The WCCIII-MCD2 must be kept in a clean and dry area in the 
building. The ambient temperature must be between 50 and 100 
°F, and the relative humidity must be kept between 0 and 90% 
(non-condensing). 
The WCCIII-MCD2 is primarily designed to mount on a wall.
The WCCIII-MCD2 computer requires 115 VAC power and must 
remain powered at all times for proper operation and control. The 
115 VAC power circuit must be separate and dedicated exclusively 
to the WCCIII-MCD2 computer. An APCTM brand UPS with an
