IM MT300-02EN
Note
• To ensure high measurement accuracy, operate the instrument within 23°C ± 3°C.
• When using the instrument in a place where the ambient humidity is 30% or less, take measures to
prevent static electricity such as using an anti-static mat.
• Condensation may occur if the instrument is moved to another place where the ambient temperature or
humidity is higher, or if the temperature changes rapidly. In such cases, allow the instrument adjust to the
new environment for at least an hour before using the instrument.
Do not install the instrument in the following places.
• In direct sunlight or near heat sources
• Where an excessive amount of soot, steam, dust, or corrosive gas is present
• Near strong magnetic field sources
• Near noise sources, such as high-voltage equipment or power lines
• Where the level of mechanical vibration is high
• On an unstable surface
• In an environment where ignition or explosion may occur, such as in explosive gas
Installation Orientation
Desktop
Install the instrument so that it is flat or with the rear panel facing down. After installation, be sure to
perform a zero calibration according to section 2.5.
Stand
Feet
Rubber Stoppers
The supplied rubber stoppers can be attached to the rear feet at the bottom of the instrument to
prevent the instrument from sliding. One set of rubber stoppers (two stoppers) are included in the
package.
WARNING
• When you put away the stand, be careful not to get your hand caught between the stand
and the instrument.
• Handling the stand without firmly supporting the instrument can be dangerous. Please take
the following precautions.
• Only handle the stand when the instrument is on a stable surface.
• Do not handle the stand when the instrument is tilted.
• Do not place the instrument in any position other than those shown in the above figures.
CAUTION
Do not apply excessive force or shock to the stand. Doing so may break the stand support.
