Model 316RA/RB/RAD/RBD Trace Oxygen Analyzer

Installation

Precautions

1. Upon receipt of the Series 316 Oxygen Analyzer, inspect the

entire unit. Read the entire installation section before
installing the analyzer.

2. Do not scratch, puncture, or damage the mesh sensing

membrane of the Micro-Fuel Cell. Damage to the membrane
will require replacement of the sensor.

3. The Micro-Fuel Cell electrolyte is caustic. Avoid contact with

any fluid or powder in or around the cell or unit. Do not let it
come in contact with skin. If it does, immediately flush affected
area with water. Consult the Emergency First Aid procedures in
the Material Safety Data Sheet at the end of the manual. Do not
attempt to open or repair the sensor. Leaking or exhausted
sensors should be disposed of in accordance with local
regulations. Consult the Material Safety Data Sheet at the end
of the manual.

4. The Micro-Fuel Cell must be installed before operating the

Series 316.

5. The throttle valve and the shutoff valve should remain closed

until the analyzer is installed and ready to use.

6. All accessory hardware and fittings upstream from the analyzer

should be leak-tested under pressure before start-up to prevent
false readings upon start-up.

7. Check electrical wiring installation against the Interconnection

Diagram (dwg. A-33140) before start-up to prevent accidental
wiring transposition.
