2.7. INSTALLATION OF THE COLOUR-CODED MARKERS For multiple-phase measurements, start by marking the accessories and terminals with the colour-coded ID markers supplied with the device; a different colour for each terminal. Detach the appropriate inserts and place them in the holes under the terminals (larger inserts for current terminals, smaller inserts for voltage terminals).
2.9. MOUNTING As a logger, the PEL is designed to be installed for an extended period in a utility room. The PEL should be placed in a well-ventilated room. Temperature should not exceed the values specified in § 6.5. The PEL can be mounted on a flat ferromagnetic vertical surface using the built-in magnets. The strong magnetic field can damage your hard drives or medical devices.
