7 Installation and initiation
7.1 Installation conditions
The protective gas monitor must be set up in a dry and mainly dust-free
place.
•
A socket, preferably as a separate electrical circuit, must be available
in immediate proximity of the installation place, protected with a 10 A
fuse.
•
No heat sources or appliances which produce strong magnetic fields
(e.g. electric motors, transformers) should be put in the proximity of the
installation place.
•
The SGM5-EL operates in horizontal position.
A vertical placement may cause damage by heat accumulation and is not
permitted.
A liquid entry can lead to severe damage or to the complete destruction
of the device. Do not place any items filled with liquids in immediate
proximity of the SGM5-EL!
7.2 Set-up of operating state
A temperature compensation is required after the transportation of the
SGM5-EL from cold surroundings to a site with higher ambient temperature
or humidity
. A waiting time of about 2 hours
before switching-on must be
considered.
1. Install the SGM5-EL in your favored place (see chapter 7.1).
2. Connect point of measurement and places of gas inlet and outlet of the
SGM5-EL. Pay attention to leak-tightness. For a fast measuring result the
dead volume of the gas lines must be kept low.
3. If a pressure limit is required, install a needle valve directly in front of the
gas inlet (available from manufacturer of the SGM5-EL).
On long transport routes and at unfavorable temperatures the material of
the connecting tubes must rule out any oxygen permeability. The
manufacturer recommends the following materials in dependence on the
measuring conditions:
Material of the
connecting
tubes
Oxygen concentration of < 100 ppm ............... Stainless steel tube.
Silicone can cause measuring inaccuracies because of its oxygen
permeability. Therefore, the manufacturer advises against use.
