2.1 Site Requirements and Prerequisites

AC-powered RIC-E1 units should be installed within 1.5m (5 ft) of an

easily-accessible grounded AC outlet capable of furnishing the required supply

voltage, in the range of 100 to 240 VAC.

10 cm (4 in) clearance at the rear of the unit for interface cable connections.

The ambient operating temperature of RIC-E1 should be 0 to 50°C (32 to 122°F),

at a relative humidity of up to 90%, non-condensing.
