General Installation Guidelines
Be sure to follow the guidelines below when choosing a location.
◆ The installation location should:
■
be able to maintain its temperature within 0 to 40 °C (32 to 104 °F) and its
humidity within 5% to 95%, non-condensing.
■
provide adequate space (approximately five centimeters or two inches) on
all sides for proper air flow.
■
be accessible for installing, cabling and maintaining the device.
■
allow the status LEDs to be clearly visible.
◆ Make sure twisted-pair cable is always routed away from power lines,
fluorescent lighting fixtures and other sources of electrical interference, such as
radios and transmitters.
◆ Make sure that the unit is connected to a separate grounded power outlet and
is powered from an independent circuit breaker. As with any equipment, using
a filter or surge suppressor is recommended.
