Console Installation
Console Location
Install the console indoors in an area classied as non-
hazardous. Locate the console where personnel can 
easily make use of it; mount it at eye level for operator 
convenience. Mount the console level on a vertical surface 
between 2 feet (0.6 m) and 6 feet (1.9 m) high using the 
appropriate fasteners. 
Mounting the Console
Removing the cover
The cover must be removed by lifting with two hands. 
Press in on the cover release tabs on both ends to release 
the cover and lift it straight away from the unit (Figure 1).
When reinstalling the cover put it on straight so the LED 
light pipes are not damaged.   
Figure 1: Inside Cover
The Colibri console must be mounted in a location
where explosive or ammable vapors are not
present, otherwise an explosion hazard will be
created which can result in severe injury, death,
serious property damage and/or environmental
contamination.
Leave a minimum of two inches (5.1 cm) of space
around the console open to allow for ventilation,
communication port connections, conduit and
wiring.
Two mounting screw holes are located on the inside of the 
console. Use fasteners that have sufcient load carrying 
capacity and which are appropriate for wall construction. 
Make sure that there is enough room around the console 
for conduit coming into the unit, communication port 
connections, probe wiring, and console access.
