5.1 Visual Check after Transportation
The Searchzone Sonik pack includes:
• The Searchzone Sonik Gas Leak Detector
• Standard Adjustable Mounting Bracket
• Plastic Sunshade
• One certified blanking plug
• Tool Kit
To ensure that the Searchzone Sonik unit was not damaged during transport, perform the following checks:
1. Check the packaging for damage before opening. If the packaging shows signs of tearing, breakage or other damage, immediately
inform the transport company and the supplier. Document the damage in an appropriate way (e.g., photographs).
2. Open the packaging carefully to avoid damaging the contents.
3. Examine the Searchzone Sonik detector for damage. If you find the detector to be damaged in any way, immediately inform the
transport company and the supplier. Document the damage in an appropriate way (e.g., photographs).
4. In the case of damage: a) Leave the detector in the original packaging
b) Do not attempt repair, or operate the detector until the damage claim has been resolved with the supplier.
CAUTION
1. Installation, set-up and maintenance must be conducted only by trained and authorized personnel.
2. Do NOT open the front enclosure. The warranty of a unit, whose front enclosure has been opened, is invalidated.
3. Do NOT modify the front enclosure or component parts as this will compromise the hazardous location certification and
invalidate the warranty.
4. Do NOT modify the construction of the detector in any way as this will invalidate the warranty.
5. Open and close the wiring compartment cover with care to avoid deformation.
6. Installation, set-up and maintenance must be conducted only by trained and authorized personnel.
7. Avoid water and dust ingress when opening the wiring compartment to protect the unshielded electronic contacts.
8. Secure the detector when loosening bracket bolts. Unwanted release may cause injury.
9. Check mating surfaces prior to assembly (threads, O-rings). Ensure that they are clean and free of contaminants.
10. Check the O-rings prior to assembly, replace if damaged with genuine parts.
11. The Searchzone Sonik is supplied without cable glands. Ensure that all cable entry threads are sealed with an
appropriate plug to eliminate water ingress and thread damage. At installation, the cable entry transportation plugs
must be removed and replaced with suitable cable glands, thread adapters or blanking plugs to meet local hazardous
location requirements.
12. Check suitability of the blanking plug for its end use on site, ensure it meets local and national regulations.
13. Remove power from the Searchzone Sonik detector while installing wiring. Do NOT install wires or set up wiring with
power applied.
