Installation

The following instructions are included to guide you through the installation process. 
Please pay close attention to the 

NOTE, CAUTION, 

and 

WARNING

 texts.

Installation includes the following steps:

• Selecting an appropriate location 

(see 

Selecting a Location 

on page 2-4)

• Positioning or mounting the unit 

(see 

Positioning or Mounting the Unit 

on page 2-5)

• Installing the electronics enclosure (see 

Installing the Electronics Enclosure 

on 

page 2-6)

• Connecting an Ethernet communications cable 

(see 

Connecting the MiniCapt to an Ethernet Network 

on page 2-7)

• Attaching the chassis to the wall (see 

Attaching the Chassis to the Wall 

on page 2-6)

• Connecting the power supply 

(see 

Connecting Power 

on page 2-8)

NOTE: 

There is no ON/OFF button on the MiniCapt Remote Microbial Air 

Sampler. Plugging the unit into power turns it on.

NOTE: 

If installation of the MiniCapt Remote Microbial Air Sampler will  prevent 

access to its Ethernet port (needed for configuration), configure the 
sampler first and then mount the unit.
