Mounting Modules in the Measurement Station
Preparation
Before shipping, a cover plate is affixed to each slot on the measuring station as shown
below. Confirm that there is no power being supplied to the measuring station, then
loosen the two attachment screws and remove the cover plate of the slot into which a
module will be installed. Please note that the left-most slot is reserved for
communications modules, and cannot be used for the WE7231.
* The example below shows the WE400 Measuring Station.

Installing the 30-CH Fast Digital Thermometer Module
WARNING
• Be sure to tightly fasten the upper and lower attachment screws. Connecting an
input cable without first tightening the screws may result in electric shock
because the protective grounding of the measuring station may be rendered
ineffective (depending on the power supply cord).
CAUTION
• To avoid damage to the instrument, turn OFF the standby power switch on the
measuring station when installing a measurement module.
• When inserting the module into the slot, be careful not to pinch your finger in the
release lever. Also, the module guide protrudes from inside the slot, so do not
insert your hand into the slot.
• Do not remove the cover plate from any slot unless a module will be mounted
into it. Doing so could cause problems, for example if the temperature rises. The
cover plate also suppresses the potentially damaging effects of magnetic waves.
Insert the module along the guide rail of the slot from which you removed the cover plate.
Push the module until it clicks into the connector. Be careful not to get your fingers
caught in the ejection lever while inserting the module. When the module is securely
inserted, fasten the module attachment screws (tightening torque: 0.6 to 0.7 N-m).
To remove the module, loosen the module attachment screws and pull the ejection lever
from the inside to the outside. This will force the module out of the slot.
