FEC AFC1500 - Manual (Page 10)

Installation Requirements
Installation Environment
Do not use at the following locations: (If these conditions cannot be achieved,
contact FEC INC.)
§ Areas under direct sunlight.
§ Areas where the environmental temperature is out of the 32°F-122°F (0º to
50 ºC) range.
§ Areas where the relative humidity is out of the 20-90% range.
§ Areas where the temperature changes quickly, which may cause moisture.
§ Areas where conductive powder, oil mist, saline, or organic solvents exist.
§ Areas that have corrosive or combustible gases.
§ Areas that have strong electric or magnetic fields.
§ Areas where a strong vibration or shock could be transmitted directly to
the Unit.
§ Multi Units must be located a minimum of 600 mm from sources of high
transient voltage such as transformers, AC inverters, AC contactors and
motor starters. If this cannot be avoided, then the unit must be properly
shielded.
Static Electricity
The Multi Unit construction incorporates many electronic Surface Mounted
Devices (SMD). Use standard grounding & safety practices to avoid possible
electrostatic discharge to the unit.
Cleaning
Do not use any organic solvents, such as thinner, to clean a Multi Unit. The
solvent could penetrate inside and damage the circuitry. A cloth dampened
with alcohol or warm water should be used to lightly wipe the components.
Handling and Shipping
It is critical that the Multi Unit be properly handled and shipped in order to
maintain its integrity. If unit is to be shipped in an enclosure, tighten both
mounting screws to prevent unit from becoming dislodged. If unit is to be
shipped loose, pack it in an anti-static container or wrap it to prevent damage
from electrostatic discharge. Pack & ship to avoid damage from dropping /
shock.
Avoid shipping conditions or storage areas were the room temperature is out
the -5 º to 55 ºC (23 º to 131ºF) range and the humidity is above 90%.
