2. Installation and Setup
This section contains the necessary steps to assist in getting a new vacuum gauge into operation as quickly and
easily as possible. Please read the following thoroughly before attempting to install the instrument.
Receiving Inspection
Prior to opening, inspect for obvious signs of damage to the shipment. Immediately advise the carrier who
delivered the shipment if any damage is suspected. If the shipment has arrived intact, carefully unpack the
gauge and any accessories that have been ordered. Check each component shipped with the packing list.
Ensure that all parts are present (i.e. gauge, power supply, cables, etc.). Optional equipment or accessories
will be listed separately on the packing list.

2.2.1. Mounting
NOTICE: The THCD-101 should be installed in a clean and careful manner. Take care not to drop the
product and avoid impacts to prevent damage.
The THCD-100 can be panel mounted, or used on a bench top and is a standard 96 x 48mm panel meter
enclosure. Note that the instrument must always be situated in such a way as to enable adequate air
circulation about the unit. If a transducer was supplied with the THCD-101, a suitable cable may have been
included.
A panel mount kit will have been supplied with the instrument. This consists of two screws (M3x6), two
brackets and two screws (50mm). Fit the M3x6 screws into the side of the unit into the diagonally opposed
holes. Do not tighten these screws, to allow the bracket to slide over the screw head. Thread locking adhesive
may be used but is not required, as these screws cannot rotate once the bracket is tightened. Insert the meter
into the panel. A cutout of 3.63” x 1.84” (92 x 45mm) is recommended. Slip the mounting bracket over the
screw head and tighten the 50mm screws. The unit should now be secure.
