5 Mounting
The inclination measuring system is to be mounted according to standard EN6079-14. The system has to
be mounted, so that all labels are readable and all connections are within reach. The cable has to be laid
effectively protected against damages. By false application and operation of the system there’s danger of
explosion on site or surrounding area. In order to avoid that, it’s to be made sure that:
■
no equalization currents must flow over the system.
■
maintenance instructions are followed.
■
the system is not installed near operating equipment or material, which operating
temperature exceeds the allowed environment temperature of the system.
■
The cable length doesn’t exceed 120 m.
For further information please refer to chapter 3 “technical description”.
5.1 Starting Up
After a correct mounting as well as correct electrical connecting, a slight adjustment of the zero-point
may be necessary. For that, the measurement object must be leveled exactly horizontally and the
measuring system must be adjusted to either 4 mA, or 12 mA, depending on the version.
The measuring signal can be between circa 3,8 and 22 mA (whereas the upper value is depending on
the supply voltage).
After adjusting the zero point, the functionality and calibration of the whole system is to be checked.

Notice:
The case / amplifier must not be opened! Otherwise the gasket will be damaged and the
specified protection class / tightness will be reduced. If opened nonetheless, the gasket must be renewed
professionally.
