Installation

Installa tion environment

When installing your product, consider these factors:

• Ventilation

• Temperature

• Moisture

• Chassis load Ventilation: Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the

manufacturer’s instructions. Ensure that the location planned for the installation of the unit is well ventilated.

Temperature: Consider the TVR 10’s operating temperature (14 to 122°F, −10 to 50°C) and noncondensing humidity specifications (10 to 90%) before choosing an installation location. Extremes of heat or cold beyond the specified operating temperature limits may reduce the life expectancy of the TVR 10. Do not install the TVR 10 on top of other hot equipment. Leave 1.75 in. (44 mm) of space between rack mounted TVR 10 units.

Moisture: Do not use the unit near water. Moisture can damage the internal components. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this unit to rain or moisture.

Chassis: Equipment weighing less than 35 lb. (15.9 kg) may be placed on top of the TVR 10.
