The following must be furnished by the customer before a new AQUATRAN 3/38 can be set up. If a MOCON technical
representative will be setting up your system these items must be on site before we can arrange to visit your plant.
1.
SPACE REQUIREMENTS - Each AQUATRAN 3/38 instrument requires 18 to 24 inches (46 to 62 cm) of
bench space. The instrument is 23 inches (58 cm) deep. The bench should provide additional space to
allow for the required electrical and plumbing connections. The instrument weighs 95 pounds
(43.1 kilograms) the bench should provide adequate support for the instrument.
A printer requires approximately 24 inches (62 cm) of bench space. Benches should be sufficiently large
and strong to accommodate the instrument and printer in close proximity.
2.
ENVIRONMENTAL REQUIREMENTS - The AQUATRAN 3/38 should be operated in an environment with a
stable room RH between 20% and 80% non-condensing, and at an ambient temperature of
22 °C ± 2 °C. It is important to locate the instrument in a relatively stable environment free from drafts
and temperature fluctuations.
3.
POWER REQUIREMENTS - The AQUATRAN 3/38 requires 100 - 240 VAC ± 10% at 50/ 60 Hz. Maximum
power consumption for each instrument is 700 VA (maximum surge). The instrument must be provided
with a quiet computer grade electrical circuit with an isolated ground and an appropriate grounded
receptacle. In the USA a duplex NEMA 5-15R receptacle must be provided for each instrument.
NOTE:
See the last page of these instructions for details and cautions on
"RECOMMENDED ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION"
4.
NITROGEN - The required carrier gas is extra dry nitrogen (99.7% or better). A standard "T" size cylinder
will typically provide several weeks of operation. MOCON requires that the tank regulator be a two stage
model.
