Indoor and Outdoor Installation Considerations 4.1
The following sections provide insight and key information that should be considered when
installing the cabling for the IOI-XTRK-10D:
Indoor Installation
Outdoor Installation
Caution:
To avoid damage from overheating or unit failure, ensure that there is sufficient
temperature regulation to support the unit’s requirements (cooling/heating).
Operating temperature should be kept in the range 0° to 50°C (32° to 122°F), with
no more than 95% non-condensing humidity.
4.1.1 Indoor Installation
Following are additional consideration for an indoor installation.
There must be a fuse or circuit breaker at the starting point of the electrical wiring
infrastructure.
For indoor installations, such as industrial installations, the unit must be protected
from elements such as damaging fumes, metallic dust, extreme temperatures, soot,
moisture, overspray, etc.
The unit should not be placed near or on radiators and heat sources.
4.1.2 Outdoor Installation
Following are additional consideration for an outdoor installation.
For any outside wiring installation, always use weatherproof equipment, such as
boxes, receptacles, connectors, etc.
For electrical wiring, use properly rated sheathed cables for conditions which the
cable will be exposed to (e.g. moisture, heat, UV, physical requirements, etc.).
The unit must be protected from weather conditions. Units should be installed
within secure weatherproof casings, such as camera shrouds, housings, etc.
Plan ahead to determine where to install weatherproof outlet boxes and unit
storage. Whenever possible, ground weatherproof boxes to an outdoor ground.
Outdoor boxes should provide some form of a security locking mechanism.
Look for an enclosure/casing suited for protecting the unit as needed for your
installation environment. We recommended that a rating of IP65/NEMA 4 or
greater be used. The following table provides National Electrical Manufacturers
Association (NEMA) and Institute of Petroleum ratings. These are US and European
ratings that indicate an enclosures ability to withstand certain environmental
conditions:
