3 Installation Site Preparation Before installing the switch or switches, make sure that the chosen installation location meets the following site requirements: • Clearance — There is adequate front and rear clearance for operator access. Allow clearance for cabling, power connections, and ventilation. • Cabling — The cabling is routed to avoid sources of electrical noise, such as radio transmitters, broadcast amplifiers, power lines, and fluorescent lighting fixtures.
