2.2 Surveying the Installation Site
A survey of the site helps you make important
decisions before installing your Vertex System.
Topics in this section assist you with appropriate
placement of the Vertex System and in determining
if you have special filtering needs at the sampling
location.
The site should:
•
Be remote from the monitored location, not
sharing the atmosphere
•
Have sufficient ventilation for cabinet cooling
•
Have power available
•
Be indoors in an area that is not subject to
wide variations in temperature and humidity.

2.2.1 Placement of the Vertex System
Install the Vertex System in an environmentally-
protected setting remote from the manufacturing
or storage locations that it monitors.
You can place the Vertex System up to 400 ft. (122
m) from sample locations.

2.2.2 Exposure to Dust and Humidity
Exposure to corrosive gases or materials, excess
moisture, dust and other unusual environmental
conditions could seriously hamper the unit's
monitoring ability and could cause damage to it.
Allow room around the Vertex System for ventilation
and servicing.
2.2.3 Sample Transport Time
Install the Vertex System central to all 72 sample
locations to achieve equal sample transport times
during monitoring. The shorter the sample line,
the shorter the response time. If monitoring a
critical location, it may be desirable to place the
monitor near that critical area to reduce sample
transport time for that location. See Appendix B,
Specifications, for transport times.
2.2.4 Monitor Dimensions
Monitor dimensions are important factors in monitor
placement. The Vertex System is 24 in. (61 cm)
wide, 34-1/2 in. (88 cm) deep and 76 in. (193 cm) in
height. The system with 9 analyzers weighs about
1000 pounds (454 kg). Allow for 24 in. (61 cm) door
swing; 18 in. (44.3 cm) at rear and 5 in. (12.3 cm)
on sides. Allow clearance above the monitor for
installing sample lines.
