Installation Guidelines
As with any electronic device, you should place the
equipment where it will not be subjected to extreme
temperatures or humidity, vibration, dust, direct
sunlight, or electromagnetic interference. Specifically,
the site you select should meet the following
requirements:
A. Install the DGS-1008MP in a cool and dry place.
The ambient temperature should be between
0 and 40 degrees Celsius (32 to 104 degrees
Fahrenheit). The relative humidity should be less
than 90 percent, non-condensing.
B. Install the switch in a site free from a strong
electromagnetic source. Surrounding electrical
devices should not exceed the electromagnetic
field (RFC) standards for IEC 801-3, Level 2 (3
V/M) field strength.
C. Make sure that the equipment receives adequate
ventilation. Leave at least 10 cm of space at
the left and right-hand side of the switch for
ventilation. Do not block the ventilation holes on
either side of the switch.
D. The power outlet should be within 1.2 meters of
the device.
