tool, lock, key or other means of security and access is controlled by the authority responsible for the
location.

• Near an adequate power source. Connect the system to the appropriate branch circuit protection as
defined by your local electrical codes.
• Environmental temperature between 32° to 104°F (0° to 40°C).
• Relative humidity that does not exceed 85% non-condensing.
• In a dry, clean, well-ventilated and temperature-controlled room, away from heat sources such as hot air
vents or direct sunlight.
