Installing the Instrument
Installation Conditions
Install the instrument in a place that meets the following conditions.
Flat, even surface
If the instrument in not installed on a stable horizontal surface, the printer’s recording
quality may degrade and precise measurements may be impeded.
Well-ventilated location
Vent holes are located on the top and bottom of the instrument. In addition, vent
holes for the cooling fan are located on the top. To prevent internal overheating, allow
at least 20 mm of space around the vent holes.
When connecting measurement wires and other various cables or when opening or
closing the built-in printer cover, allow extra space for operation.
Ambient temperature and humidity
Ambient temperature : 5 to 40
°
C
Ambient humidity : 20 to 85%RH (when the printer is not used)
35 to 80%RH (when the printer is used)
No condensation in either case.
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 gases are present.
•
Near strong magnetic field sources.
•
Near high voltage equipment or power lines.
•
Where the level of mechanical vibration is high.
•
In an unstable place.
Note
•
For the most accurate measurements, use the instrument in the following environment.
Ambient temperature : 23
±
3
°
C Ambient humidity : 50
±
10%RH (no condensation)
When using the instrument in a place where the ambient temperature is 5 to 20
°
C or 26 to
40
°
C, add the temperature coefficient to the accuracy of the module as specified in
chapter 17.
•
When installing the instrument in a place where the ambient humidity is 30% or below,
take measures to prevent static electricity such as using an anti-static mat.
•
Internal condensation may occur if the instrument is moved to another place where both
the ambient temperature and humidity are higher, or if the temperature changes rapidly.
In this case, let the instrument adjust to the new environment for at least one hour before
using the instrument.
Storage Location
When storing the instrument, avoid the following places:
• Where the relative humidity is 80% or more.
• In direct sunlight.
• Where the temperature is 60
°
C or higher.
• Near heat sources.
• Where the level of mechanical vibration is high.
• Where corrosive or explosive gas is present.
• Where an excessive amount of soot, dust, salt, and iron are present.
• Where water, oil, or chemicals may splash.
It is recommended that the instrument be stored in an environment where the
temperature is between 5 and 40
°
C and the relative humidity is between 20 and 80%.
