If installation angle exceeds 30°from horizontal, the unit might not give its optimum performance.

Avoid installing the unit where it would be subject to high temperature, such as from direct sunlight, or from hot air, from heater, or where it would be subject to dust dirt or excessive vibration. Be sure to remove the front panel before installing the unit.
