  • Page 19: Installation And Start-Up

    Installation and Start-up Safety Considerations To ensure a smooth installation of the AMETEK ta7000F Gas Purity Monitor and to get the maximum performance, several aspects should be considered. This guide discusses the important points for a successful installation. Before beginning the installation of the ta7000F and before powering it up, review and follow all safety information following the Table of Contents near the beginning of this manual.
  • Page 20 Carrier Gas Purifiers External gas purifiers must be completely conditioned with gas flow- ing through them before connection to the ta7000F. Failure to prop- erly condition purifiers can result in serious contamination. Flame Ionization Detector (FID) Flame Ignition Do not ignite the FID flame unless the FID is at operation temperature. Doing so will cause moisture to condense in the unheated FID and will short out the electrometer input leads.
  • Page 21: Pre-Installation Requirements

    Failure to comply with these storage conditions will void your warranty. Unpacking and Inspecting the Equipment Remove any packing material from the ta7000F Monitor. Check for damage. If equipment is damaged, notify the carrier and contact AMETEK Service (https:// www.AMETEKpi.com/customersupport/requestsupport) immediately if parts are missing or damage is found, and to verify if damaged parts will require replacement prior to safely installing and operating the equipment.
  • Page 22: Ta7000F Monitor Location Requirements

    Be within the ambient temperature limits listed in the specifications. If the ambient temperature is outside the specified limits or the vibration is excessive, contact your AMETEK representative to discuss solutions and special options to address ambient temperatures. Be clean with minimum particulate matter and dust in the air.
  • Page 23: Electrical Preparations And Connections

    • AMETEK recommends connecting the ta7000F and low powered accesso- ries to a dedicated electrical circuit. Do not plug the ta7000F into a circuit that is shared with other equipment with large intermittent current loads.
  • Page 24: Support Gas Utilities Preparations

    Support Gas Utilities Preparations The ta7000F needs several support gases to ensure proper operation. Refer to the Specifications chapter for detailed gas specifications for purchasing gases in cylinders. To achieve the low detection limits, it may be essential to further clean the gases with external purifiers.

    9. Partially loosen the 1/4-inch female VCR cap at the outlet of the purifier to allow a modest gas flow that will purge the purifier. 10. Allow gas to flow 2–3 minutes for adequate purging. 11. Remove the 1/4-inch female VCR cap on the outlet of the purifier. 12.
  • Page 32: Connecting Fid Hydrogen

    Connecting FID Hydrogen Hydrogen quality can also dramatically affect instrument performance. See gas specifications under “FID Hydrogen” in Chapter 5 for details. The instrument connection is made at the “FID H2” 1/16-inch VICI port on the ta7000F Rear Panel. Pressurize this external line to 50 PSIG (minimum 50 PSIG, maximum 60 PSIG).
  • Page 33: Making The Electrical Connections

    Making the Electrical Connections Connecting AC Power Before making the AC power connections, verify that the operat- ing voltage of the instrument matches the available AC power. The ta7000F does not auto-select for varying power line voltages. The instrument operating voltage is labeled on the ta7000F Rear Panel directly above the AC Power Connector/Power Switch.
