Hardware Installation; Step 1 Install 5X00; Location Considerations - YSI MultiDO 5400 User Manual

Hardware Installation

Correctly install 5X00 system components to ensure accurate data collection and
reliable operation. First, determine what monitor, control, and alarm functions
the 5X00 system will perform. Because system components are wired to the 5X00
instrument, it is important to determine where and how components will be installed
and configured. Preparing a system schematic (figure 3.1) is helpful.
Figure 3.1
Hardware installation steps (not all steps required for all applications):
Step 1 - install 5X00 instrument
Step 2 - locate and install sensor(s)
Step 3 - ground 5X00
Step 4 - wire power
Step 5 - wire sensors(s)
Step 6 - wire relays (output devices)
Step 7 - wire aux input devices (excluding temperature probes)
Step 8 - wire a network of 2 - 32 instruments
Step 9 - install and wire communication equipment
Step 10 - install and wire IOEM and REM instruments (optional). IOEM/REM
Installation information is included in a separate manual. See IOEM/REM
Installation and Safety Guide.

terminal strips
•
wrench to tighten bulkhead fittings following system component wiring
•
tweezers to replace the membrane gasket on the YSI 5422 sensor

Step 1 Install 5X00

Select a mounting location and method to mount the 5X00.

Location Considerations

The 5X00 must be located:
•
above any level where water damage can occur
•
away from extremely high or low temperature sources
•
away from vibrating surfaces
•
at least two 2 feet (~.7 m) from any high voltage conduit
