WARNINGS
Water damage
MACE recommends that the HydroMACE XCi device be mounted above known flood peak levels. MACE will
not be liable for damage caused by flooding. (The unit is weatherproof, but NOT waterproof and should NOT
be submerged).
Sunlight
MACE recommends that the HydroMACE XCi device be mounted so that the LCD faces in a direction away
from direct sunlight (ie South in the Southern Hemisphere and North in the Northern Hemisphere).
Cable damage
MACE recommends that all cables be appropriately routed through electrical conduit or other similar
mechanism. MACE will not be liable for damage to cables, especially if it is caused by vehicles, digging
implements, animals or debris in the pipe or channel.
Insects and moisture
After the HydroMACE XCi device has been installed and fully tested, MACE recommends the use of
expanding “space filler” foam down the first 5 to 10cm (2 to 4 “) of the conduit or mounting pole to prevent
insect/moisture ingress. Alternatively, where available, a non-curing sealing compound such as "Duct-Seal"
may be used.
Battery life
Care must be taken when a mains power supply is used to charge the internal battery instead of a solar panel.
If the mains power remains disconnected for an extended period of time, the internal battery may be
permanently damaged.
Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)
This is a Class A product. In a domestic environment this product may cause radio interference in which case
the user may be required to take adequate measures.
Intrinsic Safety
The HydroMACE XCi device is NOT an intrinsically safe instrument and should not be installed in hazardous
(explosive) environments.
