3.5 Environmental considerations
While the system is designed to operate in an environment which is hard on
electronic equipment, when you install the system consider the effects of:
l Shock and vibration
l Temperature
l Dust, dirt, and grease
l Water
3.5.1 Shock and vibration
To reduce shock and vibration:
l Securely fasten the equipment to a solid part of the machine. Do not leave
room for movement or rattling.
l Attach the mounting brackets directly to a structural part of the machine.
l Use the shortest possible length for all mounting brackets. Long brackets
introduce more vibration than short ones.
3.5.2 Temperature
The sensors give accurate guidance within their specified operating temperature
range. For optimum performance, do not mount the sensors near the following:
l Hydraulic lines
l Turbo chargers
l Exhaust systems
l Oil reservoirs
Some machines pressurize the instrument cluster area to distribute conditioned air.
If you drill the mounting brackets to these panels, make sure that you reseal these
areas.
3.5.3 Dust
The system components are sealed to exclude dust, but you should also take the
following measures:
