INSTALLATION AND SETUP

When deciding where to install the switch, ensure that:

•The switch is accessible and cables can be connected easily.

•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. You should provide a minimum of 25mm (1-inch) clearance.

•No objects are placed on top of the unit.

•Units are not stacked more than four high if the switch is free-standing.
