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.
