GENERAL OPERA

TIONS

5. GENERAL OPERATION

5.1.START UP MONITOR

This is a general outline of the steps required to perform accurate measurements:

1. Mount the monitor on a stable support/wall. 
2. Connect the 

HI1285‑8

 probe to the monitor. 

3. Connect the power adapter to the monitor and power source.
4. Set up the monitor. See the “Monitor Menu” section for details.
5. Calibrate the probe.

Mounting the Monitor 

The 

HI981420

 is supplied with mounting holes in the enclosure. It should be wall mounted at 

eye‑level on a vibration‑free surface utilizing all the mounting holes. Consider power source, tank 
location (with regard to sensor cable length) and operating temperature (50 °C/122 °F max) when 
considering installation location.
