Overview
There are several requirements that should be properly addressed prior to installation. The
following specifications are requirements for proper installation and operation of ioibox units:
•
Ambient Environment Conditions:
Keep the ioibox unit in a clean and dry indoor
environment. Operating temperature should be maintained within 0°c to 50°c.
Operating humidity 5% to 95% (non-condensing). The ioibox unit should be kept
indoors or in a shielded enclosure dry and free from water condensation. To prevent
overheating, avoid positioning the ioibox unit near heaters or heating system outputs
and avoid exposure to direct sunlight. Keep the ioibox unit free from dust, dirt, smoke,
and exposure to EMI.
•
Accessibility:
The location should allow easy access to unit connections and cables.
Leave at least 33 cm (1 foot) behind the unit to allow for easy cable access.
•
Safety:
Cables and electrical cords should be routed in a manner that prevents safety
hazards, such as from tripping, wire fraying, overheating, etc. Assure that nothing
rests on the ioibox cables or power cords
.
All cables connected to the TRK unit shall
be indoor connections that require being shielded from outdoor cable connections.
•
Ample Air Circulation:
Leave enough space around the ioibox unit to allow free air
circulation.
•
Proximal Location:
ioiboxes should be placed in locations that are optimal for the
type of video cabling used between the unit and the cameras and external devices.
Using a cable longer than the manufacturer’s specifications for optimal video signal
may result in degradation of color and video parameters.
•
Physical Security
ioiboxes provide threat detection for physical security systems. In order to ensure
ioiboxes cannot be disabled or tampered with, the systems should be installed with
security measures regarding physical access by trusted and un-trusted parties.
•
Network Security
ioibox units transmit over IP to security personnel for video surveillance. Proper
network security measures should be in place to assure networks remain operating
and free from malicious interference. ioibox units are intended for installation on the
backbone of a trusted network.
•
Electrostatic Safeguards
ioibox units as well as other equipment connected to it (relay outputs, alarm inputs,
racks, carpeting, etc) shall be properly grounded to prevent electrostatic discharge.
