Site Preparation Requirements - Cardinal 200 Installation And Technical Manual

SITE PREPARATION REQUIREMENTS

The Model 200 Weight Indicator is a precision weight-measuring instrument. As with any
precision instrument, it requires an acceptable environment to operate at peak performance
and reliability. This section is provided to assist you in obtaining such an environment.
Environmental
The Model 200 Weight Indicator meets or
exceeds all certification requirements
within a temperature range of 14 to 104 °F
(-10 to +40 °C).
In order to keep cooling requirements to a
minimum, the indicator should be placed
out of direct sunlight and to provide
adequate air circulation, keep the area
around the indicator clear.
Make certain the indicator is not directly in
front of a heating or cooling vent. Such a
location will subject the indicator to
sudden temperature changes, which may
result in unstable weight readings.
Insure that the indicator has good, clean
AC power and is properly grounded.
In areas subject to lightning strikes,
additional protection to minimize lightning
damage, such as surge suppressors,
should be installed.
Electrical Power
The 200 indicator has been designed to
operate from 90 to 264 VAC 50/60 Hz
VDC 1A plug-in UL/CSA listed AC power
(Cardinal part number 6800-1035).
adapter
 The socket-outlet supplying power to the indicator should be on a separate circuit from the
distribution panel and dedicated to the exclusive use of the indicator.
 The socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.
 The wiring should conform to national and local electrical codes and ordinances and should
be approved by the local inspector to assure compliance.
 On installations requiring 230 VAC power, it is the responsibility of the customer to have
a qualified electrician install the proper power cord plug that conforms to national electrical
codes and local codes and ordinances.
