Installation 

Do not use the unit outdoors.
Exposure to rain may cause an electric leakage and/or an electric shock.
Do not install the unit in a location where flammable or volatile
substances are present.
Installing the unit in such a location may cause explosions and/or a fire.
Do not install the unit in a location where there are high levels of moisture
or where it may be splashed with water.
This may cause the insulation to deteriorate, leading to an electric leakage
and/or an electric shock.
Do not install the unit in a location where corrosive gases such as acids
are present.
Deterioration of the insulation due to corrosion of the electric components may
cause an electric leakage or an electric shock.
Do not leave the plastic bags used for packing in a place where they can
be reached by small children.
This may result in unexpected accidents such as suffocation.
Do not use this device close to a pacemaker user.
Radio waves from this device may affect the operation of pacemakers.
Before mounting various sensors to a refrigerator or an incubator, stop
the operation of the refrigerator.
Accidental contact with electrical components inside the refrigerator may cause
electric shock or injury.
Investigate the environment to use Transmitter beforehand.
It will effect to some other device or be affected by using the same frequency
band with others. Refer to Page 45 for CHs which Transmitter uses.
Do not install equipment that can be a source of noise, such as
electrical equipment using the ISM frequency band (2.4, 5.8 GHz), near
the unit.
Radio waves from such equipment may cause malfunction.
This unit is not suitable for use where children may be present.
Unexpected accidents may occur.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS



AC Adaptor (When using AC Adaptor as Power supply)


Never damage the AC Adaptor (by breaking, adapting, placing near a
source of heat, bending with force, twisting, pulling, adding weight, or
binding).
The power plug may cause an electric shock, a short circuit, or a fire. Contact
our sales representative or agent for repairing the cord and plug.
Do not place this unit or other equipment in a position where it is difficult
to disconnect the AC Adaptor.
Failure to disconnect the AC Adaptor may cause a fire in the event of a
problem or malfunction.
Do not plug or unplug the AC Adaptor with wet hands.
This may cause an electric shock.
Remove dust from the AC Adaptor periodically.
Dust on the AC Adaptor may lead to an insulation failure due to moisture and
thus cause a fire. Disconnect the AC Adaptor and wipe it with a dry cloth.
Make sure the power supply plug of the AC Adaptor is pushed fully in.
Faulty insertion of the power supply plug may cause an electric shock or a fire
due to generation of heat. Never use a damaged power supply plug or loose
power outlet.
Grip the AC Adaptor when disconnecting it from the outlet.
Pulling the cord of the AC Adaptor may cause an electric shock or a short
circuit.
Disconnect the AC Adaptor when the unit is not in use for long periods.
Keeping the unit connected may cause an electric shock, an electric leakage,
or a fire due to the deterioration of insulation.
Before proceeding with maintenance or checking the unit, disconnect the
AC Adaptor.
Performing the work while power is still being supplied to the product or while
the AC Adaptor is still connected may cause an electric shock and/or injury.
WARNING



When something is wrong with the unit
Never disassemble, repair, or modify the unit yourself.
Any work carried out by unauthorized personnel may result in an electric shock.
Contact our sales representative or agent for maintenance or repair.
Disconnect the power supply if something is wrong with the unit.
If the unit keeps running under such conditions, there may be a risk of an
electric shock or a fire. Contact our sales representative or agent immediately
for maintenance or repair. ( AC Adaptor or USB cable is selected for the
power supply depending the insulation site. )
Use designated parts for parts replacement.
Using an incorrect part may cause a fire.
When using the unit 
Never insert metal objects such as pins and wires into any gap on the unit.
This may cause a malfunction.
Never splash water directly onto the unit.
This may cause an electric shock or short circuit.

When storing and disposing of the unit
Ask a qualified contractor to carry out disassembly/disposal of the unit
and do not leave the unit in a location that can be accessed by third
parties.
This may result in unexpected accidents (e.g. the unit may be used for
unintended purposes)
Before disposing of the unit with biohazardous danger, decontaminate the
unit to the extent possible by the user.

System Configuration Diagram
Laboratory equipment are classified into 3 groups according to the method of getting monitoring
data.
Gen.3 : PHC products which support LabSVIFT transmitter (hereinafter referred to as
Transmitter) functions and don’t support RS-485 function.
Example : MDF-DU503VH/DU703VH
Gen.2 : PHC products which have RS-485 functions and don’t support Transmitter functions.
Example : MPR-S500H/S500RH
Gen.1 : Products which don’t support both Transmitter and RS-485 function.
Example : MDF-U731M Third party products
Transmitter uses appropriate configurations for each group product as following pages.
Transmitter gets monitoring data and transfer them to LabSVIFT WebSERVICE by Wi-Fi or LAN
transmission.
The IT transmission Port and Protocol are necessary for transmission with the
LabSVIFT WebSERVICE.
・Port (Protocol): TCP 443 (HTTPS) or TCP 8883 (MQTT over TLS) must be
enabled and used.
・NTP Server must be enabled and used.
About these details, contact a facility manager of the place where Transmitter
is installed. WebService operations, refer to the LabSVIFT Web Service
instruction manual.
Wi-Fi or LAN transmission methods may cause communication errs due to
those conditions. And in those cases, data transmission errs may happen.

System Configuration Diagram
Gen.3 : Transmitter uses USB function to communicate with Gen.3 , and can get a power
supply via a connected USB cable from them.
It cannot communicate Gen.3 with RS-485 function.
With Gen.3 , Transmitter can get the following data. (these are examples)
USB transmission -> Getting equipment’s data. (temperature, door open/close data, internal
setting data, mechanic condition data etc.)
Digital sensor -> Getting the equipment’s internal temperature or Ambient one.
Analog converter -> Getting DC level from another measuring equipment.

Gen.2 equipment. And It is necessary to use a bundled AC adaptor to get a
power supply, and to set it to the local mode and input Device ID. (Refer to page 21)
Transmitter can communicate with Gen.2 using RS-485 transmission, but can not
use USB transmission with Gen.2.
With Gen.2, Transmitter can get the following data. (these are examples)
RS-485 transmission -> Getting equipment’s data. Ex) temperature, door open/close data etc.
Digital sensor -> Getting the equipment’s internal temperature or Ambient one.
Analog converter -> Getting DC level from another measuring equipment.
The below is the example installation of Transmitter with MPR-S500H/S500RH.
To use RS-485 transmission, MTR-480 must be pre-installed to Gen.2 products.
And must set Device ID (DAQ ID) with them.
