Installation site examination
Before installation, examine the installation site to ensure that the AP is in a good operational
environment. Examine the installation site from the following two aspects: installation site
selection and temperature and humidity requirements. For details about temperature and
humidity requirements, see ―Temperature and humidity requirements.‖
Avoid locations that are susceptible to high temperature, dust, flame, explosives,
electromagnetic interference (high power radar, radio station, and transformer), unstable
voltage, heavy vibration, or loud noise. The installation site should be dry, without any leakage,
dripping, or dew. The AP should be at least 500 m (0.31 mi) away from a shore and should not
face the direction of onshore wind.
