Installation
Read and adhere to all safety warnings in this manual before installing the
Informer-PA.
To prevent injury, this apparatus must be securely attached to the wall per the
installation instructions.
SHOCK HAZARD: Electrocution or severe personal injury can occur when making
electrical connections, drilling holes, or lifting equipment. Therefore, experienced
electricians, per national and local electrical codes, acting under the direction of
the installation crew safety foreman, should perform the installation.
Determine a Suitable Location
When choosing a location for the Informer-PA, consider the following criteria:
• Place as far as possible from electrically noisy electronic devices to avoid
interference. Examples of noisy devices may include microwave ovens, motor-driven
devices, light ballasts, and electrical switching devices.
• Requires a connection to a wired Ethernet network. Ethernet wire runs must be less
than 328 feet (100 meters) from the nearest network switch.
• Rack or wall mounting is recommended after you have found a suitable location.
• Place within 6 feet (1.8 meters) of an AC power receptacle to eliminate the need for an
extension cord unless a Power over Ethernet (PoE) connection is available.
Rack Mounting
The Informer-PA is designed for a 19-inch rack mount. Attach the bracket to the
Informer-PA with supplied screws.
