Mounting
Location Considerations
Follow these guidelines when mounting an NIE:
•
Ensure that the mounting surface can support the NIE and any user-supplied panel or enclosure.
•
Mount the NIE in a horizontal, upright orientation.
•
Mount the NIE on an even surface in wall mount applications whenever possible. If you must mount the NIE on
an uneven surface, be careful not to crack the mounting clips or NIE housing when tightening the screws. Use
shims or washers to mount the NIE evenly on the mounting surface.
•
Mount the NIE in areas free of corrosive vapors, and observe the environmental limitations listed in the
section.
•
Allow sufficient space to accommodate cable and wire connections (
).
•
Do not mount the NIE where the ambient temperature may exceed 50°C (122°F).
•
Do not mount the NIE on surfaces that are prone to vibration or in areas where electromagnetic or radio frequency
emissions can interfere with NIE communication.
•
Do not obstruct the NIE housing ventilation holes.
•
Do not mount a power transformer below the NIE.
On applications where the NIE is mounted inside a panel or enclosure, follow these additional guidelines:
•
Do not install the NIE in an airtight enclosure.
•
Do not install heat-generating devices in the enclosure with the NIE that may cause the ambient temperature to
exceed 50°C (122°F).
