4.1 Installation guidelines
Electrical shock hazard. Externally connected equipment must have an applicable country safety
standard assessment.
Explosion hazard. This manual is only for installation of the unit in a non-hazardous location. For
installation of the unit in hazardous locations, use only the instructions and approved control drawing
provided in the hazardous location installation manual.
Do not install the controller in an environment with a caustic atmosphere without a protective enclosure. A caustic
atmosphere will cause damage to electronic circuitry and components.
Do not install the controller outdoors in an environment that receives direct sunlight or UV radiation or damage to
the controller can occur. Install the optional UV protection screen with sunroof to prevent damage from UV
exposure when installed outdoors in direct sunlight.
Note: (Network and Claros version only) Make sure that your IT department has approval for the installation and
commissioning of the device. Administrator rights are not necessary. The email address "No-reply@hach.com"
sends the setup email and "donotreply@hach.com" sends the system notifications that are necessary for the
installation. Add the two email addresses to the safe senders list to make sure to receive mails from these senders.
Hach does not send a request to confirm that the sender is not a robot.
