1.2.2. Alarm module with voltages >50 V (option AM2, AM6) The optional alarm module is isolated from the low-voltage side of EE360 by a special partition; this must remain fitted at all times in the bottom part of the enclosure.
The UL certified EE360 is dedicated for reliable monitoring of lubrication, hydraulic and insulation oils as well as diesel fuel. In addition to highly accurate measurement of water activity (aw) and tempera- ture (T), EE360 calculates the absolute water content (x) in ppm (see also 2.3 Water activity vs. water content).
For assessing how far is the oil from saturation, x must be regarded together with T. EE360 calculates x out of the measured aw and T values. The calculation is oil dependent and requires a set of oil specific parameters. (Contact an E+E representative for details.) Indoor and Outdoor use The EE360 is suitable for indoor and outdoor use.
• Mount the two DIN rail brackets (to be ordered separately, see chapter 7 Replacement Parts / Acces- sories) onto the back side of the enclosure. • Snap in the enclosure onto the DIN rail Fig. 6 DIN rail installation Operating instructions for EE360 Moisture in Oil Transmitter...
Electrical connection The electrical installation of the EE360 shall be performed by qualified personnel only. Observe all applicable national and international requirements for the installation of electrical devices. Analogue outputs Both analogue outputs shall be configured to either voltage or current. Measurands, analogue range and scaling are freely selectable.

(on the cable side). General safety instructions for installation The installation, commissioning and operation of the EE360 may be performed by qualified staff only. Special attention shall be paid to the correct installation of the probe into the process. In case of inap- propriate installation there is the risk for the probe to be suddenly expulsed due to the pressure in the process.
