OCX 8800

4.Ensure the conduits drop vertically from the OCX 8800 and the conduit is routed below the level of the conduit ports on the housing to form a drip loop. Drip loops minimize the possibility that moisture will damage the electronics (Figure 2-3).

5.Where a positive stack pressure exists at the installation site, connect all pneumatic lines prior to installing the OCX 8800 in the stack or ductwork.

NOTE

If process temperatures will exceed 392°F (200°C), use anti-seize compound on stud threads to ease future removal of the OCX 8800.

6.Insert sample and exhaust tubes through the opening in the mounting flange and bolt the unit to the flange.

Uninsulated stacks or ducts may cause ambient temperatures in the electronics housing to exceed 185°F (85°C) and damage the electronics.

7.If insulation is removed to access the duct for OCX 8800 mounting, make sure to replace insulation afterward.

Enclosures

The OCX 8800 enclosures are designed to meet ingress conditions of IP66. Each enclosure cover is threaded to its base and sealed with an o-ring that isolates the threads from external contaminants.

Each cover is secured by a clip attached to the base that engages the cover between the ribs of the cover sidewall. The clip is held in place by an Allen head cap screw and lockwasher mounted in a recess. Cover removal and installation requires an Allen wrench to loosen and tighten the screw.
