General Installation Guidelines
Observing the following precautions can prevent injuries, equipment failures, and
shutdowns.
Do not work alone if potentially hazardous conditions exist.
Look carefully for possible hazards in your work area, such as moist floors,
ungrounded power extension cables, frayed power cords, and missing safety
grounds.
WARNING: Never assume that the power supply is disconnected from a power
source. Always check first.
CAUTION: Room temperature might not be sufficient to keep equipment at
acceptable temperatures without an additional circulation system. Ensure that the
room in which you operate the IDP sensor has adequate air circulation.
NOTE: Although you can place the IDP sensor on a desktop for operation, we do
not recommend deploying it in this manner.
CAUTION: To prevent abuse and intrusion by unauthorized personnel, it is
extremely important to install the IDP sensor in a locked-room environment.
