Mount on a Wall
Mount on a Wall
You can use the back panel to mount the module securely to a wall. Because wall materials vary, mounting hardware is not provided. BW Technologies strongly recommends that wall-mounting is performed by a qualified installation contractor. Sufficient expertise is required to:
1. Determine the strength of the wall supporting the module; and
2. Select mounting hardware appropriate to the weight and normal use of the module.
Before you Begin
1. Select a suitable installation location. Each module or gang of connected modules requires:
- Access to an appropriate power source.
- Access to a network connection, if using.
- Access to calibration gas sources.
- Adequate clearance for the power cord, cables and tubing
- Adequate clearance for normal use, maintenance and cleaning
2. Have ready appropriate mounting hardware. Each module requires sufficient hardware for 4 anchor points.
3. Have ready tools and accessories required to install the mounting hardware.
Incomplete or improper mounting may result in property damage and/or personal injury.
Do not install near heat sources or on vibrating surfaces.
The wall and the mounting hardware must be strong enough to support the
equipment during normal use.
The equipment must be used only in a normal atmosphere (20.9% v/v O2) that is free of hazardous gas. Do not use the equipment in a hazardous area. Failure to adhere to this caution can lead to fire and/or explosion
The equipment is intended for indoor use only.
This equipment uses potentially harmful gas for calibrations. The equipment must be attached to a venting system or be used in a well-ventilated area.
Mounting Individual Modules on a Wall
1. Prepare the modules for mounting.
1. Disconnect modules that are connected into gangs.
2. Disconnect the power cord, network cable, tubing and inlet filter assemblies.
3. Remove the end plate.
2. Detach the back panel.
1. Hold the module with the back panel facing toward you.
2. Find the panel latch at the top left side of the module, near the panel hinge.
3. Press down firmly on the panel latch, and then continue to press down while you slide the panel to the right until the hinge pins are detached.
3. Mark the position of the anchor points on the wall, and then drill the holes.
1. Hold the panel against the wall in the desired position.
2. Use a pencil or non-permanent marker to mark the center of the 4 anchor points, and then set the back panel aside
3. Drill through the center of each anchor point mark.
4. Secure the panel to the wall with the metal brace facing out. Use appropriate hardware for each of the 4 anchor points. Do not overtighten.
5. Attach the module to the mounted back panel.
1. Align the hinges and hook receptacles on the module with the hinge pins and hooks on the mounted panel.
2. When the module lies flat against the mounted panel, push it firmly to the left to lock it onto the panel.
6. Prepare the module for use.
1. Attach the end plate. Verify that the latch arm is lowered and locked
2. Connect the inlet filters, tubing, network connection and power cord.
Removing an Individual Module from a Mounted Back Panel
1. Disconnect the power cord, network cable, tubing and inlet filter assemblies.
2. Find the panel latch at the top right side of the module, near the panel hinge
3. Press down firmly on the panel latch, and then continue to press down while you push the module to the right until the hinge pins and hooks are detached. Remove the module.
Mounting Connected Modules on a Wall
1. Prepare the modules for mounting.
1. Disconnect modules that are connected into gangs.
2. Disconnect the power cord, network cable, tubing and inlet filter assemblies.
3. Remove the end plate.
2. Detach the back panel from the modules.
1. Hold the module with the back panel facing toward you.
2. Find the panel latch at the top left side of the module, near the panel hinge
3. Press down firmly on the panel latch, and then continue to press down while
you slide the panel to the right until the hinge pins are detached.
3. Mark the position of the anchor points, and drill holes for the first panel.
1. Hold the panel against the wall in the desired position.
2. Use a pencil or non-permanent marker to mark the center of the 4 anchor points, and then set the back panel aside.
4. Drill through the center of each anchor point mark.
5. Secure the first panel to the wall with the metal brace facing out. Use appropriate hardware for each of the 4 anchor points. Do not overtighten.
6. Clip the second panel to the first panel, and then secure it to the wall. Use appropriate hardware for each of the 4 anchor points. Do not overtighten. Repeat as necessary to mount up to 5 connected panels.
7. Attach a module to the first panel.
1. Align the hinges on the module with the hinge pins on the mounted panel. Align the hooks on the mounted panel with the hook receptacles on the module
2. When the module lies flat against the mounted panel, firmly push to the left to lock onto the panel. If this is difficult, loosen the mounting hardware slightly and try again.
8. Attach a module to the second panel and connect it to the first module.
1. Unlock and raise the latch arm on the first module.
2. Align the hinges on the next module with the hinge pins on the next mounted panel. Align the hooks on the next mounted panel with the hook receptacles on the next module. Align the connections on the modules.
3. When the next module lies flat against the next mounted panel, firmly push to the left to lock it onto the panel and ensure a full connection with the first module.
4. Lower and lock the latch arm. Repeat as necessary to attach and connect up to 5 modules.
9. Prepare connected modules for use.
1. Verify that connected modules are firmly attached and latch arms are lowered and locked.
2. Attach the end plate to the last module in the gang. Verify that the latch arm is lowered and locked.
3. Connect the inlet filters, tubing, network connection and power cord
4. Verify that each module in the gang is activated and a consecutive bay number is displayed on the LCD. See LCD Screen on page 11.
Removing Connected Modules from Mounted Back Panels
1. Disconnect the power cord, network cable, tubing and inlet filter assemblies.
2. Unlock and lift the latch arm between the two modules at the end of the gang.
3. Find the panel latch at the top right side of the module at the end of the gang.
4. Press down firmly on the panel latch, and then continue to press down while you push the module to the right until the hinge pins and hooks are detached. For best results, BW Technologies recommends that you hold the remainder of the gang firmly in position while pushing to help protect the remaining modules in the gang from excessive movement or falls.
5. Repeat steps 2, 3 and 4 until only one module remains.
6. Repeat steps 3 and 4 to remove the final module.
