Installation 

Select a stable location on which to place the M310-HT. Since any blackbody source stability can 
be affected by moving air currents near the emitter, avoid locations where air currents are active 
such as near vents, walkways for people, etc. 

 

 

Warning: 

Do not locate this unit where it is subject to excessive shock, vibration, 

dirt, moisture, oil or other liquids.   

3.1

 

Air Outlet Clearance 

The heating system requires constant air flow in the enclosure for proper operation. The air 
outlet (fan) on the rear panel must not be obstructed. Allow at least 3 inches clearance for the 

outlet region. Blocking this port will degrade performance and cause failures. 

3.2

 

Line Voltage 

Read the specification label on the rear panel to ensure the AC LINE voltage you are about to 

use matches the voltage on the M310-HT label (100 or 115 or 230 V AC at 500 W maximum). 

3.3

 

RS232C Communication 

The M310-HT has a serial communication port for automating the calibration process using a PC. 
Wiring to this port is covered in the section on Serial Communications Settings.
