Figure 7 – Tamper Evident Labels Applied to Rear Panel

The tamper-evident seals are produced from a special thin gauge white vinyl with self-adhesive
backing. Any attempt to open the switch will damage or destroy the tamper-evident seals, or
the painted surface and metal of the module cover. Since the tamper-evident labels have non-
repeated serial numbers, the labels may be inspected for damage and compared against the
applied serial numbers to verify that the module has not been tampered with. An intact label is
shown in Figure 8, with a visible serial number and no breaks.
