GENERAL MOUNTING GUIDELINES
It is important that you follow these general precautions when installing,
setting up, operating, maintaining, troubleshooting, or replacing any
Datalogic products, parts or related equipment.
As you plan and install your WebSentinel PLUS Server, be sure to keep the
following guidelines in mind:
 Determine the proper orientation and position the server. Mount
the server so connectors are accessible.
 Leave adequate clearances (approximately 300 mm [12 inches])
for wiring around the server for cabling.

Route wires carefully to reduce or minimize electrical noise.
When power and communication wiring must cross, make their
intersection perpendicular.

Proper grounding limits the effects of noise due to Electro-
magnetic Interference (EMI). Make sure the mounting structure
and power access is properly grounded.
