5.4 Mounting of XDS Process Enclosure
These steps explain physical mounting of the XDS Process Enclosure. Note that the enclosure may
weigh as much as 135 pounds (60.8kg). It is imperative that the installers take precautions to avoid
injury during installation.
1. Select a mounting area with a minimum of transmitted vibration which could affect the
instrument.
2. Verify that the mounting area is able to support the full weight of the instrument, including
options. Consider dynamic loading if the area is subject to unusual conditions.
The Purged XDS Process Analytics Instrument is shown for reference. This unit weighs 135
pounds, or 60.8kg.
Lifting Instructions:
Always use a sturdy wheeled cart when
transporting the instrument. It may be
laid on its back for stability, then lifted
upright prior to actual mounting.
The unit may be lifted by two workers
and guided into place by a third. One
worker should be positioned on each
side of the unit, and should hold the
cabinet, not any accessories.
Alternatively, a wide platform may be
placed under the instrument, and the
platform may be lifted.
If using a lift truck or other mechanized
equipment, avoid damage to the
cabinet or installed parts. Always
stabilize the enclosure, so it cannot fall
and sustain damage, or injure a worker.
Always wear safety glasses, safety shoes and
other protective equipment as required.
3. Leave adequate mounting space for all installed options, as well as room for air circulation
and wiring access. Recommended minimum access and mounting space is as follows:
