2.2 Installaton
Installaton Locaton
Install the recorder indoors in a location that meets the following conditions. See also the
normal operating conditions described in section 12.6, “General Specifications.”
• Instrument Panel
The recorder is designed for panel mounting. The portable type (/H5x option) is
designed to be used on the desktop.
• Well-Ventlated Locaton
To prevent overheating, install the recorder in a well-ventilated location.
For the panel cut dimensions when arranging multiple recorders, see section 12.7.
Follow the panel cut dimensions providing adequate space between instruments when
other instruments are arranged on the panel. We recommend that you secure at least
50 mm of space from the left, right, top, and rear panels on the portable type (/H5x
option).
• Mnmum Mechancal Vbratons
Choose an installation location with the minimum mechanical vibration.
Installing the recorder in a location with large mechanical vibration not only causes
adverse effects on the mechanism but also may hinder normal recording.
• Horzontal
Install the recorder horizontally (However, the recorder can be inclined up to 30
degrees backwards for panel mounting).
Note
• Condensation may occur if the recorder is moved to another place where both the ambient
temperature and humidity are higher, or if the temperature changes rapidly. In addition,
measurement errors will result when using thermocouples. In this case, let the recorder
adjust to the new environment for at least one hour before using it.
• The chart paper may be adversely affected by a rapid change in the ambient temperature
and humidity.
Do not install the instrument in the following places.
• Outdoors
• In drect sunlght or near heat sources
Install the recorder in a place with small temperature fluctuations near room
temperature (23°C). Placing the recorder in direct sunlight or near heat appliances
can cause adverse effects on the internal circuitry.
• Where an excessve amount of soot, steam, mosture, dust, or corrosve
gases are present
Soot, steam, moisture, dust, and corrosive gases will adversely affect the recorder.
Avoid such locations.
• Near Strong Magnetc Feld Sources
Do not bring magnets or instruments that produce electromagnetic fields close to the
recorder. Operating the recorder in strong magnetic fields can cause errors in the
measurements.
