Duct Installation, where the detector and the Flash Source are mounted in an
enclosed volume, such as air intakes, pipelines, Air flow ducts etc.,
For each installation option the mounting of Detector and Flash source is identical.
The only difference is in the terminal wiring. Since that, mounting procedures are
given for installation options separately and wiring procedures are given for
Detector or Flash Source separately.

Personnel

give the Detector a direct view of the Source. The mounting point for each item
should be secure and stable with minimal vibrations. Equipment should be either
