Installation Site Features

A trained technician should carry out the installation of the master unit. Since the system is

designed for indoor installation, the master unit should be installed in a dry and suitable location

where:

• there is no risk of explosion;

• the environment is not classiﬁ ed as a high-risk one in case of ﬁ re;

• suspended particles are not to be found in great concentration;

• there is no risk of trafﬁ c which could cause

collision damages;

• the site is properly located with respect to the ergonomic positioning of the working

environments;

• the system is placed in a private room, protected against any possible violation;

• there is no direct sunlight or where water may drip on the device (for example under air-

conditioning equipment).

• the site must be accessible by maintenance personnel;

• the site must be dry, with low humidity;

• the site must guarantee proper space for cables and natural ventilation for the system;

• 2 meters must be kept between the rack and any heating opening.

The remote units should be mounted in reasonable locations as well:

• do not install remote units inside heating or conditioning areas;

• do not install remote units inside cable pipelines or ﬁ re-prevention sites (ﬁ re escapes, lift

tunnelss, emergency exits; which have to guarantee deﬁ ned safety standards);

• take into consideration that the temperature in the upper part of a room is higher than at

the 2 meter height. For false ceiling installation of case-A and case-B remote units, verify that

the environment temperatures do not exceed allowed limits;

• each remote unit requires its own power and a connection to the mains might be needed;
