Model 240 Quick Start Guide
NOTE:
Make sure to properly seat connectors.
When removing a sensor, use a screwdriver to gently
remove the connector.
USB Connection
MeasureLINK™ utility
Lake Shore provides a utility called MeasureLINK™,
which makes loading temperature curves into the
Model 240 a very simple process. The program
configures the module and copies curves from
formatted files into the Model 240.
Configure the USB/PC connection
The Model 240 is fully-configurable through direct USB
connection.
NOTE:
After configuring the USB, disconnect it from the
computer before beginning PLC communication.
Physical Installation
The 240 Series input module has been specifically
designed to mount on a DIN rail. To minimize shock
hazard, the instrument is equipped with a grounded
connection to the DIN rail. Mount the input module
vertically, and connect the DIN rail to an electrical
ground. If the input module is mounted in an equipment
rack or enclosure, ensure that the ambient temperature
does not exceed the instrument rating.
NOTE:
For best noise and accuracy performance, install the
input module in a grounded metallic enclosure.
Power and RS-485
connections may be
shared between
modules by using
the optional
backplane
connectors supplied
with the module.
