Preparing the Gas Analyzer for Shipping and Packing
CAUTION!
A system housing with an electronics module and an analyzer module
weighs from 18 to 23 kg. Two persons are needed for removal.
Step Action
1
Remove the system bus terminating resistor from the electronics
module and secure it to the housing, e.g. with adhesive tape. If
the terminating resistor remains in the electronics module it can
be broken during shipment causing damage to the resistor as
well as to the electronic module system bus receptacle.
2 Unscrew the adapters from the gas ports.
3 Tightly seal the gas ports with plugs.
Preparation for
Shipping
4 In the IP-54 version of the system housing close off the connection
box cable openings by inserting the appropriate plates.
When returning a gas analyzer or an analyzer module to the service department,
e.g. for repair, please indicate which gases have been supplied to the analyzer
module.
This information is needed so that service personnel can take any safety precau-
tions required for harmful gases.
Step Action
If the original packaging is not available, wrap the gas analyzer in
bubble foil or corrugated cardboard.
When shipping overseas additionally place the gas analyzer in a
0.2-mm thick polyethylene bag, add a drying agent (such as silica gel)
and seal the bag air-tight.
1
Use an amount of drying agent appropriate for the package
volume and the planned shipping schedule (at least 3 months).
Place the gas analyzer in an adequately sized box lined with cushion-
ing material (foam or similar substance).
The cushioning material’s thickness should be adequate for the
gas analyzer’s weight.
2
When shipping overseas additionally wrap the box in a layer of pro-
tective waterproof wrapping.
Packing
3 Mark the box as “Fragile Material”.
