Introduction

This chapter explains the installation of the benchtop and wall-mount
versions of the

OptiSonde

, the various sensors used with the system,

and the I/O and power wiring.

Benchtop Installation

Mounting the Benchtop

The

OptiSonde

benchtop dimensions are shown in Figure 2-1 below.

A metal stand on the bottom of the case can be unfolded to elevate the
front of the instrument for easier viewing, if desired.

Input Power

The

OptiSonde

operates with input power from 100 to 240 VAC

±10%. (See Figure 2-2 below.) The OptiSonde’s voltage and
frequency rating are listed on the product label. A DC option offers a

minimum of 18 to a maximum of 32 VDC operation (See Figure 2-3
on the next page.)
