Chapter 2 Installation Preparation
To avoid possible bodily injury and equipment damage, read all safety recommendations carefully before
installation. Note that the recommendations do not cover every possible hazardous condition
2.1 General Safety Recommendations
Power off your switch before move it.
Place the switch to the dry and ventilation place. Any liquid do not enter into the switch.
Keep the switch clean.
Clear accumulations on the switch.
Only trained and qualified personnel are allowed to install or service the device.
2.2 Examining the Installation Site
The switches must be used indoors. To ensure normal operation and long service life of your switch, the
installation site must meet the requirements in this section.
Ensure that there is enough space for heat dissipation around the switch.
Ensure that the equipment cabinet and work bench has good ventilation and heat dissipation system.
Ensure that the equipment cabinet and work bench fastness enough, which can support device and
installation accessory
Ensure that the equipment cabinet and work bench well connected ground.
To ensure your switch normally work and the working life extended, installation site should meet
following requirement.
2.2.1
Temperature and Humidity Requirement
The equipment room must maintain adequate temperature and humidity so that it can ensure the device
working normally and extend service life. Long-lasting high humidity is prone to cause bad insulation
and even electricity creepage. Sometimes the mechanical performance changes of materials, the rustiness
and corrosion of some metal parts are also likely to occur. If the relative humidity is too low, the captive
screws can become loose due to insulation washer contraction. Meanwhile, the static is likely produced
in the dry environments, jeopardizing the CMOS circuit of the product. The higher the temperature is, the
greater the damage to your device. Long-lasting high temperature can speed up the aging of the insulation
materials, greatly lower the device reliability, and hence significantly shorten its service life.
