It is the 

operator’s

 responsibility to ensure cable routing, conduits and connection to the unit meets 

with any local safety regulations. 
 
It is advised to perform a calibration before placing the lid on the enclosure (see section 8), 
adjusting the calibration potentiometer as necessary. If wall mounting kit BP:440 is being used it 
should also be attached to the MK:440 before placing the lid on the enclosure.

Earth bonding 

The MK:440 has several earth bonding points, it is essential the product is connected to a suitable 
ground connection. Earthing points are illustrated below: 

 

 

Note that the external and internal earths of the enclosure share an electrical connection, but the 
lid does not. Both parts of the enclosure must be connected to a suitable ground connection.
