• in direct sunlight,
• behind curtains,
• in small, unventilated rooms,

In addition, please ensure that
• the room is dry and as free of dust as possible,
• no high-frequency equipment (e.g. transmitters, radiation-emitting devices or simi-
lar units) is nearby,
• no fluid can drop onto the Eumex 704PC LAN and possibly penetrate inside the
device through the ventilation slits,
•in the case of wall mounting, the wall is flat and capable of bearing the load.
The following criteria should be taken into account when selecting a mounting loca-
tion:
