Mounting
Location Considerations
Follow these guidelines when mounting an NIE:
•
Ensure that the mounting surface can support the NIE and any user-supplied enclosure.
•
Mount the NIE in proper orientation
•
Mount the NIE on an even surface in wall mount applications whenever possible. If you must mount the NIE on
an uneven surface, be careful not to crack the mounting clips or NIE housing when tightening the screws. Use
shims or washers to mount the NIE evenly on the mounting surface.
•
Mount the NIE in areas free of corrosive vapors, and observe the environmental limitations listed in the
Specifications
section.
•
Allow sufficient space for cable and wire connections and access to the data protection battery and End-of-Line
(EOL) switch
(Figure
•
Do not mount the NIE where the ambient temperature may exceed 50°C (122°F).
•
Do not mount the NIE on surfaces prone to vibration or in areas where electromagnetic emissions can interfere
with NIE communication.
•
Do not obstruct the NIE housing ventilation holes.
•
Do not mount power transformers below the NIE.
