3.0 MECHANICAL ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION


3.1 UNPACKING AND INSPECTION
Your 504 transmitter was systematically inspected and tested, then carefully packed before shipment. Unpack the instrument and inspect for shipping damage. If possible, remove the casing and visually inspect the internal circuitry. Notify the freight carrier immediately if damage exists.

Each package includes an assembled transmitter and an owners' manual. If these items are not according to your order, contact your local distributor or Newport Electronics.
3.2 SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
As delivered from the factory/distributor, this instrument complies with required safety regulations. To prevent fire or electrical hazard and to ensure safe operation, please follow the guidelines below.

VISUAL INSPECTION:
Do not attempt to operate the unit if damage is found.

MOUNTING:
Observe the mounting instructions in Sections 3.3 through 3.6, as applicable. The transmitter must be tightly secured at the time of installation. Case dimensions are provided in Section 6.0.

POWER VOLTAGE:
Verify that the instrument is connected for the power voltage rating that will be used (9-50 V dc). If not, make the required changes as described in Section 4.

POWER WIRING:
This instrument has no power switch; it will be in operation as soon as the power is connected.

SIGNAL WIRING:
Do not make signal wiring connections or changes when power is on. Make signal connections before power is applied. If connection changes are required, first disconnect the power.

EXERCISE CAUTION:
As with any electronic instrument, high voltage may exist when attempting to install, calibrate, or change the push-on jumpers of the transmitter.

The low voltage requirement of the 504 enables its use with a current-loop indicator (Newport Model 508 recommended). Tapped holes on the back of the case provide for custom mounting to a flat surface; flanges on the back of the case provide for standard 8TK2 relay track mounting. For flat surface mounting, use #6 hardware. For 8TK2 relay track mounting, simply push onto track.

3.3 OPTIONAL ADAPTERS FOR MOUNTING

The following optional adaptors provide various mounting choices:

a.
Adaptor plate for either front-screw-entry surface mount, or TR2/2TK relay track mount (see Figure 3-2).

b.
Rail clamp for DIN-EN-50 022 relay track mount (Figure 3-3).

c.
Spring retainers for external 76.4 to 88.9 mm (3 to 3.5 in) explosion-proof housing mount (see Figure 3-4).
