Section 3: Mounting Guidelines
To properly mount the system, please consider the instructions and suggestions given in the
following chapters. Plan all wiring before installing
Datalog X-PRO
. Also consider the cabinet
space, hardware dimensions and rated environmental conditions. Use good wiring practices to
minimize problems that may occur due to electrical interference.
Prevent metal fragments and pieces of wire from dropping inside the enclosure of
any
Datalog X-PRO Main Unit or accessories. If necessary, protect the components
during installation and wiring. Ingress of such fragments and chips may cause a fire
hazard, damage or malfunction of the device.
Main Unit enclosure is a standard network ASA plastic box, with brackets for pole mounting, or
covered perforations for wall mounting; its details are listed in 3.2.1.
NOTE:
The system should be installed with all peripherals attached, to mount the assembly as a single
block. It is strongly recommended to install the antenna so that its axis is vertical with respect to
the ground, as this favors the range of the signals transmitted by the device.
Consider clearing a square area, of 25cm at each side, in the plane in which Datalog X-PRO
needs to be installed. Mount the system near the center of said clear space, so to leave enough
margins to comfortably install its peripherals.
3.1 Environmental Considerations
Device’s Main Unit and sensors are suited to be used in indoor/outdoor wet locations, since their
cases and probes are offered with IP67 protection: as such, they're waterproof and dust-proof, as
well as UV resistant. Environmental limits set for its operation are as follow:
●
Altitude up to 2600 m.
●
Temperature: 41°F – 104°F (5°C to 40 °C)
●
Maximum relative humidity: 100%
●
Pollution degree: 2
Locate Datalog X-PRO and all related components away from AC power/motor
wiring and sources of direct heat output such as transformers, heaters, large
capacity resistors, or shock and vibration sources. Avoid using the device in
areas where chemicals or flammable gases are present to minimize any risk of
ignition.
