Sensor Adapter MC-3000S/3010A/3020D

Mounting considerations
Select a mounting location, keeping in mind in the following points:
• Locate the unit away from heat sources.
• Select a location where the shock and vibration are minimal.
• Locate the unit away from places subject to water splash and rain.
• Make the maintenance space shown in the outline drawing for maintenance and
checking purpose.
• A magnetic compass will be affected if the unit is placed too close to the magnetic
compass. Observe the compass safe distances at the front of this manual to prevent
interference to a magnetic compass.
• Select a mounting location considering the length of the cables to be connected to
this unit.
• Select the mounting location considering the numbers of the sensor adapters con-
nected.
Maximum eight MC-3000S can be connected to a sensor network.
Maximum 10 sensor adapters (MC-3010A/3020D) can be connected to a MC-
3000S. However, note that five MC-3010A can be connected.
• Select the mounting location so that the length of cables among the sensor adapters
(MC-3000S, 3010A, and 3020D) is less than 6 m. If the total length of the MC1.5-W
is more than 6 m, the equipment may not work properly.
Mounting
