2-2 IM MX100-01E
2.2 Installation
Installation Location
Install the instrument indoors in the following locations.
• Where the temperature is between 0 to 50°C.
Where the relative humidity is between 20 and 80% RH for 0 to 40°C and 10 and 50%
RH for 40 to 50°C. However, no condensation should be present.
Note
Condensation may occur if the instrument is moved to another place where the ambient
temperature is higher, or if the temperature changes rapidly. In addition, measurement errors
will occur when using thermocouple input. In this case, let the instrument adjust to the new
environment for at least an hour before using the instrument.
• Where the operating altitude is 2000 m or less.
• In a well-ventilated location
Install the instrument in a well-ventilated location to prevent the temperature inside the
instrument from rising.
• Where mechanical vibration is small
Select an installation location with a small amount of mechanical vibration (if any).
• In a horizontal location
Install the instrument on a flat, even surface.
Do not install the instrument in the following places.
•
In dangerous locations where flammable liquid, vapor, or dust is present
• In direct sunlight or near heat appliances
Select a location with the smallest temperature fluctuation from room temperature (23
°C) as possible. Placing the instrument in direct sunlight or near heat appliances can
cause adverse effects.
• Where an excessive amount of soot, steam, humidity, dust, or corrosive gas is present
Soot, steam, humidity, dust, and corrosive gas can cause adverse effects on the instrument.
Avoid installing the instrument in an environment with a high level of such elements.
• Near magnetic field sources
Install the instrument in a location where the magnetic field is 400 A/m or less. Avoid
bringing instruments that produce magnetic fields or magnets near the instrument.
Using the instrument near a strong magnetic field source can cause measurement
errors.
Installation Procedure
CAUTION
When mounting the instrument on DIN rails, prevent the instrument from falling by
securing the DIN rails using a metal plate of 2 mm or more in thickness, fastened
with at least three screws.
The MX100 can be used on a desktop, on a floor, in a rack mount, or in a panel mount.
In all cases, be sure to install the instrument in a vertical position.
