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 allow 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 very dry
environments, static charges build up readily. Proper grounding of the equipment 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.

The product cannot be tilted from vertical. Mount as shown below.

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.
