Always observe standard safety precautions during installation, operation, and maintenance of this product.

Warning

2.2Site Requirements and Prerequisites

AC-powered RIC-155 units should be installed within 1.5m (5 ft) of an easily-accessible grounded AC outlet capable of furnishing the voltage in accordance with RIC-155 nominal supply voltage.

DC-powered RIC-155 unit requires a -48 VDC or 24 VDC power source, which must be adequately isolated from the main supply.

Allow at least 90 cm (36 in) of frontal clearance for operating and maintenance accessibility. Allow at least 10 cm (4 in) clearance at the rear of the unit for signal lines and interface cables.

The ambient operating temperature of RIC-155 should be 0 to 50°C (32 to 122°F), at a relative of up to 90%, non-condensing. humidity
