Chapter 2
Handling & Storage
This chapter addresses procedures for handling electrostatic discharge
(ESD) sensitive equipment, as well as procedures for unpacking, inspecting,
and storing of the system.
Caution This system is an ESD sensitive instrument. Use proper ESD
protective equipment and procedures. Failure to comply with ESD
procedures can result in circuit damage. ▲
ESD ProceduresSD Procedures The instrument contains electronic components that can be damaged from
discharges of static electricity. Ordinarily, handling the circuit boards by
their edges will not damage the circuits.
Caution Do not touch the circuit board components. ▲
Observe the following when installing, setting up, servicing,
troubleshooting, or repairing the instrument:
1. Use an antistatic bag. Most instrument subassemblies are shipped in a
special antistatic bag. When not installed, keep the assembly in the bag
as often as possible.
2. Remove ESD sensitive subassemblies only under the following
conditions:
a. When at a designated static-free workstation or when the bag is
grounded at a field site.
b. After the conductive area of the container has been neutralized.
c. After making firm contact with an antistatic mat and / or firmly
gripping a grounded individual.
3. Personnel handling ESD sensitive devices should be neutralized to a
static-free workstation by means of a grounding wrist strap that is
connected to the station or to a good grounding point at the field site.

4. Do not allow clothing to make contact with ESD sensitive devices.
5. Avoid touching edge connectors and components.
6. Avoid partially connecting ESD sensitive devices. These devices,
especially the power supply connector, can be damaged by floating
leads.
7. Ground test equipment.
8. Avoid static charges during troubleshooting.
Unpacking,
Inspection, &
Storage
All personnel involved in the packing, shipping, or receiving of hazardous
material must be trained in accordance with the United States Department
of Transportation (DOT) and OSHA hazardous materials regulations or in
accordance with the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC)
regulations.
Note Inspection, adjustment, installation, and maintenance of the
instrument must be performed by experienced personnel only. ▲
1. Upon receipt, inspect the instrument for damage that may have
occurred while in transit. If there is evidence of rough handling or
damage, file a damage claim with the transportation company
immediately. Notify Thermo Fisher and / or your sales representative as
soon as possible.
2. Carefully inspect the packing material prior to discarding it to ensure
that all equipment and instruction paperwork has been removed.
3. Use the original packing material and container for storage if necessary.
4. If storing the instrument, the storage environment should be protected,
free from extremes of temperatures and high humidity, and fall within
the environmental constraints listed in the specification appendix.

Chapter 3
Installation
Read Gamma Radiation Safety (p/n 717904) prior to installing the
equipment.
Tip Copies of the drawings referenced in this manual are provided in
Appendix C. ▲
Generaleneral The Thermo Scientific DensityPRO+ integrated gamma density system
consists of three components:
1. One of the following transmitter models:
Thermo Scientific 1400A transmitter with non-metallic enclosure
(NEMA 4X)
Thermo Scientific 1400A transmitter with cast aluminum enclosure
(NEMA 7/ NEMA 4)
Thermo Scientific 1400S transmitter with stainless steel enclosure
(NEMA 4X/IP65)
2. One of the following detector models:
Thermo Scientific 9701 or 9702 ion chamber detector
Thermo Scientific 9719B or 9720B scintillation detector
3. One of the following source head models:
Thermo Scientific 5190, 5191, 5176, 5200, 5201, 5202, 5203,
5204, or 5211
Note In this manual, the generic use of “transmitter” or “transmitters”
implies the 1400A and 1400S transmitters. The specific model name will
be used only when necessary. ▲
Note The combination of the detector and the source head is referred to as
the “gauge head”. ▲

Installation
Licensing
Licensing
Warning The instrument is a nuclear device regulated by federal and / or
state authorities. You are responsible for knowing and following the
pertinent safety and regulatory requirements. Refer to Gamma Radiation
Safety (p/n 717904) for a summary of these requirements. ▲
Warning Moving or removing an installed source housing or any assembly
that includes a source housing requires a person who is specifically licensed
to install and commission Thermo Scientific source heads. ▲
In the United States, your general license permits you to own and install all
of the instrument’s components, including the source head. However, you
may not commission the instrument (remove the lock and open the source
housing shutter for the first time) without a specific license authorizing
radiation commissioning of the instrument. In Canada, you are only
allowed to remove the instrument from the shipping container if your
CNSC license has a condition authorizing mounting / dismounting of
devices. For assistance obtaining a license or commissioning /
decommissioning the instrument, contact Thermo Fisher.
Guidelines
Warning Do not install the system in any hazardous area other than those
approved. Refer to the equipment tag for the specific approvals applicable
to the configuration of your instrument. ▲
Warning Do not apply power to the instrument in any hazardous area
unless the safety ground is properly wired inside the instrument and the
cover is properly installed. ▲
Generaleneral Review the following guidelines when planning gauge installation. Also
refer to the installation layout drawing 868695 in the drawing appendix.
1. Correct power source is available. See “Power Options” later in this
chapter.
2. Operating temperature range:
a. Transmitter: -40°C to +60°C (-40°F to +140°F)
b. Scintillation or ion chamber detector: -30°C to +60°C (-20°F to
+140°F)
3-2 DensityPRO+ Installation Guide Thermo Fisher Scientific

Installation
Guidelines
3. The transmitter should be mounted so that the display is easily seen
and the keypad on the transmitter (if applicable) is easily accessible.
4. The transmitter should not be mounted near high voltage, high
current, corrosive vapors, corrosive liquids, or corrosive esters.
5. There should be enough clearance to install and service the gauge head.
Refer to the appropriate drawings for your type of gauge and mount
(Appendix C).
6. The source housing should be positioned so that the radioactive source
identification tag is visible. The source housing tag should be upright.
7. The gauge should not be mounted where process overflow or other
material can collect in the beam path. The source shutter mechanism
must be kept free of debris.
8. The maximum cable length between the transmitter and the detector
varies with the gauge of the wire, but should not exceed 5000 feet
(1525 m) for an ion chamber detector or 1000 feet (300 m) for a
scintillation detector.
