Installation Considerations 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 to supply a fan, heat exchanger,
or air conditioner to meet this condition.
•
The humidity of the ambient air must not exceed specified
limits. In very 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.
Tools Required These tools are required for product installation.
•
Panel cutout tools
•
#2 Phillips screwdriver
Mount the Workstation in a
Panel You can install the 1200W and 1500W models of the workstation in a
panel by using mounting clips. The non-display version can be
installed in a panel by using the four screw holes on the front plate.
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.
