NSTALLATION NOTES
:
•
Do not open the gauge or loosen the cover screws.
•
Do not overtighten the fixing screws.
•
Do not use fixing screws that are too short or long. The correct screws [M5 by 16] are supplied
with the gauge head for mounting it to the HST3 height stand which has a thickness of 8mm. If a
stand of different thickness is used then the screw length supplied may not be suitable.
•
Do not place in a position close to a hot surface.
•
Do not allow the cable being measured to touch the gauge head.
•
If a large cable is being measured then ensure that it is supported so that the cable end does not
catch on the gauge.
•
Ensure that the cable alignment is perpendicular to the face of the gauge with the least error
practically possible, an angle error of one degree gives a measurement error of 0.013%, at two
degrees this becomes 0.05%.

Earth connection
Connector type: M5 bolt
•
An earth wire of at least 6mm
2
must be attached via a crimp on ring terminal to the dedicated
M5 earth bolt on the case of the gauge.
•
Do not rely on the mounting bolts to provide a reliable earth path.
•
If a height stand is used then it must also be earthed via its own dedicated earth wire.
•
All earth wires should be kept as short as practical.
Shielded Cables
•
Use shielded cable for all signal connections.
