Installation Guidelines
Follow these guidelines to make sure your product provides safe and reliable
service.
•
The installation site must have sufficient power.
•
The enclosure must have sufficient space around air inlets and outlets to
provide the circulation necessary for cooling. Never allow air passages to
become obstructed.
•
The ambient air temperature must not exceed the maximum operating
temperature. Consider heat produced by other devices in the enclosure. You
may need a user-supplied fan, heat exchanger, or air conditioner to meet
this condition.
•
The humidity of the ambient air must not exceed specified limits.
•
In dry environments, static charges build up readily. Proper grounding of the
equipment through the AC power cord helps to reduce static discharges,
which may cause shocks and damage electronic components.
•
The enclosure or cover must remain in place at all times during operation.
The cover provides protection against high voltages inside the product and
inhibits radio-frequency emissions that might interfere with other equipment.
ATTENTION To maintain an electrically safe installation, the product must be connected to
earth ground when installed. Follow the appropriate grounding requirements
associated with your specific product type as described in this installation
document.
TIP
Hot air rises. The temperature at the top of the enclosure is often higher than
the temperature in other parts of the enclosure, especially if air is not
circulating.
IMPORTANT
The product can operate at a range of extremes. However, the life span of any
electronic device is shortened if you continuously operate the product at its
highest rated temperature.
