Planning the installation site
Determine an appropriate location to mount the unit. Use the following guidelines to select the
installation site.
CAUTION:
To ensure adequate ventilation when installed on an electrical box or wall, the

of clearance from all vents.
Be sure to install the unit in an area that is well ventilated and maintains an ambient temperature
of less than 40°C (104°F). If the installation area has any obstructions to air flow, you must take
steps to ensure adequate airflow is maintained. Do not install in enclosed spaces, at ground level,
or close to or directly above any heat sources or heat-emitting devices, such as:
•
Radiators
•
Portable room heaters
•
The back of refrigerators or compressors
•
Direct sunlight
•
Transformers
•
Power pack units of halogen or similar lighting fixtures or appliances
CAUTION:
To avoid signal interference, do not install the HP 517 near or behind known RF
absorbers, reflectors, and interference sources. Examples of sources that degrade RF performance
include:
