Precautions:
1. Logs are held in Commander’s volatile memory. Any loss of power will erase all log data.
2. As Commander is a computer device, it is strongly suggested that it be powered from devices
which offer EMI and RFI protection and power back up,
3. Do not operate Commander beyond its specified temperature, humidity, or power source
ratings. When installing Commander make certain that the following environmental conditions
are maintained:
Temperature: (-40C to + 75C-Industrial Versions) (0C to +70C – Commercial Versions)
Humidity 0% to 95% non Condensing
Power: 100 to 240 VAC @ 50 to 60 Hz
4. Battery Back up:
The back up battery maintains the clock and programming features. The built in battery life is
approximately 2 years and can vary due to operations under external environmental conditions.
5. Cooling Fan
Commander uses a cooling fan in order to protect itself against damage from high temperature
conditions. The fan should be checked and clean periodically. Make certain the power is off to the
unit when cleaning the fan and that the Event Log has been transferred out of Commander to
prevent information loss.
6. To properly operate Commander, place it on a horizontally surface. When stacking units or
rack mounting multiple units leave at least a space of 1RU (1 7/8 inches) between each unit.
7. Commander allows operators with Admin (Administrator) level permission to download its
programming and upload programming in the event Commander programming is lost. It is
recommended that after programming is complete, it be downloaded and kept in a safe place.
8. For proper viewing of Web screens monitor resolutions of 1024 X 768 are required.
