INSTALLING THE SWITCH

Selecting a Site

Be sure to follow the site selection guidelines below when choosing a location:

•Select a suitable location for the switch:

•It should be accessible for installing, cabling and maintaining the switch.

•The temperature and humidity should be within the ranges listed in the specifications.

•The status LEDs should be clearly visible.

•There should be adequate space (approximately two inches) on all sides for proper air flow.

•Make sure twisted-pair cable is always routed away from power lines, fluorescent lighting fixtures and other sources of electrical interference such as radios, transmitters, etc.

•Make sure that a properly grounded power outlet is within 8 feet (2.44 meters) of the switch and is powered from an independent circuit breaker. As with any equipment, using a filter or surge suppressor is recommended.
