Determining the Installation Position
Before installing the SmartLogger, determine an appropriate position to ensure that the SmartLogger works properly.
- Do not install the SmartLogger outdoors because it is protected to IP20.
- Install the SmartLogger in a dry environment to protect it against water.
- Keep the product in an ambient temperature range of –40°C to +60°C and away from direct sunlight.
- The communication distance for the RS485 port should be less than 1000 m and for the Ethernet less than 100 m.
- Install the SmartLogger at an appropriate height for the user's ease to view and operate on the monitoring panel.
- Do not place the SmartLogger upside down. Ensure that the heat dissipation holes are facing upwards, preventing dust from entering the SmartLogger and reducing its service life.
- Choose appropriate installation method and position for the Smart Logger according to its weight and size. For details, refer to Technical Specifications.
- If you install the SmartLogger on a wall or along a guide rail, the area for connecting cables should be downwards.
- The SmartLogger is at least 100 mm away from the neighboring objects on both sides, the top side, and the bottom side respectively, as shown in Figure 3-2.
