3. INSTALLATION
3.1 Site Preparation Requirements
The Cardinal Model 201 Weight Transmitter is a precision weight-
measuring instrument. As with any precision instrument, it requires an
acceptable environment to operate at peak performance and reliability.
This section is provided to assist you in obtaining such an environment.
3.1.1 Environmental
The Model 201 Weight Transmitter is supplied as open-type equipment.
It must be mounted within an enclosure that is suitably designed for those
specific environmental conditions that will be present and appropriately
designed to prevent personal injury from accessibility to live parts.
The weight transmitter meets or exceeds all certification requirements
within a temperature range of 14 to 104 °F (-10 to +40 °C).
In order to keep cooling requirements to a minimum, the weight transmitter
should be placed out of direct sunlight and to provide adequate air
circulation, keep the area around it clear.
Make certain the weight transmitter is not directly in front of a heating or
cooling vent. Such a location will subject the weight transmitter to sudden
temperature changes, which may result in unstable weight readings.
