Installation
This chapter gives step-by-step installation instructions for
the Converter.
Selecting a Site for the Equipment
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 th e f oll owi ng requirements:
The ambient temperature should be between -5 to 55 degrees Ce lsius
(-23 and 131 degrees Fahrenheit).
The relative humidity should be less than 95 percent, non-condensing.
Surrounding electrical devices should not exceed the electromagnetic
field (RFC) standards for IEC 801-3, Level 2 (3V/M) field strength.
Make sure that the equipment receives adequate ventilation. Do not
block the ventilation holes on each side of the equipment.
The power outlet should be within 1.8 meters of the product.
