3.1 Location
Select a stable location on which to place the M310. Since any blackbody source stability can be
affected by moving air currents near the emitter, avoid locations where air currents are active
such as near vents, walkways for people, etc.
3.2 Air Outlet Clearance
The heating system requires constant air flow in the enclosure for proper operation. The air
outlet (fan) on the rear panel must not be obstructed. Allow at least 3 inches clearance for the
outlet region. Blocking this port will degrade performance and cause failures.
3.3 Line Voltage
Read the specification label on the rear panel to ensure the AC LINE voltage you are about to
use matches the voltage on the M310 label (100 or 115 or 230 VAC at 500W maximum).
3.4 RS-232C Communication
The M310 has optional serial communication port for automating the calibration process using a
PC. Wiring to this port is covered in the section on Serial Communications.
