Preparing for installation
ESD prevention
To prevent electronic components from electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage, wear an ESD wrist
strap and make sure it makes good skin contact and is reliably grounded before you touch any
switch module.

Examining the installation site
The switch must be used indoors. To make sure the switch operates correctly and to prolong its
service lifetime, the installation site must meet the load-bearing, temperature, humidity, cleanliness,
EMI, grounding, power supply, ventilation, and space requirements. Reserve a minimum of 1.2 m
(3.94 ft) of clearance between the switch and walls or other devices. For more information, see
