- working position is with input connectors downward The way of mounting the holder to data logger: Notes: horizontal working position for data loggers with thermocouple inputs is not suitable using of the original screws is required (longer screws can damage device)! ie-ms2-MS55-06...
Page 8 In cable routing follow rules of standards for installation of low current distribution (EN 50174-2), especially it is necessary to pay attention to avoid electromagnetic interference intrusion to the leads, transmitters, transducers and sensors. Do not locate cabling near sources of interference. ie-ms2-MS55-06...
Page 9 - do not connect cable shielding at end device side, if these device do not have terminal designed for shielding. Shielding must not be connected to outer metal parts of the device nor with other devices. Do not use shielding as a signal lead. ie-ms2-MS55-06...
Page 10 If system is not grounded properly, it is a danger of state, when system floats on variable potential against all other circuitry. It can cause communication dropouts, occasional resets and in extreme case damage of some peripherals. Especially when using pulse power sources (e.g. A1940) it is strongly recommended to ground the system. ie-ms2-MS55-06...

If other devices are controlled based on validity of the condition (relay outputs, sending of SMS message, audible indication etc.), always use nonzero hysteresis and nonzero time delay for creation of condition validity to avoid false alarms at transient effects of input value. ie-ms2-MS55-06...
Page 32 4. if power of data logger is switched OFF in area 3 or 4, after switching ON measured value is over limit decreased of hysteresis, condition stays valid. But if measured value does not match this, condition is invalid immediately.
