1 Mounting requirements

ELKM3 This instrument is intended for permanent installation, for

indoor use only, in an electrical panel which encloses the
rear housing, exposed terminals and wiring on the back.
Select a mounting location having the following characteristics:
1. It should be easily accessible;
DIGITAL 2. There is minimum vibrations and no impact;
CONTROLLER 3. There are no corrosive gases;
4. There are no water or other fluids (i.e. condensation);
5. The ambient temperature is in accordance with the
operative temperature (0... 50°C);
6. The relative humidity is in accordance with the instrument
specifications (20... 85%);
The instrument can be mounted on panel with a maximum
thickness of 15 mm.

Engineering Manual When the maximum front protection (IP65) is desired, the
optional gasket must be monted.

8.2 Warranty
This product is under warranty against manufacturing
defects or faulty materials that are found within 18 months
from delivery date. The warranty is limited to repairs or to the
replacement of the instrument.
The tampering of the instrument or an improper use of the
product will bring about the immediate withdrawal of the
warranty’s effects.
In the event of a faulty instrument, either within the period
of warranty, or further to its expiry, please contact our
sales department to obtain authorisation for sending the
instrument to our company.
The faulty product must be shipped to EL.CO. with a detailed
description of the faults found, without any fees or charge for
EL.CO., except in the event of alternative agreements.

8.3 Maintenance
This instrument does not requires periodical recalibration
and it have no consumable parts so that no particular
maintenance is required.
Some times, a cleaning action is suggestible.
1. SWITCH THE EQUIPMENT OFF (power supply, relay
out, etc.).
2. Take the instrument out of its case.
3. Using a vacuum cleaner or a compressed air jet (max. 3
kg/cm2) remove all deposits of dust and dirt which may
be present on the case and on the internal circuits being
careful not to damage the electronic components.
4. To clean external plastic or rubber parts use only a cloth
moistened with:
• Ethyl Alcohol (pure or denatured) [C2H5OH] or
• Isopropyl Alcohol (pure or denatured) [(CH3)2CHOH]
or
• Water (H2O).
5. Make sure that there are no loose terminals.
6. Before putting the instrument back in its case, make sure
that it is perfectly dry.
7. Put the instrument back and turn it ON.

8.4 Accessories
The instrument has a lateral socket into which a special
tool can be inserted. This tool, named KEYA01, allows:
––To memorize a complete instrument configuration and to
use it for other instruments.
––To transfer a complete instrument configuration to a PC or
from a PC to an instrument
––To transfer from a PC to an instrument a complete
instrument configuration
––To transfer a configuration from an KEYA01 to another one.
––To test serial interface of the instruments and to help the
