Warning
Equipment warnings apply to all system installation configurations. Refer to
“Equipment Warnings” on page xv, in the Forward to be familiar with the
safety requirements for a system installation.
2.1 Unpacking and Inspecting the Instrument
Carefully remove the equipment, interconnecting cabling, and
documentation CD (and/or printed material) from the shipping carton, and
remove all packaging material.
Note
If there is any shipping damage, save all packing material and contact the
shipping company representative to file a damage claim. Do not return to AMI
unless prior authorization has been received.
2.2 Mounting the Model 1700 Instrument
If the Model 1700 Instrument is to be used as a table top model, place the
equipment on a flat, secure surface.
If the Model 1700 Instrument is to be rack mounted, install it in a 19" wide
instrument rack using the mounting hardware supplied by the rack
cabinet manufacturer. The feet on the bottom of the instrument may be
removed to facilitate rack mounting. Secure the front panel to the rack rail
in each of the four corners.
2.3 Installing Capacitance-Based Liquid Level Sensors
Refer to the installation instructions provided with the level sensor(s). The
following steps are general installation notes and should be used to
supplement the installation instructions provided with the sensor.
Exercise care when installing the capacitance sensor since dents, crimps,
bends or other physical distortions in the cylindrical capacitor will change
electrical characteristics, possibly causing calibration errors and/or
disruption of proper instrument operation. Before installing the sensor,
review “Calibration” on page 37 to determine what, if any, calibration
procedures may be necessary prior to operation.
