Installation
Install the 1100LD on Location
A suitable location for use of the SOLAIR 1100LD will have the
following:
• Flat horizontal and stable surface with adequate ventilation to
prevent overheating (4-inches from the rear);
• Adequate earth-grounded AC power of the correct voltage (see
“SOLAIR 1100LD Specifications” on page 2-2);
• Network wiring for the desired protocol (RS485, Ethernet);
• Adequate room to allow easy disconnect of AC power cord;
• An area meeting the temperature, humidity and altitude operating
requirements (see “SOLAIR 1100LD Specifications” on page 2-2).
Install the Optional Batteries
If the SOLAIR 1100LD was ordered with the optional rechargeable Li-
ion batteries, the batteries need to be installed and charged before the
instrument can be used for portable operation. An external battery
charger is available from Lighthouse as an option. For the single-
battery units, follow steps 1-3, for the dual-battery follow steps 4-6.
To install the battery, make sure the power switch on the front of the
unit is in the OFF (out/flush) position, gently lay the SOLAIR on its
side as shown in Figure 3-2 then perform the following:
1. Open the battery compartment door by turning the screw locks
counterclockwise.
