Euroscan MX1 5
Document number: EN-301-1:UD - based on Firmware version 1.033 and forward
2. Installation
In general, Euroscan temperature recorders are supplied with all required components for a standard installation.
A standard installation includes the mounting of the unit itself, mounting and connecting of two temperature
sensors. Optionally, 2 extra sensors and up to 4 digital (status) inputs can be connected. The main steps of the
installation are described in the following chronological order. It’s preferable to configure the settings of the
MX1 recorder before mounting the recorder on a truck. How to configure the settings of the MX1 recorder is
described in paragraph 2.7.
2.1 Temperature sensors
Euroscan Temperature recorders can only be used with Euroscan temperature sensors as supplied with the
Euroscan package.
Before installation, it is necessary to determine how many measurement points are required to retrieve the
desired information. Only with an optimal choice of the number and the position of the sensors can a sensible
conclusion be drawn of the air temperature in an entire compartment.
The following items must be observed at planning:
The temperature sensor must not be mounted in a location without air circulation.
The sensor position should be protected against bumping of load, doors, etc.
The channel of the interior light must have a minimum distance of 0,5 m to the sensors.
At least one sensor per compartment and also one sensor in the return air are recommended. The best
position of a compartment sensor is in the middle under the ceiling at about 1/3 of the compartment length
counted from the back.
The compartment sensor should be mounted with the Euroscan protection guard, which will allow sufficient air
circulation around the sensor.

2.2 Digital inputs
The digital inputs allow monitoring and registration of doors (open/close) or defrost and refrigeration (on/off). By
configuring the parameters, the interpretation of the corresponding status can be distinguished.
2.3 Power supply
The power supply must be connected directly to the vehicle or fridge battery. The included 10A (T) floating fuse
must be fitted in the +power line as close as possible to the power connection. The Euroscan recorders are
suitable for a voltage between 10 and 36 Volt DC.
