Emerson AMS - 3.4 Select a mounting place

3.4 Select a mounting place
Select a suitable mounting place for the AMS Asset Monitor. Requirements for the
mounting place:
• A flat surface like a wall, mounting plate, or a framework. Ensure that the surface of the
selected mounting place does not impair the airflow at the rear side of the AMS Asset
Monitor.
• A location close to the machine to be monitored. The maximum distance between the
AMS Asset Monitor and the machine depends on the maximum permissible signal
cable length of the connected sensors.
• Place the AMS Asset Monitor on a higher level than sensors installed in the machine to
prevent oil from entering the AMS Asset Monitor through the cables.
• Place the AMS Asset Monitor so that all cables can be led through the cable glands at
the bottom of the AMS Asset Monitor.
• Avoid locations where the AMS Asset Monitor is commonly exposed to direct sunlight.
• A 24 V DC power supply for supplying the AMS Asset Monitor.
• An Ethernet network connection for connecting the AMS Asset Monitor to a network.
• Sufficient space in front of the AMS Asset Monitor to open the door (see Dimensions
and electrical data – AMS Asset Monitor for dimensions).
• Sufficient space around the AMS Asset Monitor to ensure proper cooling. Ensure that
there is no heated surface beneath the AMS Asset Monitor.
• Consider the environmental conditions stated in Environmental conditions – AMS
Asset Monitor.
