Recommended minimum panel thickness to maintain Type 4X
rating: 0.06" (1.5 mm) steel panel, 0.16" (4.1 mm) plastic panel.
•Remove the two mounting brackets provided with the meter (back-off
the two screws so that there is ¼" (6.4 mm) or less through the
bracket. Slide the bracket toward the front of the case and remove).
• Insert meter into the panel cutout.
• Install mounting brackets and tighten the screws against the panel.
To achieve a proper seal, tighten the mounting bracket screws
evenly until meter is snug to the panel along its short side. DO NOT
OVER TIGHTEN, as the rear of the panel may be damaged.

Connections
All connections are made to removable screw terminal connectors
located at the rear of the meter.
Use copper wire with 60°C or 60/75°C insulat ion
for all line voltage connections. Observe all safety
regulations. Electrical wiring should be performed
in accordance with all applicable natio nal, state,
and local codes to prevent damage to the meter
and ensure personnel safety.
Connector Labeling
The connectors label, affixed to the meter, shows the locat ion of the
connectors. It also identifies the location of the RTD/TC selector switch.

SETUP AND PROGRAMMING
• There is no need to recalibrate the meter
when first received from the factory.
•The meter is factory calibrated prior to ship-
ment, for all input types, in degrees Fahrenheit. The calibration equipment is certified to
NIST standards.
Overview
There are no jumpers involved in the setup process of the meter. T he
RTD/TC selector switch, located bet ween the SIGNAL and RJ11 connectors, must be set accordingly for the meter to accept RTD or thermocouple inputs, Figure 2.
Setup and programming is done through the front panel buttons.
After power and signal connections have been completed and ver ified,

Recommended Calibration Points
To recalibrate the meter, it is recommended to use the Fahrenheit scale;
this will give a greater degree of accuracy to the calibration. T he scale
can be changed to the Celsius scale after calibration is completed. The
meter will display temperature accurately in any scale. The follo wing table shows the recommended low and high calibration points for all
types.
