5. INSTALLATION
5.1 Location
The BA488CF is housed in a robust aluminium
enclosure with a toughened glass window
mounted in a Noryl bezel. The front of the
instrument provides IP66 protection and a gasket
seals the joint between the instrument enclosure
and the panel. The instrument may be installed in
any panel providing the environmental limits
shown in the specification are not exceeded.
Fig 5 shows the overall dimensions of the
BA488CF and the panel cut-out. To achieve an
IP66 seal between the instrument enclosure and
the panel, the smaller cut-out must be used and
the instrument secured with four panel mounting
clips.
The BA488CF liquid crystal display has maximum
contrast when viewed from directly ahead and
slightly below the centre line of the instrument.

5.2 Installation Procedure
a. Insert the BA488CF into the instrument
panel cut-out from the front of the panel.
b. Fix panel mounting clips to opposite sides
of the instrument and tighten until the
instrument is secure. Four clips are
required to achieve an IP66 seal between
the instrument enclosure and the panel.
c. Connect the panel wiring to the rear
terminal block(s) as shown in Fig 6. To
simplify installation, the terminals are
removable so that panel wiring can be
completed before the instrument is
installed.
