Below this temperature, snow or ice blown onto the window will not be melted until the ambient temperature rises. If long-term, outdoor operation in very cold climates is intended, it is recommended that extra shielding/covers are employed to prevent snow/ice from being blown onto the windows and building up.

Note: The maximum movement of the supporting structure under all anticipated operating conditions must be ±0.5 If either unit is to be free standing and not mounted to existing supports or structures, and the height above the ground is no more than 3m, the supporting structure shown is recommended: 150mm dia.

  • Page 18: Electrical Connections

    Electrical installation standards vary for different countries, companies and applications and it is the responsibility of the installation design authority to determine the applicable standards and ensure compliance with them. When designing electrical installations for Excel, Honeywell Analytics recommend that the installation design authority considers the following: Any earthing regime employed must avoid earth loops.
  • Page 19 MAN0530 Issue 15 - 07/17 Searchline Excel 2104M0506 3. INSTALLATION AND OPERATION Maximum voltages 1. Any earthing arrangement employed should ensure that the maximum peak voltage between the unit’s case earth and any field cable conductor is less than 350 V. This includes conditions where transient surge voltages are generated by lightning or the switching of heavy electrical plant. Earthing arrangements that employ multiple protective earths or earth grids significantly increase the likelihood of large transient surge voltages being generated between a unit’s case earth and the field cable conductors. If it is suspected that voltages between the unit’s...

    MAN0530 Issue 15 - 07/17 Searchline Excel 2104M0506 APPENDIX A - HANDHELD INTERROGATOR A.1 INTRODUCTION This appendix provides reference information about the SHC1 Handheld Interrogator. The interrogator provides the user end of a two-way communication link between the Excel system and the operator. It features facilities which let the operator configure, align, functionally test and diagnose faults in the system.
