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. -
