3.Installation
3.1.Introduction
Thefollowingstepsarerequiredtosetup the indicator.
•Inspect indicatortoensuregoodcondition.
•Useconnectiondiagramstowireupload cell,powerandauxiliarycablesas
required.
•Connect Powertoindicatorandpress <POWER> keytoturntheinstrument on.
•RefertotheAccessingSetupsectionpage27forinformationonconfiguring
andcalibrating theinstrument.
•Toturninstrumentoff pressandhold <POWER> keyforthree seconds(until
displayblanks).
3.2.General Warnings
•Indicatornottobesubjecttoshock,excessivevibration orextremesof
temperature(beforeorafterinstallation).
•Inputsareprotected againstelectricalinterference,butexcessivelevelsof
electro-magnetic radiationand RFImayaffect theaccuracyandstability.
•Theinstrument shouldbe installedawayfromanysourcesofexcessive
electricalnoise.
•Theloadcellcableisparticularlysensitivetoelectricalnoiseandshouldbe
located well awayfromanypowerorswitchingcircuits.
•ForfullEMCorforRFIimmunity,termination ofcableshieldsandcorrect
earthingoftheinstrument is essential.
•Indicatorand load cellcablearesensitivetoexcessiveelectricalnoise.Install
wellawayfromanypowerorswitchingcircuits.
3.3.Electrical Safety
