Throughout this chapter, please heed the following cautionary note:
Operating Environment Requirements
Keep the following in mind before installing the ACO-4500:
• Verify that the location of your installation has the proper operating environment. The ACO-4500 operates
correctly in ambient temperatures from 0°C to +40°C and relative humidity from 20% to 80%.
• The ACO-4500 requires 2”(50mm) of side clearance for counter top use. Also, ensure sufficient rear clearance,
e.g. 3”(75mm), so that cables are not compromised.
• The ACO-4500 does not currently have an internal fan to assist with ventilation or cooling. Therefore, when you
install the unit in an equipment bay, it is imperative that you ensure there is sufficient space all around the unit to
allow the airflow to vent away any excess heat generated by the unit.

carpeted areas and when synthetic fiber clothing is worn. Always exercise proper grounding
precautions when working on circuit boards and related equipment.
