3.1. UNPACKING AND INITIAL SETUP

CAUTION

THE 9110TH AND THE 9110TM EACH WEIGH ABOUT 18 KG (40 POUNDS) WITHOUT

OPTIONS INSTALLED. TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY, WE RECOMMEND USING TWO

Printed circuit assemblies (PCAs) are sensitive to electro-static discharges too small to be
felt by the human nervous system. Damage resulting from failure to use ESD protection
when working with electronic assemblies will void the instrument warranty.

PERSONS TO LIFT AND CARRY THE ANALYZER.

CAUTION – Avoid Warranty Invalidation

See A Primer on Electro-Static Discharge section in this manual for more information on preventing
ESD damage.

Note TAI recommends that you store shipping containers/materials for future

use should the instrument need be returned to the factory for repair
and/or calibration service. See Warranty section in this manual and our
Website at http://www.teledyne-api.com for a Return Authorization form.

WARNING

NEVER DISCONNECT ELECTRONIC CIRCUIT BOARDS, WIRING HARNESSES OR

ELECTRONIC SUBASSEMBLIES WHILE THE UNIT IS UNDER POWER.

1. Inspect the received packages for external shipping damage. If damaged, please
advise the shipper first, then TAI.

2. Included with your analyzer is a printed record of the final performance
characterization performed on your instrument at the factory. This record, titled
Final Test and Validation Data Sheet (P/N 04413) is an important quality assurance
and calibration record for this instrument. It should be placed in the quality records
file for this instrument.

3. Carefully remove the top cover of the analyzer and check for internal shipping
damage, as follows:

 a. Remove the set-screw located in the top, center of the front panel.

towards the rear).

 c. Slide the cover backwards until it clears the analyzer’s front bezel.

 d. Lift the cover straight up.

4. Inspect the interior of the instrument to make sure all circuit boards and other
components are in good shape and properly seated.

5. Check the connectors of the various internal wiring harnesses and pneumatic hoses
to make sure they are firmly and properly seated.

6. Verify that all of the optional hardware ordered with the unit has been installed.
These are checked on the paperwork (Form 04490) accompanying the analyzer.

3.2. VENTILATION CLEARANCE

Whether the analyzer is set up on a bench or installed into an instrument rack, be sure to
leave sufficient ventilation clearance.

The front panel liquid crystal display screen includes touch control. Upon analyzer start­up, the screen shows a splash screen and other initialization indicators before the main
display appears, similar to Figure 3-2 above (may or may not display a Fault alarm). The
LEDs on the display screen indicate the Sample, Calibration and Fault states; also on the
screen is the gas concentration field (Conc), which displays real-time readouts for the
primary gas and for the secondary gas if installed. The display screen also shows what
mode the analyzer is currently in, as well as messages and data (Param). Along the
bottom of the screen is a row of touch control buttons; only those that are currently
applicable will have a label. Table 3-1 provides detailed information for each component
of the screen.
