5.4 Mounting of XDS Process Enclosure
These steps explain physical mounting of the XDS Process Enclosure. Note that the enclosure may
weigh as much as 135 pounds (60.8kg). It is imperative that the installers take precautions to avoid
injury during installation.
1. Select a mounting area with a minimum of transmitted vibration which could affect the
instrument.
2. Verify that the mounting area is able to support the full weight of the instrument, including
options. Consider dynamic loading if the area is subject to unusual conditions.
The Purged XDS Process Analytics Instrument is shown for reference. This unit weighs 135
pounds, or 60.8kg.
Lifting Instructions:
Always use a sturdy wheeled cart when transporting
the instrument. It may be laid on its back for stability,
then lifted upright prior to actual mounting.
The unit may be lifted by two workers and guided
into place by a third. One worker should be
positioned on each side of the unit, and should hold
the cabinet, not any accessories. Alternatively, a wide
platform may be placed under the instrument, and
the platform may be lifted.
If using a lift truck or other mechanized equipment,
avoid damage to the cabinet or installed parts. Always
stabilize the enclosure, so it cannot fall and sustain
damage, or injure a worker.
Always wear safety glasses, safety shoes and other
protective equipment as required.
3. Leave adequate mounting space for all installed options, as well as room for air circulation
and wiring access. Recommended minimum access and mounting space is as follows:
