1.3 Sensor Adapter MC-3000S/3020D/3030D
(Optional)
Mounting considerations
When you select a mounting location, keep in mind the following points:
• Locate the equipment away from heat sources because of heat that can build up
inside the cabinet.
• Take into account the length of the cables to connected to the equipment when
choosing an installation location.
• Vibration at the mounting location should be minimum.
• Locate the equipment away from places subject to water splash and rain.
• Referring to the outline diagrams at the back of this manual, leave sufficient space
around the equipment to facilitate maintenance.
• A magnetic compass will be affected if the equipment is placed too close to the
magnetic compass. Observe the compass safe distances at the front of this manual
to prevent interference to a magnetic compass.
• Select the mounting location considering the numbers of the sensor adapters con-
nected.
A maximum of eight MC-3000S can be connected to a sensor network (for
redundant connection:16). Maximum 10 sensor adapters (MC-3020D/3030D) can
be connected to a single MC-3000S.
• Select the mounting location so that the length of cables among the sensor adapters
(MC-3000S, 3020D and 3030D) is less than 6 m. If the length is more than 6 m, the
equipment may not work properly.
How to mount the sensor adapter
1. Unfasten four binding screws to remove the cover from the Sensor Adapter.
2. Fasten four self-tapping screws (4x20, supplied) to fix the Sensor Adapter.
3. Reattach the cover.
