Installation Procedure
3.1
Installing the Back Plate
3.1.1
Mounting Location
When choosing a suitable mounting location, the following factors should be considered:
The instrument must be mounted on a wall or structure that can support the weight
of the instrument.
The instrument must not be exposed to rain or water.
The instrument should be mounted near to a mains power socket to allow for easy
connection and network point if advanced connectivity functions are being used.
The instrument must not be exposed to extreme temperatures outside of the
defined operating range (see Product Specifications Table).
3.1.2
Mounting Height and Position
The instrument must be mounted and positioned at a height to accommodate the majority
of expected users and in such a way to allow access to the key lock and to allow the machine
to swing open.
3.1.3
Choosing a suitable mounting location
The Centurion Quantum is designed to be a rugged device however consideration must be
made to its physical location and the possible environmental impacts on the instrument,
particularly from the weather.
The ideal mounting location is indoors, in an ambient, temperature and humidity-controlled
environment. This is typically what you would find in a normal office environment.
The Quantum is designed for industrial and commercial uses which may not lend itself to
the “ideal mounting location” and may necessitate its mounting outdoors or in other
“uncontrolled environments”. In this case consideration must be made towards optimizing
the mounting and ensuring the instrument operates within its design specifications.
Aspects to consider when mounting the Centurion:
Ensure the instrument is protected from the direct effects of the weather, in
particular that it has shelter from rain and other forms of moisture e.g., snow, frost,
condensation.
The instrument should not be mounted in the path of direct sunlight – this can raise
the internal temperature of the instrument beyond its design specifications.
In particular, watch for the changing angel of the sun e.g., the morning or setting
sun, winter sun vs. summer sun when positioning the instrument.
