Requirements for the installation site
Note
For the analyzers ZO23 and Fidas24, the instructions specified in
Installation site requirements
The gas analyzer is intended for indoor installation only.
The specification of the gas analyzer (see data sheet) is
applicable up to a height of 2000 m above sea level. Altitude
above 2000 m on request.
The installation site must be stable enough to bear the weight of
the gas analyzer!
For safe installation and disassembly, we recommend
supporting the 19” housing in the cabinet or rack with slide rails!
Short gas paths
Install the gas analyzer as close as possible to the sampling
location.
Install the gas conditioning and calibration modules as close as
possible to the gas analyzer.
Adequate air circulation
Provide for adequate natural air circulation around the gas
analyzer. Avoid heat build-up.
Mount several 19” housings with a minimum distance of 1 HE
between each housing, see
Protection from adverse ambient conditions
Protect the gas analyzer from the following influences:
• Cold,
• Exposure to heat from e.g. the sun, furnaces, boilers,
• Temperature variations,
• Strong air currents,
• Accumulation of dust and ingress of dust,
• Corrosive atmosphere,
• Vibration.

Special conditions for the model EL3020 gas analyzer for
the measurement of flammable gases
Unrestricted exchange of air with the environment must be
provided around the gas analyzer from the bottom (floor plate)
and from the rear (gas connections).
The gas analyzer may not be placed directly on a table.
The housing openings may not be closed. Spacing to adjacent
built-in components to the sides must be at least 3 cm.
If the gas analyzer is installed in a closed cabinet, adequate
ventilation of the cabinet must be provided (at least 1 change of
air per hour).
The spacing to adjoining fittings from the bottom (floor plate)
and from the back (gas connections) must be at least 3 cm.
