Installation Conditions
Install the instrument in a place that meets the following conditions.
Ambient Temperature and Humidity
Use the instrument in the following environment:
• Ambient temperature: 5 to 40
°
C
However, in order to obtain highly accurate measurements, operate the instrument in
the 23
±
5
°
C temperature range.
• Ambient humidity: 20 to 80%RH
No condensation should be present. However, in order to obtain highly accurate
measurements, operate the instrument in the 50
±
10% RH range.
Note
Condensation may occur if the recorder is moved to another place where both the ambient
temperature and humidity are higher, or if the temperature changes rapidly. If this happens,
let the recorder adjust to the new environment for at least one hour before using it. If you
transport the instrument in its packing box, to prevent condensation, allow it to adjust to the
new ambient temperature for at least an hour before taking it out of the box.
Flat and Even Location
Place the instrument on a flat, even surface. Do not place the instrument on an unstable
or sloped surface.
Well-Ventilated Location
Inlet holes are located on the top and sides of the instrument. In addition, there are vent
holes for the cooling fan on the rear panel. To prevent internal overheating, allow for
enough space around the instrument (see the figure below) and do not block the inlet
and vent holes.

is not obstructed.
10 cm or more
Do not install the instrument in the following places.
• Outdoor
• In direct sunlight or near heat sources.
• Where the instrument is exposed to water or other liquids.
• Where an excessive amount of soot, steam, dust, or corrosive gas is present.
• Near strong magnetic field sources.
• Near high voltage equipment or power lines.
• Where the level of mechanical vibration is high.
• On an unstable surface.
