Personnel and Equipment Safety Information
This section describes important safety information to avoid personal injury and dam-
age to the equipment while installing, operating, maintaining, or servicing the equip-
ment. All safety regulations, standards, and procedures at the installation location
must be followed.
All personnel involved with the installation, start-up, operation, maintenance, service, or
troubleshooting of the ta7000R Gas Purity Monitor must review and follow these Warn-
ings and Cautions.
Before working on the ta7000R Monitor, read and understand the following Notes,
Warnings, and Cautions, regarding safety and other required information. Additional
Notes, Warnings, and Cautions included in individual procedures in this manual indi-
cate special conditions to consider during installation, before opening the ta7000R
Monitor and while working on it.
Read this manual before beginning the installation and operation of the
ta7000R Monitor. Failure to do so, and or use of the equipment in a manner
not specied in this manual or accompanying documents, may impair the
protection against re, electrical shock and injury originally provided by this
equipment. In addition, failure to follow the installation and start-up instruc-
tions may void the instrument warranty.
Improper installation, operation, or service of the ta7000R may result in per-
manent damage
If an electrical re occurs on or inside the ta7000R, extinguish it using
Class A, B, or C extinguishers.
Do Not Operate without Covers
To avoid electric shock or re hazard, do not operate this product with covers
or panels removed.
Use Caution When Lifting
Use caution when lifting the ta7000R from its crate.

Use Proper Attire
Equipment is hot, user should wear protective groves while handling the
equipment.
All electrical connections, adjustments, or servicing of the ta7000R should be
performed only by properly trained and qualied personnel.
All electrical connections, materials, and methods (plus all safety standards
and procedures) must be made in compliance with local wiring regulations
and electrical code for the hazardous area, as specied by the Owner Com-
pany, local electrical-inspection authority, and National/EU regulations.
Follow appropriate regulatory and/or company procedures to lock out the
ta7000R while working on its electronics.
Verify ground continuity of all equipment before applying power. For electri-
cal shock protection, the ta7000R must be operated from a grounded power
source that has a securely connected protective ground contact.
The ta7000R must have electrical power, instrument air pressure, αnd appli-
cable gas pressure for proper operation. If proper electrical power, instrument
air pressure, or applicable gas pressure are not supplied, the ta7000R could be
permanently damaged and the warranty will be void.
Operators should not attempt to repair the ta7000R. Any repairs made without
rst consulting AMETEK Customer Service shall void the manufacturer’s
warranty
Use Proper Wiring
To avoid re hazards, use only the wiring specied in the “Installation and
Start-Up” chapter of this manual.
Avoid Electrical Overload
To avoid electrical shock or re hazard, do not apply a voltage to a terminal
that is outside the range specied for that terminal.

PN T900-013 Rev A
Ground the Product
Follow the grounding instructions provided in the “Installation and Start-Up”
chapter of this manual. Before making connections to the input or output
terminals of this product, ensure that the product is properly grounded.
Use Proper Fuse
To avoid re hazard, use only the fuse type and rating specied for this product.
Use Proper Power Source
Do not operate this product from a power source that applies more than the
voltage specied.
Do Not Operate with Suspected Failures
If you suspect there is damage to this product, have it inspected by qualied
service personnel.
Do Not Operate in Explosive Atmosphere
To avoid injury or re hazard, do not operate this product in an explosive
atmosphere unless you have purchased options that are specically designed
for these environments.

General Safety Considerations
Components and Functions
The following safety items must be observed to avoid personal injury and to prevent
damage to the ta7000R Monitor. All personnel involved in installation, operation or
service of the ta7000R should be thoroughly familiar with these items. These consider-
ations are in addition to all site specic safety procedures.
Mercury Vapor
In RGD-equipped instruments, be sure the Mercury vapor scrubber is con-
nected before operating the analyzer and plan on replacing the scrubber after
6 months of continuous operation or with each HgO bed replacement.
UV Light
In RGD-equipped instruments, do not look directly at the ultraviolet lamp.
Since UV light causes eye damage, use appropriate safety glasses whenever
the UV lamp is exposed.
Electrical Hazard
Be sure that the top cover is securely in place before operating the analyzer.
Since some service procedures require the cover to be removed while the
power is on, be aware that electric shock can occur. Therefore, only trained
or otherwise qualied personnel should service the analyzer. The analyzer is
supplied with a 3-conductor power cord providing a protective earth ground
connection when plugged into a properly wired receptacle. Proper receptacle
grounding must be veried.

Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
Read and follow the recommendations in this section to avoid performance
variations or damage to the internal circuits of this equipment when installed
in harsh electrical environments.
The various congurations of the ta7000R should not produce, or fall victim to, electromagnetic
disturbances as specied in the European Union’s EMC Directive. Strict compliance to the EMC Direc-
tive requires that certain installation techniques and wiring practices are used to prevent or minimize
erratic behavior of the ta7000R or its electronic neighbors. Below are examples of the techniques and
wiring practices to be followed.
In meeting the EMC requirements, the various ta7000R congurations described in this manual
rely heavily on the use of metallic shielded cables used to connect to the customer’s equipment
and power. Foil and braid shielded I/O and DC power cables are recommended for use in otherwise
unprotected situations. In addition, hard conduit, exible conduit, and armor around non-shielded
wiring also provides excellent control of radio frequency disturbances. However, use of these shielding
techniques is eective only when the shielding element is connected to the equipment chassis/
earth ground at both ends of the cable run. This may cause ground loop problems in some cases.
These should be treated on a case-by-case basis. Disconnecting one shield ground may not provide
sucient protection depending on the electronic environment. Connecting one shield ground via
a 0.1 microfarad ceramic capacitor is a technique allowing high frequency shield bonding while
avoiding the AC-ground metal connection. In the case of shielded cables the drain wire or braid
connection must be kept short. A two-inch connection distance between the shield’s end and the
nearest grounded chassis point, ground bar or terminal is highly recommended. An even greater
degree of shield performance can be achieved by using metallic glands for shielded cable entry into
metal enclosures. Expose enough of the braid/foil/drain where it passes through the gland so that the
shield materials can be wrapped backwards onto the cable jacket and captured inside the gland, and
tightened up against the metal interior.
Inductive loads connected to the low voltage“Alarm Contacts”are not recommended. However, if
this becomes a necessity, adhere to proper techniques and wiring practices. Install an appropriate
transient voltage suppression device (low voltage MOV,“Transzorb,”or R/C) as close as possible to the
inductive device to reduce the generation of transients. Do not run this type of signal wiring along
with other I/O or DC in the same shielded cable. Inductive load wiring must be separated from other
circuits in conduit by using an additional cable shield on the oending cable.
In general, for optimum protection against high frequency transients and other disturbances, do not
allow installation of the ta7000R where its unshielded I/O and DC circuits are physically mixed with AC
mains or any other circuit that could induce transients into the ta7000R or the overall system. Exam-
ples of electrical events and devices known for the generation of harmful electromagnetic disturbanc-
es include motors, capacitor bank switching, storm related transients, RF welding equipment, static,
and walkie talkies.
