Tools Equipment and Supplies The procedure for calibration and field service of the gas analyzer requires the following tools, test equipment, and expendable supplies: T O O L S Magnetic Wand (provided). E L E C T R O N I C T E S T E Q U I P M E N T Oscilloscope, Tektronix Model 912B or equivalent.
M E C H A N I C A L This analyzer is designed to be mounted vertically on a wall or panel (see Figure 2: IR-8400D Series Outline Dimensions). You must provide room for access to the instrument on both the bottom and right-hand side (as viewed from facing the front panel).
E L E C T R I C A L All electrical interconnections are brought out to a convenient junction box for easy installation. The junction box has a cover, which is easily removed for access to the internal terminals. Two conduits are provided: one for the AC power and the second for the output signals (see Figure 3 for details).
A prepackaged sample system, such as the Infrared Industries IR-1150 series, may be provided. The conditioner and analyzer are usually mounted on the same plate.
