Installing the Instrument
Installation Position
WARNING
To avoid the possibility of fire, never use the instrument with the rear panel
facing down. There are vent holes for the cooling fan on the rear panel. Placing
the instrument with the rear panel down can cause a fire when the instrument
malfunctions. If you must use the instrument with the rear panel down, place a
metal plate or a flame-resistive barrier (grade UL94 V-1 or higher) beneath the
instrument.
• Place the instrument on a flat, even surface as shown in the figure below.
• If you are installing the instrument on a slippery surface, attach the rubber feet (two
pieces, included in the package) to the hind feet.
Place the instrument on a flat,
even surface.
Note
•
The specification of the meter presumes that the TA220 is installed horizontally and that
the meter is in the vertical position. The specifications of the meter cannot be satisfied
when the instrument is installed with the rear panel down.
•
It is possible to install the TA220 with the stand in the upright position. Please note that the
instrument specifications are based on horizontal placement. When using the stand, pull
the stand forward until it locks (perpendicular to the bottom surface of the instrument). If
you are not using the stand, return it to the original position while pressing the leg section
of the stand inward.
