2.0Installation
Caution: If equipment is used in a manner not specified by manu- facturer, protection provided by equipment may be impaired
This section provides detailed procedures for properly installing, wiring, configuring and, if needed, trouble- shooting the Jupiter magnetostrictive level transmitter.
In most cases the unit will be shipped from the factory attached to the Orion Instruments magnetic level indicator. In some cases, such as retrofit applications of a reed chain transmitter with a Jupiter instrument, the installation and set up will need to be performed in the field.
2.1Unpacking
Unpack the instrument carefully. Inspect all units for damage. Report any concealed damage to carrier within 24 hours. Check the contents against the packing slip and purchase order. Check and record the serial number for future reference when ordering parts.
Caution: Do not discard the shipping container until all parts are accounted for and inspected.
2.2Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Handling Procedure
Magnetrol/Orion’s electronic instruments are manufac- tured to the highest quality standards. These instruments use electronic components that may be damaged by static electricity present in most work environments.
The following steps are recommended to reduce the risk of component failure due to electrostatic discharge.
•Ship and store circuit boards in
•Use a grounding wrist strap when installing and removing circuit boards. A grounded workstation is recommended.
•Handle circuit boards only by the edges. Do not touch components or connector pins.
•Make sure that all electrical connections are completely made and none are partial or floating. Ground all equip- ment to a good, earth ground.
