Chapter 2 Before Using the Instrument
2.2 Installing the Instrument
Installation location
Install the instrument in a location that meets the following conditions.
 Instrument panel
The instrument is designed for panel mounting.
 Well-ventilated location
To prevent overheating, install the instrument in a well-ventilated location. For the
panel mount type, see section『Dimensional Drawings』
 Minimum mechanical vibrations
Choose an installation location with the minimum mechanical vibration.
 Horizontal
Install the instrument horizontally (However, the instrument can be inclined up to 30
degrees backwards for panel mounting).
Note


Condensation may occur if the instrument is moved to another place where both the ambient
temperature and humidity are higher, or if the temperature changes rapidly. In addition,
measurement errors will result when using thermocouples. In this case, let the instrument
adjust to the new environment for at least one hour before using the instrument.
The lifetime of the LCD may be shortened if the instrument is used in a high-temperature
environment over a long period of time. When installing the instrument in a high-temperature
environment (greater than 40°C), we recommend the backlight brightness of the LCD be set
to a low setting.
Do not install the instrument in the following places:
 In direct sunlight or near heat sources
Install the instrument in a place with small temperature fluctuations near room
temperature (23
can cause adverse effects on the internal circuitry.
 Where an excessive amount of soot, steam, moisture, dust, or corrosive gases are
present
Soot, steam, moisture, dust, and corrosive gases will adversely affect the instrument.
Avoid such locations.
 Near strong magnetic field sources
Do not bring magnets or instruments that produce electromagnetic fields close to the
instrument. Operating the instrument in strong magnetic fields can cause errors in
the measurements.
 Bad angle for viewing the screen
Because the instrument uses a 5.6” TFT color LCD, it is difficult to view the display
from an extreme angle. Please install the instrument so that the monitor can be
viewed from the front.
