Installation
As with any electric device, you should place the equipment where it will not be subjected to extreme
temperatures, humidity, or electromagnetic interference. Specifically, the site you select should meet
the following requirements:
1. The ambient temperature should be between 0 to 40 degrees Celsius.
2. The relative humidity should be less than 90 percent, non condensing.
3. Surrounding electrical devices should not exceed the electromagnetic field (RFC) standards
for IEC 801 3, Level 2 (3V/M) field strength.

4. Make sure that the equipment receives adequate ventilation. Do not block the ventilation holes
on each side of the switch or the fan exhaust port on the side or rear of the equipment.
