g

procedure to install SmartSlot Measure-UPS II:

1. Install and configure any software or hardware that will be used

with Measure-UPS

II

for data reporting (see software and hard-

ware compatibility above).

2. Using figure 2 as a guide, install Measure-UPS

II

in the host

SmartSlot. Use a #2 Phillips head screwdriver to remove the host

device SmartSlot cover plate. Install Measure-UPS

II

. Replace the

cover plate screws. Note: Measure-UPS

II

is sensitive to static

electricity. Handle Measure-UPS

II

by the end plate only. Do not

touch the exposed printed circuit board. While it is not possible to

install Measure-UPS

II

upside down, it is possible to damage it in

the attempt. Note that the edges of the printed circuit board align

with the locating slots in the sides of the SmartSlot. The Smart-

Slot may be oriented horizontally or vertically in the host device.

The host device may be on or off during installation.

3. Connect the supplied probe to probe connector 1 on Measure-

UPS

II

.

Note

: probe connector 2 is not used in Measure-UPS

II

.

4. Place the probe where desired using the supplied hook and loop

fasteners, if needed. Note: The Measure-UPS

II

probe is designed

for use in a controlled environment. Place it in an area that is

within the environment limits set in the specifications (see section

9.) The location must be free from direct sunlight, excessive

moisture, and dust.

Figure 2, SmartSlot installation

Do not:

• Cover any of the ventilation holes on the probe

• Immerse the probe or place it where dew can be expected to

form

• Use the probe in an environment with chlorine gas or insecti-

cides.

5. The contact monitoring connection is a two piece design. Connect

contact closure-type sensors to the removable screw terminal

block using the information in section 4 as a guide. The connector

accepts wire sizes from 14 AWG (1.6 mm2) to 26 AWG (.4

mm2). Strip the wire insulation 0.25" (6 mm). Connect the screw

terminal block to the Sensor Zones connector of Measure-UPS

II

.
