Section 3
Installation
D A N G E R
Only qualified experts should conduct the tasks described in this section.
D A N G E R
Select an appropriate installation location for the instrument.
Plan out the mechanical mount before positioning poles or drilling holes.
Make sure the mount has a sufficient bearing capacity. The dowels must
be selected and authorized according to the condition of the wall.
The manufacturer shall accept no liability if the instrument is installed
incorrectly.
Plan how to lay cables and tubes and their path in advance. Lay the
tubes, data cables and power cables without any bends and so they do
not pose a tripping risk.
Do not connect the electrical supply to the mains until the instrument is
completely wired and protected against short circuits.
Sufficiently protect the electrical power supply against short circuits.
For the external power supply, always connect a residual-current circuit
breaker (trip current max.: 30 mA) between the mains and the system.
If the instrument is to be installed outdoors, connect a surge arrester
between the mains and the system.
Products intended by the manufacturer for outdoor use offer a higher
level of protection against the penetration of liquids and dust. If these
products are connected to a mains outlet with a cable and plug rather
than a permanently connected cable, the plug and outlet are much more
susceptible to liquid and dust penetration. The operator must sufficiently
protect the plug and outlet against liquid and dust penetration in
accordance with local safety regulations. If the instrument is to be used
outdoors, it must be connected to a suitable outlet with a protection type
of at least IP44 (splash protection).
WA R N I N G
Electrical dangers and fire hazard. Use only the supplied power cable.

Note the weight (control unit approx. 20 kg, module carrier with 5 m
suction tube approx. 3,5 kg) of the instrument. Do not try to carry the

transport.
