Installation
Installation of the GC-Pro TCD Analyzer includes:
1. Unpacking
2. Mounting
3. Gas connections
4. Electrical connections
5. Testing the system.
3.1 Unpacking the Analyzer
Although the analyzer is shipped with all the materials you need to
install and prepare the system for operation. Carefully unpack the
analyzer and inspect it for damage. Immediately report any damage or
shortages to the shipping agent.
3.2 Mounting the Analyzer
The GC-Pro TCD analyzer is a general-purpose analyzer and as such
is designed with (non-sealed) enclosures. It must be installed in an area
where the ambient temperature is not permitted to drop below 32ºF or
rise above 100ºF. In areas outside these temperatures, auxiliary
heating/cooling must be supplied. The enclosure is oil and dust resistant
and although it is designed to resist moisture, it should NOT be
considered completely watertight. Mounting must be made securely.
Avoid locations that are subject to extreme vibration and sway.
Sufficient space must be provided around and above the analyzer to
accommodate the necessary electrical conduit and plumbing connections
and top cover removal. The top cover must be allowed to be lifted off for
possible service access to all components within the enclosure. Refer to
the system/analyzer outline drawings for dimensions.
Regardless of configuration, the analyzer/system must be installed
on a level surface with sufficient space allocated on either side for
