Leave at least 10 cm (4 inches) of space at the front and rear of the Switch for ventilation. • Install the Switch in a fairly cool and dry place for the acceptable temperature and humidity operating ranges. • Install the Switch in a site free from strong electromagnetic field generators (such as motors), vibration, dust, and direct exposure to sunlight. • When installing the Switch on a level surface, attach the rubber feet to the bottom of the device.
