SECTION 2 INSTALLATION
2.1 UNPACKING AND INSPECTION
Inspect the outside of the shipping carton for damage. If damage is detected, contact the carrier
immediately. Remove the instrument from the shipping container. Be careful not to discard any
parts or supplies. Confirm that all items on the packing list are present. Inspect all assemblies
and components for damage. The basic 6500 Environmental Process Monitor is shipped with the
following major components.
‰ 6500 Monitor and mounting hardware
‰ 6506 Desiccant Kit
‰ 065926 Conduit Fittings (3)
‰ 065921 Industrial Encapsulant (sealer for conduit fittings)
‰ 065927 Knockout Plugs (2)
‰ 065902 Operations Manual
‰ 065979 Field Operation Guide
If you ordered a 6-Series Sonde and/or reagents, these may be shipped separately. For optional
accessories information see Appendix D, Accessories.
If any parts are damaged or missing, contact your factory representative immediately. If you do
not know from which dealer your 6500 Environmental Process Monitor was purchased, refer to
Section 7, Warranty and Service Information. Check the monitor for any obvious external
damage.
Save the original packing cartons and materials. Carriers typically require proof of damage due
to mishandling. Also, if it is necessary to return the monitor, you should pack the equipment in
the same manner it was received. Once the system is installed and working, maintaining original
cartons and packing material is less critical.
If the monitor, sonde and associated components match the packing list and the components
appear to be in satisfactory condition, proceed to the installation sections below.
WARNING!
To avoid severe personal injury or damage to the equipment, installation, operation and service
should be performed by qualified personnel who are thoroughly familiar with the entire contents
of this manual.
2.2 SELECTING AN INSTALLATION LOCATION
The 6500 Monitoring System is an on-line continuous measurement tool that can provide
valuable insight into your facility’s operation and performance. As with any instrument of this
type, proper installation is the first important step to ensure you are provided with reliable
performance and accurate data. Installation of the monitor and sonde should be carefully planned
in advance to obtain the most effective and accurate utilization of the equipment.
