8.2
Requirements for site of installation
Mount and install the device in such a way that it is always operated within the
permissible temperature range.
Observe the stipulated hazardous zones: MT devices may only be installed in Zone 2 and
Zone 22.
The site of installation must be stable and suitable for the dimensions of the device, and
able to bear the load of its weight and that of any necessary attachments.
Avoid touch screen contamination by saltwater: conductive liquids on the touch display can
result in incorrect or phantom operations. This applies in particular to salt water.
Protect the device against rain, snow and splashes: excessive amounts of standing or
running water will disrupt operation and may cause erratic cursor movement. This protection
can be achieved by using a canopy or some other protective roof-type construction.
Offshore, strong winds, saltwater and rain will have to also be taken into consideration.
