  • Page 7: Transport And Storage

    TC-MINI 3 Transport and storage Only transport the product inside the original packaging or a suitable alternative. The equipment must be protected from moisture and heat when not in use. It must be stored in a covered, dry and dust-free room at a temperature of -20 °C to 60 °C (-4 °F to 140 °F).
  • Page 8: Installation And Connection

    TC-MINI 4 Installation and connection 4.1 Installation site requirements The unit is only intended for wall-mounted use in enclosed areas. Adequate protection from the weather must be provided when used outdoors. Install the unit leaving enough room below the cooler to discharge the condensate. Leave room above for the gas supply.
  • Page 9: Connecting The Filter Gas Connections (Optional)

    TC-MINI 4.2.1 Connecting the filter gas connections (optional) The connection G1/4 or NPT 1/4” (filter head marked NPT) for the gas outlet must be carefully and properly connected using a suitable screw connection. When ordering the cooler with the option filter without Moisture detector, a bypass may be connected to the filter head.

    As seen in the following graphics using the TC-MINI 6111 as an example, a difference of 15 °C from the ambient temperature means the focus is on drying the sample gas. The stability of the dew point then takes a backseat to the high performance which can be achieved.
