2.3.3 Operational Considerations
Exterior ambient temperature of the service should not
exceed the design specifications of the electronics (-40° to
+175° F (-40° to +80° C)). The operating temperature
limits of the LCD are -5° to +160° F (-20° to +70° C).
Temperatures below -5° F will cause the display to tem-
porarily white out, and temperatures above +160° F will
cause the display to go temporarily black. It will recover
without damage when the operating temperature range
returns. A sunshade should be used if electronics are
mounted in direct sunlight.
Maximum process temperature for direct insertion
transmitters is +500° F (+260° C). Externally mounted
transmitters can be used with process temperatures up
to +800° F (+427° C) if the MLI is equipped with an
insulation blanket from the factory.
2.3.4 Configuration Information

Caution:
Do not rotate the Jupiter electronics enclosure. Rotating
the electronics enclosure could cause damage to sensor
cables.
If ordered from the factory with the MLI, it will be
attached to the gauge and configured for the measuring
range specified at the time of order placement. If not, use
the following directions:
1. Place the Jupiter transmitter and mounting clamps in a
convenient location.
