6. Installing the SCU1
6.1. Location of the Equipment
6.1.1. Environmental Precautions
WARNING:
This equipment is powered by mains electricity. It should not be used in wet or
damp locations, where water may enter the unit and create a safety hazard.
Refer to the product brochure for maximum environmental ratings for the SCU1.
Caution:
Exceeding the maximum environmental ratings may cause irreparable damage to
the equipment.
6.1.2. Mounting
The SCU1 can be used:
•
free-standing, on a bench-top, or
•
mounted in a 19” rack, using the integral side brackets.
6.1.3. Orientation
The SCU1 can be orientated horizontally or vertically.
6.1.4. Temperature
To minimise temperature induced drift effects, position the SCU1:
•
in a constant ambient temperature
•
out of direct sunlight.
6.1.5. Proximity to Other Equipment
The SCU1 contains no high frequency electronics likely to cause emissions which could cause
interference with other equipment. The unit is unlikely to be affected by interference from other
equipment in the normal operating environment.
Note:
The sensors used with this unit, being designed to measure magnetic fields, are
susceptible to electromagnetic interference. Avoid operation close to high frequency
sources of radiation. Interference is indicated by instability in the reading when the sensor
is maintained in a fixed position.
