Important notes
Before setting up the SPR532, please examine whether the housing and the seal on the lower surface are intact
(see also Chapter 5.2.3). The hardware is developed in such a way that when opening the housing, the internal
mounting plates break off and the seal is destroyed. Thus any kind of tampering can easily be recognized. In case
of suspicion of tampering please refer to your dealer and/or to your local SCM Microsystems branch.
