OUNTING
The installation site for the module should be chosen with several considerations in
mind:

The mounting surface must be non-flammable, as the unit will generate high
surface temperatures during typical operation.

The unit requires a minimum clearance of two (2) inches in all directions around it
when mounted near a non-heat source. When mounting near a second M3575R

between the two.
Once the installation site has been selected as outlined above, the unit should be
mounted in place. The M3575R must be properly oriented for proper air flow through
