If the max. ambient temperature is exceeded, you must take suitable
measures to protect the instrument against overheating.
You can protect the instrument by providing a suitable insulation
against the heat or mounting the instrument further away from the
heat source.
Make sure these measures are taken into account already in the plan-
ning stage. If you want to carry out such measures later on, contact
our specialists to ensure that the accuracy of the application is not
impaired.
If these measures are not sufficient to maintain the max. ambient
temperature, you could consider using the water cooling system we
offer for MINITRAC 31.
The water cooling must also be included in the calculations for the
measuring point. Contact our specialists regarding the dimensioning
of the water cooling.
