5 Installation, Start Up and Shut Down Installation of the analyzer requires the following steps be followed:  Connecting the sample gas line to the inlet fitting Mounting the vacuum pump Connecting the line from the sample outlet to the needle control valve and vacuum pump Connecting the pneumatic pressure service to the pneumatic inlet fitting Making the power connection to the vacuum pump Making the power connection to the analyzer POWER SWITCH Figure 2: Major Internal Components Installation, Start Up and Shut

5.1 Analyzer Installation 5.1.1 Gas Connections 5.1.1.1 Sample Gas Inlet Connection Sample gas is connected to the analyzer via a ¼ inch male swivel VCR fitting at the rear of the instrument as shown in Figure 3. Sample pressure of 9-15 psig is required and is regulated by a customer supplied regulator. Use a VCR filter gasket (supplied) to protect the gas delivery system from any particulate matter. Pre-purge the line by connecting to the analyzer (with a new VCR filter gasket) only finger tight and flowing gas for 15 minutes. When power is applied to the analyzer, the internal gas control valves...
