You should have discussed environmental and installation factors
with a GE Panametrics applications engineer or field sales person by
the time you receive the meter. The equipment should be suited to the
application and installation site.
The Series 1 is available in rack, bench, or panel mounts that are
suitable for most indoor installations. GE Panametrics also provides
weatherproof and explosion-proof housings for outdoor and
hazardous area locations. See the drawings at the end of this chapter
for an example of each enclosure.
Before installing the unit, read the guidelines below to verify that you
have selected the best installation site.
To comply with the Low Voltage Directive, you must install a switch
or circuit breaker on the input power line. For greatest safety, locate
the circuit breaker or power switch near the electronics console.
Division 2 applications may require special
installation. Consult the National Electric Code
for proper installation requirements. The analyzer
must be configured in a suitable equipment
enclosure and installed per the National Electric
Code Article 500 applicable sections which pertain
to the hazardous environment classification in
which the electronics will be used.
Rack, bench, and panel Series 1 units, s/n 2000 and above, and WPF
Series 1 units, s/n 2300 and above, are BASEEFA certified to supply
intrinsically safe levels. Installation requires that the Series 1 be
mounted in a general purpose area only. M Series, TF Series, and
Moisture Image Series probes and Delta F oxygen cells are
intrinsically safe when connected to the Series 1, allowing for sensor
installation in IEC/CENELEC zone 0 areas.
Newer versions of rack, bench, panel and WPF Series 1 units are
CSA-NRTL certified intrinsically safe. Installation requires that the
Series 1 be mounted in either a NEC CL.1, Div. 2, Group B, C or D
hazardous area or a general purpose area. M Series, TF Series, and
Moisture Image Series probes and Delta F oxygen cells are
intrinsically safe when connected to the Series 1, allowing for sensor
installation in NEC CL.1, Div. 1, Groups A, B, C and D hazardous
areas.
Note: Refer to certification labels on your instrument and
installation drawing #752-158 to determine the applicable
level of certification that your meter carries.
