Avoid installing sensors in hazardous environments
To ensure reliable operation and to prevent damage to Gocator sensors, avoid installing the sensor in
locations
l
that are humid, dusty, or poorly ventilated;
l
with a high temperature, such as places exposed to direct sunlight;
l
where there are flammable or corrosive gases;
l
where the unit may be directly subjected to harsh vibration or impact;
l
where water, oil, or chemicals may splash onto the unit;
l
where static electricity is easily generated.
Ensure that ambient conditions are within specifications
Gocator sensors are suitable for operation between 0–50° C and 25–85% relative humidity (non-
condensing). Measurement error due to temperature is limited to 0.015% of full scale per degree C.
The Master 400/800/1200/2400 is similarly rated for operation between 0–50° C.
The storage temperature is -30–70° C.
The sensor must be heat-sunk through the frame it is mounted to. When a sensor is properly
heat sunk, the difference between ambient temperature and the temperature reported in the
sensor's health channel is less
than 15° C.
Gocator sensors are high-accuracy devices, and the temperature of all of its components must
therefore be in equilibrium. When the sensor is powered up, a warm-up time of at least one
hour is required to reach a consistent spread of temperature in the sensor.
