Wall Mounting

If wall-mounted units are installed, the following items must be considered:
Do not install the unit in such a way that a hazardous stability condition results because of
uneven loading. A drop or fall could cause injury.
Make sure to install the EDS-MD in an environment with an ambient temperature less tha n the
maximum operating temperature of the EDS-MD. Therefore, conside ration shou ld b e given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specified by the manufacturer.
Install the equipment on a wall in such a way that the amount of airflow required for safe
operation of the equipment is not compromised.
Maintain reliable earthing of wall-mounted equipment. Give particular attention to supply
connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips) because of the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.
Before operating the EDS-MD, make sure the EDS-MD mounting is secured.

Port Connections

Only connect the network port to an Ethernet network that supports 10 Base-T/100 Base-TX/
1000 Base-T.
