The Proper Installation & Maintenance of TWN-LUX.
MOUNTING.
(1) Mount in a clean environment away from power control equipment. Be mindful of positioning the light sensor, (mounted at
the end of the enclosure) so that the desired level of illumination reaches the sensor. Do Not mount the sensor in direct light
or sunlight - measure reflected light.
(2) Do not subject to vibration or excess temperature or humidity variations.
WIRING.
(1) All cables should be good quality overall screened INSTRUMENTATION CABLE with the screen earthed at one end only.
(2) Signal cables should be laid a minimum distance of 300mm from any power cables.
(3) For 2 wire current loops Austral Standard Cables B5102ES is recommended. For three wire transmitters, RTD's and
Resistance Probes, Austral Standard Cables B5103ES is recommended.
(4) It is recommended that you do not ground current loops and use power supplies with ungrounded outputs.
(5) Lightning arrestors should be used when there is a danger from this source.
(6) Refer to diagrams for connection information.
COMMISSIONING.
(1) Once all the above conditions have been carried out and the wiring checked apply power to the TWN-LUX and allow five
minutes for it to stabilize.
(2) ItisadvisedtoadjusttheoutputoftheTWN-LUXtotheluxlevelrequiredusingacalibratedluxmeter,oncethe"room"being
measured is complete. This is necessary as every installation has a unique reflective pattern, depending on colours,
windows, positioning of walls, furniture, etc. Turn the Trimpot clockwise to increase the output reading, and anticlockwise
to decrease the output reading.
MAINTENANCE.
(1) Repeat (3) of the commissioning instructions. Do it regularly - at least once every 12 months.
