Hardware Installation and Reference Guide
Preparation before Installation
Although much has been done in RG-PBOX to prevent static electricity, great damage may be caused to the circuitry
and equipment when the static electricity exceeds a certain limit. In the communication network of the RG-PBOX,
electrostatic induction may come from the following sources: External electric field produced by the high-voltage supply
cable, lightning, etc; internal systems such as the indoor floor and the entire structure.
To prevent damage from static electricity, you must pay attention to the following:
Properly ground the equipment.
Take dust prevention measures in the room.
Maintain an appropriate humidity.
Do not let any clothes touch a circuit board.
2.2 Installation Site Requirements
RG-PBOX must be used in the room. To ensure normal operation and a prolonged useful life of the equipment, the
installation site must meet the following requirements.
2.2.1 Ventilation Requirements
For airflow for proper ventilation, the RG-PBOX should be mounted in a place with sufficient space(10cm at least) for air
circulation.
2.2.2 Temperature and Humidity Requirements
To ensure the normal operation and a prolonged useful life of the RG-PBOX, you must maintain an appropriate
temperature and humidity in the equipment room. Too high or low temperature or humidity for a long period of time may
damage the equipment.
In an environment with high relative humidity, the insulating material may have bad insulation or even leak
electricity, and sometimes the materials may suffer from mechanical performance change and metallic parts may
get rusted.
On the other hand, in an environment with low relative humidity, the insulating strip may dry and shrink, and static
electricity may occur easily and endanger the circuit on the equipment.
In an environment with high temperature, the equipment is subjected to even greater harm, as its performance
may degrade significantly and its useful life may be shortened in the case of long-term exposure that expedites the
aging process.
Temperature and Humidity Requirements of the RG-PBOX:
Operating Temperature
Operating Humidity
-20ºC ~ 50ºC
10%-90% RH (non-condensing)
The ambient temperature is measured at the point that is 1.5m above the floor and 0.4m before the equipment
when there is no protective plate in front or back of the equipment rack.
