Deploying and Mounting the Logger
When mounting the logger, it is very important that the logger
housing does not get distorted. If you are mounting the logger
on an irregular surface, it is recommended that you use the
mounting boot (BOOT-MX2201-2202).
•
The logger must be mounted to a flat surface or in a way
that prevents the logger housing from bowing. You can
deploy the logger by using the two mounting tabs. Insert
two screws through the round holes on the mounting
tabs to affix the logger to a flat surface, being careful not
to overtighten the screws. Alternatively, you can hang
the logger using a loose zip tie loop.
Guidelines for Using the Mounting Boot
•
To install the logger in a boot, hold both the boot and the
logger upside down and insert the logger mounting tab
into the boot as shown.
Insert the other logger mounting tab into the boot,
making sure the logger is securely seated in the boot as
shown.
Use screws with
the round holes
