● The switch is near to an adequate power source. Connect the switch to the appropriate branch circuit protection according
to your local electrical codes.
● The environmental—switch location—continuous temperature range is from 0°C to 45°C (32°F to 113°F).
● The operating humidity is from 5 to 90 percent noncondensing, continuous.
● Install in a dry, clean, well-ventilated, and temperature-controlled room, away from heat sources such as hot cooling vents or
direct sunlight.
● Position away from sources of severe electromagnetic noise.
● Position in a rack or cabinet, or on a desktop with adequate space in the front, back, and sides for proper ventilation and
access
