3.2.6 Sample Line Particulate Filter Use

See "Specifications" on page 165 to determine which filter type should be used at the location.

3.3 Optional Floor Mounting

For added protection with optional floor mounts, prepare floor anchors to secure the base of
the cabinet and prevent tipping. See "Installation Drawings" on page 157 for floor mounting
instructions.

3.4 Installing Sample Lines/Filters

Use only FEP Teflon™ tubing to assure proper sample transport. Other types of tubing are not
sufficiently inert. See "Specifications" on page 165 for tube specifications. FEP tubing can be
ordered from Honeywell. This tubing is manufactured to our own strict specifications, and has
been purged of all by-products of the manufacturing process. On occasion, users have supplied
their own FEP type tubing. If using alternate tubing, be advised that some brands of FEP tubing
off-gas small amounts of HF, which can be detected on start up by monitors configured for
detecting mineral acids gases (HBr, HCl, HF, NF
make certain that 1) the correct Chemcassette™ is installed and 2) the monitor reads zero.
Install sample lines from each location to the top of the Vertex M system. This procedure

3.4.1 Sample Line Installation Requirements
Follow the general requirements listed below when installing sample lines.
Sample lines should not exceed 400 ft. (122 m) in length.
l
Route all lines as direct as possible to improve transport time. See "Specifications" on
l
page 165 for transport times.
Avoid running sample lines through areas of great temperature extremes, such as adjacent
l
to steam or chiller lines.
Sample lines should not be crimped, bent to less than a 12 in. (30.5 cm) radius, or placed in
l
an area where weight could collapse the tubing. Sample lines should be easily accessible for
periodic inspection.
Where possible, leave as many bends exposed for periodic visual inspection of the line for
l
kinked or damaged tubing.
Check each sample line installation for seal integrity after completing installation of the
l
Vertex M system. See "Leak Checking Sample Lines" on page 75 for the leak check
