Installation

The radiation source container serves as a type-A packaging (IATA rules) for the radiation source. For transport,
it is protected by a foam packaging.
Dimensions of the packaging:
• without pneumatic actuator: 380 mm x 380 mm x 450 mm (15" x 15" x 18")
• with pneumatic actuator: 380 mm x 380 mm x 600 mm (15" x 15" x 24")
Note!
The foam packaging can be disposed like ordinary consumer waste.
The radiation source container can be mounted in one of the following ways:
• by a nozzle directly on the vessel or pipe (not pressurized and not in contact with process)
• on an external construction with low to zero vibration
Caution!
• All maintenance such as mounting, removal or replacement of the radioactive source may only be carried
out by supervised personnel who have been specially trained in radiation procedures according to local
regulations or handling approval. Ensure that the contents of the handling approval are valid. Local
conditions are to be observed.
• All work must be carried out as quickly as possible and from a distance as large as possible (shielding!). Safety
procedures (e.g. blocking of access) must also be carried out to protect personnel from all possible risk.
• Mounting and dismounting is only allowed in the "OFF" position, secured with a lock.
• Take into account the weight of the radiation source container:
– FQG61: 40...50 kg/88...110 lbs
– FQG62: 87...97 kg/192...215 lbs
