Detector Mounting and Installation
The FL5000 is enclosed in an explosion proof assembly, which is rated for use in the environments specified in Addendum A - Standards and Compliance Certifications.
| • | The unit should be mounted free from shock and vibration and convenient for visual inspection and cleaning. |
| • | The detector(s) should be tilted downward so that dust or moisture does not accumulate on the sapphire window. |
| • | The detector(s) should be mounted in locations, that prevent people or objects from obscuring the detector’s FOV. |
| • | The mounting clamp must be torqued to 50 ft-lbs. |
|
Frequent inspection, cleaning, and sensitivity checking is suggested for detectors mounted in dirty environments. Conduit seal must be within 18” of unit. Non-hardening thread sealant should be used if the plugs are removed or re-installed in order to preserve ingress protection rating. |
Notice
The FL5000 conduit entry should be sealed per the Canadian Electrical Code Handbook (Part 1, Section 18-154) and NEC Article 501. Conduit seals or approved Ex d glands prevent water or gas from entering the detector’s housing through the conduit entry. Water entering the housing through the conduit entry will damage the electronics and nullify the warranty.
