Installation
4.1 Location Considerations
Take extra time in selecting a location since the installation location will determine
the ease of the installation and future operation and maintenance. The location
where the WG-602 FCL is installed is dependent on various considerations:
Convenient access
–
The WG-602 FCL should be installed where it can easily be
viewed and operated.
Dry area
–
The WG-602 FCL requires a clean, dry area for safe operation and
electrical connections.
Minimum distance from supply pipe -
The water sampling line that is connected to
the main pipe should be as short as possible. A long sample line creates as
unnecessary delay between supply and measurement.
Drainage
– The installation location requires the sample water outlet of the acrylic
flow cell to be disposed at gravity drain.
Freezing Temperatures
– The WG-602 FCL should be installed in a location that is
not susceptible to freezing temperatures. The sample water may freeze, and
components may be damaged due to expansion when ice forms.
4.2 Site Requirements and Installation
The WG-602 FCL assembly is wall mounted. The complete unit with all the
connections weighs 9 kg (about 20 lbs.), so it must be mounted securely onto a
stable wall. The mounting board measures is 800 X 550 mm (31.5'' X 21.7''). The
base of the complete unit assembly should be mounted at least 60 cm (24'') above
the floor (preferably at eye level), to allow ease of operation and maintenance.
The WG-602 FCL unit and its mounting panel are not shipped with mounting screws
or anchors. The installer must provide screws and anchors that can hold the weight
of the complete unit. The screws and anchors must be compatible with the wall
where it will be installed.
4.2.1 Mechanical Installation
The WG-602 FCL is shipped pre-mounted on a mounting panel, along with pre-filter
and pressure regulator. The mounting panel includes four screw holes, compatible
with 5/16'' (8 mm) screws, one in each corner.
1. Determine the location of one hole on the mounting panel.
2. Secure one corner of the mounting panel to the wall.
3. Level the mounting panel and mark the remaining three (3) screw holes.
4. Secure the remaining corners to the wall using 5/16'' (8mm) screws.
