5.2 Installation Location Requirements
Selecting an optimal installation location for the Logger1000 is critical to safe
operation, long service life, and sound performance.
Take the following requirements into account when selecting the installation
location:
With the ingress of protection IP 20, the Logger1000 can be installed only
indoors.
Ambient temperature range: -30℃to +60℃.
The relative humidity should not exceed 95%. If otherwise, the internal
components will be damaged.
Take anti-moisture and anti-corrosion measures.
Ensure that enough space is reserved around the Logger1000. The installation
location should be 1,500mm above the ground surface, and maintenance
clearance of at least 500mm should be reserved. Minimum clearances are shown
in the figure below.
≥500mm
≥1500mm
≥500mm
≥500mm
Ground
When there are external devices (such as Meteo Station) connected to the
Logger1000, users should add corresponding communication SPD
according to onsite condition.
