Installation
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).
1. Decrease the maximum temperature by 1°C (1.8°F) per 300 m (985 ft.) above 900 m (2955 ft.).
2. Relative Humidity — The operating relative humidity is 8 percent to 85 percent (non‑condensing)
with a maximum humidity gradation of 10 percent per hour.
