Static Discharge
Throughout this chapter, please heed the following cautionary note:
Mounting and Installation
The module can be mounted in any convenient location. However, to ensure long life for this product, observe the
following precautions and operating requirements:
• Maintain an ambient temperature of 20° to 40°C (68°F – 104°F).
• Allow for air circulation around the chassis for convectional cooling.
Many different mounting positions are possible with the included mounting hardware. Some installation options are
permanent and require careful consideration of the final positioning before installation.
In some mounting locations, the power adapter must be affixed in a similar manner as the chassis.
Other possible options include the use of adhesive magnetic sheets (not included) affixed to the chassis and the
power adapter, for removable mounting on metal cabinets etc.
Cable ties may be necessary in some applications to relieve strain on the mounting hardware and the connectors.
Surface Mount Strips
The included VELCRO® brand surface mount strips allow the GearLite module and power supply to be affixed to
a permanent location during use and easily removed for adjustments. Carefully consider the installation location
before proceeding; the adhesive is very aggressive and is not easily removed. The adhesive will cure fully in 24
hours.
To install the Surface Mount Strips
1. Remove the
Protective Backing Film
from the adhesive on the bottom of the two VELCRO® brand
Surface
Mount Strips
.
A third VELCRO® brand
Surface Mount Strip
is available to mount the power adapter.
2. Adhere the

to the bottom side of the chassis
ESD Susceptibility
— Static discharge can cause serious damage to sensitive semiconductor
devices. Avoid handling circuit boards in high static environments such as carpeted areas and when
synthetic fiber clothing is worn. Always exercise proper grounding precautions when working on circuit
boards and related equipment.
