Installation

Siting the OfficeConnect Remote

When siting the OfficeConnect Remote, ensure:

It is accessible and cables can be easily connected.

It is out of direct sunlight and away from sources of heat.

Cabling is away from:

Sources of electrical noise, such as radios, transmitters and broadband amplifiers.

Power lines and fluorescent lighting fixtures.

Water or moisture cannot enter the case of the unit.

Air flow around the unit and through the vents in the side of the case is not restricted. We recommend that you provide a minimum of 25mm (approx. 1 inch) clearance around the unit.

To prolong the operational life of your equipment:

Never stack OfficeConnect units more than four high and ensure that they are clipped securely together.

Do not place objects on top of any unit or stack.

Using the Rubber Feet and Stacking Clips

The four self-adhesive rubber feet prevent your hub from sliding around on your desk. Stick the feet to the marked areas at each corner of the underside of your hub.

The four stacking clips are used for neatly and securely stacking your OfficeConnect units together. You can stack up to a maximum of four units. Large units must be stacked below small units. To stack your units, secure the clips on one side and then on the other. Use the following method to secure one side:

1Place your new unit on a flat surface. Your clips fit in the positions on the side of the unit, as shown in Figure 1-3(1).

2Position a clip over one of these holes and push it in until it clicks into place, as shown in Figure 1-3(2). Repeat this for the other clip position on the same side.

3Keeping the front of the units aligned, rest the bottom of the new unit on the clips’ spikes, as shown in Figure 1-3(3). Push the clips firmly into the new unit until they click into place.
