store the device in the borderline temperature ranges for a limited period (maximum 48
hours).
3.2 Installation
NOTICE
Overheating due to heat accumulation in the device
‣To avoid heat accumulation, please always make sure the device is sufficiently cooled.
If the device is operated in the upper temperature limit range, this reduces the operating
life of the display.
The transmitter is designed to be used in a panel.
The orientation is determined by the readability of the display. Connections and outputs are
fitted on the rear of the device. The wires are connected by means of number-coded terminals.
Ambient temperature range:–10 to +60 °C (14 to 140 °F)
3.3 Dimensions
Observe the installation depth of 150 mm (5.91 ") for the device incl. terminals and fastening
clips.
More dimensions can be found in Section "Technical data" →  37.
• Panel cutout: 92 mm x 45 mm (3.62 in x 1.77 in).
• Panel thickness: max. 26 mm (1 in).
• Max. viewing angle range: 45° to the left and right from the central display axis.
• If the devices are arranged horizontally beside one another in the X-direction, or arranged
vertically on top of one another in the Y-direction, the mechanical distance (specified by the
housing and front section) must be observed.

Installation CM14

(item 1). Four opposing screw positions (item 3/4) are available for this purpose.
2. Push the device with the sealing ring through the panel cutout from the front.
3. To secure the tube in the panel, hold the device in a horizontal position and push the
installation frame (item 1), with the threaded rods screwed in, over the tube until the
frame locks into position.
4. Tighten the threaded rods to fasten the device in place.
To disassemble the device, the mounting frame can be unlocked at the locking elements (item
5) and then removed.
3.5 Post-installation check
• Is the sealing ring undamaged?
• Is the mounting frame securely engaged on the housing of the device?

LWARNING
Danger from electrical voltage
‣The entire connection of the electrical system must take place while the device is de-
energized.
Danger if protective ground is interrupted
‣The protective ground connection must be established before any other connection is
made.
NOTICE
Thermal load of the lines
‣Use suitable lines for temperatures of 5 °C (9 °F) above ambient temperature.
Malfunction or destruction of the device due to incorrect supply voltage
‣Prior to commissioning, make sure the supply voltage matches the specifications on the
nameplate (bottom side of the housing).
Ensure the emergency shutoff of the device
‣Provide a suitable switch or power-circuit breaker in the building installation. This switch
must be provided within easy reach of the device and be labeled as a disconnector.
Protect device from overload
‣Provide a overload protection unit (rated current = 10 A) for the power supply line.
Incorrect wiring can cause destruction of the device
‣Observe the terminal designation on the rear of the device.

6.1 Post-installation check and switching on the device
Make sure that all post-connection checks have been carried out before you commission your
device:
• Checklist for "post-installation check", →  10.
• Checklist for "post-connection check" →  13.
After the operating voltage is applied, the green LED lights up and the display indicates the
device is ready for operation.
If you are commissioning the device for the first time, program the setup as described in the
following sections of the Operating Instructions.
When commissioning a device already configured or preset, measuring is immediately started
as per the settings. The values of the channels currently activated are shown on the display.
Remove the protective film from the display as this would otherwise affect the
readability of the display.
6.2 Display settings (Display menu)
You can access the main menu by pressing the 'E' key during operation. The Display menu
appears on the display. Press the 'E' key again to open this menu. Use the "x Back" option,
which can be found at the bottom of each menu/submenu, to move up one level in the menu
structure.

5. Press E to open the Extended Setup menu; System is displayed.
6. Press E to open the System menu.
7. Press + repeatedly until Access code is displayed.
8. Press E to open the setting for access protection.
9. Set the code: press the + and - buttons to set the desired code. The access code is a four-
digit number. The corresponding position of the number is displayed in plain text. Press
E to confirm the value entered and go to the next position.
10. Confirm the last position of the code to exit the menu. The full code is displayed. Press +
to scroll back to the last item of the x Back submenu and confirm this item. By
confirming the point, the value is adopted and the display returns to the Setup level.
Again select the last parameter x Back to also exit this submenu and return to the
measured value/channel display level.
Once access protection has been successfully activated, the lock symbol appears on the
display.
Access to the calibration function can also be blocked by a code. The same procedure is
required here as for locking the setup. To activate it, however, press + repeatedly in step
7 until Calib Code is displayed.
The x Back item at the end of every picklist/menu item takes the user from the submenu
to the next menu level up.
If access protection is enabled, the device locks automatically after 600 seconds without
operation. The display switches back to the operating display.
To enable the setup, set the setup access code in the System Setup to 0000 or delete the
code by pressing C.
If you lose/misplace the code, a reset can only be performed by the Service Department.
