Omega RD100B manual Installation Location

2.2 Installation

Installation Location

Install the recorder indoors in a location that meets the following conditions. See also the normal operating conditions described in section 12.6, “General Specifications.”

•Instrument Panel

The recorder is designed for panel mounting.

•Well-Ventilated Location

To prevent overheating, install the recorder in a well-ventilated location.

For the panel cut dimensions when arranging multiple recorders, see page 2-4. Follow the panel cut dimensions providing adequate space between instruments when other instruments are arranged on the panel.

•Minimum Mechanical Vibrations

Choose an installation location with the minimum mechanical vibration.

Installing the recorder in a location with large mechanical vibration not only causes adverse effects on the mechanism but also may hinder normal recording.

•Horizontal

Install the recorder horizontally (However, the recorder can be inclined up to 30 degrees backwards for panel mounting).

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. In addition, measurement errors will result when using thermocouples. In this case, let the recorder adjust to the new environment for at least one hour before using it.

•The chart paper may be adversely affected by a rapid change in the ambient temperature and humidity.

Do not install the instrument in the following places.

•Outdoors

•In direct sunlight or near heat sources

Install the recorder in a place with small temperature fluctuations near room temperature (23°C). Placing the recorder in direct sunlight or near heat appliances 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 recorder. Avoid such locations.

•Near Strong Magnetic Field Sources

Do not bring magnets or instruments that produce electromagnetic fields close to the recorder. Operating the recorder in strong magnetic fields can cause errors in the measurements.
