Mounting

The VES-A00-P detector can be mounted in an upright or inverted position. Do not mount the detector with a
sideways orientation as shown in Figure 4-3 below.
Ensure the mounting surface is flat as this allows an air tight seal to be achieved between the sampling pipe
and the tapered air inlet pipes on the detector.
Ensure that there is sufficient clearance to mount the detector (Figure 4-4), noting the location of air sampling
pipes and cable entry points. Due to the rigid nature of the plastic pipe, installation must provide for sufficient
movement in all pipework (air inlet, air exhaust and cable pipes) to allow pipe ends to be easily fitted and
removed.
