Warnings and Precautions
Please read these instructions carefully before putting the new terminal into
operation.
Before plugging in the terminal, make sure that the voltage stated on the terminal's
label matches the local power supply voltage. If this is not the case, do not
connect the terminal under any circumstances.
Although the IND780 is ruggedly constructed, it is nevertheless a precision
instrument. Use care in handling and installing the terminal.
Operating Environment
When selecting a location:
• Choose a stable, vibration-free surface
• Ensure there are no excessive fluctuations in temperature and no direct
exposure to sunlight
• Avoid drafts (for example, from fans or air conditioning)
• Readjust (calibrate) the terminal after any major change of geographical
position
Temperature and Humidity
The IND780 can be operated at temperatures and relative humidity conditions as
listed under Operating Environment in Table 1-1. The terminal can be stored at
temperatures ranging from –40° to 60° C (–40° to 140° F) at 10 to 95% relative
humidity, non-condensing.
Environmental Protection
The harsh enclosure meets IP69K requirements. The Panel Mount front panel
sealing provides type 4x and type 12 protection—comparable to IP65 rating.
Hazardous Areas
Not all versions of the IND780 can be operated in areas classified as Hazardous
by the National Electrical Code (NEC) because of the combustible or explosive
atmospheres in those areas. Contact an authorized METTLER TOLEDO
representative for information about hazardous applications. When an approved
WARNING!
THE STANDARD IND780 IS NOT INTRINSICALLY SAFE! DO NOT USE IN
AREAS CLASSIFIED AS HAZARDOUS BY THE NATIONAL ELECTRICAL
CODE (NEC) BECAUSE OF COMBUSTIBLE OR EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES.
