AZURA® Detector DAD 6.1L, DAD 2.1L, MWD 2.1L Instructions, V6700

4.  Installation and initial startup

Before you determine the operation site, read the chapter “Technical 

Data” (see chapter 12 on page 60). There you will find all device-speci-

fic information on power supply, ambient conditions and humidity.

Note: 

The intended use be ensured only if the requirements for ambient 

conditions of the operating environment are met.

4.1  Unpacking

Process

1. 

Place the packaging in such a way that the lettering on the label is 

in the correct position.

2. 

Check the packaging, the device and the accessories for transport 

damage. 

3. 

Check the scope of delivery. In the event of incomplete delivery, 

contact Technical Support immediately.

4. 

When lifting, carrying or moving the device, grab the unit only 

from below on the sides. Do not hold onto front cover or leak tray, 

as these parts are loosely attached to the device.

 

ƒ

Keep the included packing list for repeat orders.

 

ƒ

Keep the original packaging for safe storage or transportation.

4.2  Ambient conditions

4.2.1  Operation site

Observe the following requirements for the operation site so that the 

measurement results are not influenced: 

 

ƒ

Place on a firm, level and straight surface.

 

ƒ

Protect against direct sunlight.

 

ƒ

Do not expose to air drafts such as air conditioning systems.

 

ƒ

Do not set up the to other machines that cause floor vibrations.

 

ƒ

Keep from high frequency sources.

 

ƒ

Ensure adequate ventilation (see 4.2.3 on page12 ).

 

ƒ

Avoid temperature fluctuations. (see 4.2.2 on page11 )

4.2.2  Ambient temperature

If the ambient temperature of the device is abruptly changed (e.g. when 

it is installed in a cooling chamber), condensation will form inside the 

device and may cause damage to the device. Allow the device to accli-

mate for 3 h, before it is connected to the power supply and taken into 

operation.
