section 10.2.
3.1. Mounting & Site Selection
The instrument is designed for wall mounting. If wall mounting is not practical, the instrument
can be mounted on any suitable level surface. For ease of service there should be about 20 cm
(8”) free area above the instrument; this will ensure enough room for calibration and cuvette
maintenance. Choose a location that is easily accessible for operation and service and ensure
that the front display rests at eye level. The overall mounting dimensions of the instrument are
shown in Figure 3. The recommended mounting screws are M6 (¼”) for the instrument
enclosure and M4 (#8) for the field terminal box. The AM-TBR is designed to have the field
terminal box cradled under the sensor portion of the instrument. It is recommended that the field
terminal box be mounted first, and then the rest of the instrument be mounted on top. The
template on the last page of this manual may be used to establish mounting hole locations.
