3.1 Installing the Instrument - Details
A general schematic of instrument installation is given in section 2.3 on page
2-7 , use it for reference. The importance of grounding the instrument cannot be
over emphasized for both safety and performance needs.
3.1.1 Control Unit Installation
Review the specific suggestions and warnings concerning safety and
installation that are presented in
section 1.1 on page 1-1 .
It is generally advisable to centrally locate the controller, minimizing the length
of external cabling. The cable from the instrument to the XIU is 15’ (4.572 m).
Longer cables are specifiable as 30’ (9.144 m) or 100’ (30.28 m), refer to
section 2.5.6 on page 2-20 for ordering details.
The monitor unit is designed to be rack mounted. It may be also used on a table;
four self-adhesive rubber feet are included in the ship kit for this purpose.
3.2 Electrical Grounding and Shielding
Requirements
Careful consideration of simple electrical guidelines during installation will
avoid many problems caused by electrical noise.
To maintain the required shielding and internal grounding as well as insuring
safe and proper operation, the instrument must be operated with all enclosure
covers and option panels in place. These must be fully secured with the screws
and fasteners provided.
