Site Preparation

Before installing the switch or switches, make sure that the chosen installation location meets the following site requirements:

•Clearance — There is adequate front and rear clearance for operator access. Allow clearance for cabling, power connections, and ventilation.

•Cabling — The cabling is routed to avoid sources of electrical noise such as radio transmitters, broadcast amplifiers, power lines, and fluorescent lighting fixtures.

•Ambient Temperature — The ambient switch operating temperature range is 10° to 35ºC (50° to 95ºF).

NOTE: Decrease the maximum temperature by 1°C (1.8°F) per 300 m (985 ft.) above 900 m (2955 ft.).

•Relative Humidity — The operating relative humidity is 8% to 85% (non-condensing) with a maximum humidity gradation of 10% per hour.
