WARNING
The system is shipped under vacuum. On delivery, verify that it is still under vacuum
by attempting to open the vacuum chamber door. If the door can be opened easily,
there is no vacuum. If that is the case, it is highly likely that some damage has
occurred.
3.1.2 Loss or Damage.
If any loss and/or damage is claimed:
1. Notify the carrier or the carrier’s agent to request inspection of the loss or damage
claimed.
2. Keep all shipping containers until it is determined whether they are needed to return
the equipment to Temescal.
3. If it is difficult to determine the extent of damage or whether damaged equipment can
be repaired in the field, contact a Temescal service representative for appraisal.
3.2
Customer’s Site Preparation Responsibilities
NOTE
The customer’s responsibility for installation stops when: (a) all system components
are in place; (b) customer-supplied service lines are ready to be connected to the
system; and (c) power Drops #1 and #2 are properly connected at the power
distribution box. To avoid loss of the warranty that applies to a new system and its
equipment, do not apply power to the system. Instead, call for a Temescal service
representative to make the service connections, approve the installation, energize
the system, and demonstrate that it performs as designed.
3.2.1 Equipment and Personnel Required.
The following types of workers (with their tools) will be required to install the system:
1. Mechanical technicians (or movers) will remove any bracing and shipping hardware.
2. Movers will place the vacuum cubicle in its permanent position and level it.
3. An electrician will install service Drops #1 and #2 and connect both service drops to
the power distribution box. The electrician will also establish the grounding points for
the required low-impedance ground (see section 2.5) and connect the vacuum
cubicle to that ground. Temescal will oversee the connection of Drop #2 to the HV
power supply.
4. A plumber will lay out lines for cold (and optional hot) water, compressed air, vent
gas, optional process gas, and the mechanical pump exhaust. The plumber may
connect these lines at the facility end, but connections to the FC-2800 system may be
made only by or under the supervision of a Temescal service representative, unless
the customer has made arrangements to the contrary.
3.2.2 Placing the Vacuum Cubicle In Position
The following steps must be completed before the vacuum cubicle is place in its
permanent position:
1. Remove all packing material from around and under the cubicle.
