Warning
During installation do not apply force to the in-
strument housing or antenna. Use a proper wrench
for all installations. Failure to use correct installa-
tion procedures can cause damage to the Transmit-
ter.

3.1.1: Transmitter Positioning

July 2012
In this section mechanical installation instructions are discussed for the
various setup capabilities of the Dual Analog Input Transmitter.
Each Honeywell Dual Analog Input Transmitter is a rugged device which
!
provides optimal performance when installed with careful consideration.
Installation practices greatly affect the life that you can expect from your
Honeywell Dual Analog Input Transmitter. The main considerations for
installation are covered below.
Give careful consideration to the environment where you will be installing
your instrument. Avoid installations that expose the device to excess
temperature, high vibration, considerable shock, or exposure to dripping
condensate or corrosive materials. Also avoid installing the device in an
unserviceable location.
Most often these problems can be avoided with some thought at the time
of installation. The practices noted below are generally recommended, but
they can only act as a guideline and cannot cover all possible variations.
The final installation must be made at your discretion and approval. You
must be the judge of the actual installation.
Dimensioned mechanical drawings for aid in mechanical installation are
located in Section 9: Technical Specifications
Correct positioning of the Transmitter will ensure the best performance of
the device. When planning the positioning of the Transmitters, there are a
few parameters that must be paid attention to:
•
The top of the Transmitter should point upwards. The bottom
of the Transmitter should NOT point directly at the Base
Radio and the Transmitter LCD should point away from the
Base Radio.
•
All Transmitters should maintain an approximate spacing of
at least six feet apart from one another. Should you need to
put Transmitters closer than six feet, please see Section
3.1.1.1 entitled "Technique for Close Positioning of
Transmitters".
•
The line of sight range between a Transmitter and Base
Radio is 2000 feet at the 19.2K baud rate setting. Note that
this range is reduced by the amount of RF noise present,
obstructions, and the material properties of the obstruction.
•
Only
temperatures of -40°F to 185°F (-40°C to 85°C).
Figure 3.1 gives examples of incorrect setups according to the previously
mentioned parameters.
