This chapter contains recommendations for mechanical installation of the CrossFire IX device. 3.1. Mounting CrossFire IX is designed with a three pod mounting footprint that allows for flexible mounting. However, fastening the unit to an uneven surface may stress the enclosure, or possibly even flex the circuit board inside, leading to a premature failure.
1 .4 Maintenance and care as soon as possible. Crossfire IX product C000141-70 and C000141-40 that includes a Wi-Fi module should be installed and operated with minimum distance of 20cm to your body to comply with radiation exposure limits for an uncontrolled environment.
This chapter contains details and recommendations for electrical installation of the CrossFire IX device. 4.1. Connectors The connector is accessible from the side of the CrossFire IX unit. The connector, an AMP 35-pin multi-pin connector, is marked 1(X1). X1 connector black, TE connectivity 1 -776163-1 (Mating connector, e.g. 776164-1)
