Before you begin the physical installation of the system, you must check that all environmental
factors are within the acceptable ranges, as shown in Table 2-1.
Table 2-1. Environmental Requirements
Specification Value
Environmental
Requirements-
Control Unit
■ Mount on a wall at least 2 feet (0.6 meters) from the floor (wall mounting
required)
■ Locate within 5 feet (1.5 meters) of the network interface jacks and a
properly grounded electrical outlet not controlled by a switch, using
supplied 7-foot (2.1-meter) cords
■ Operating temperature 32° to + 104°F (0° to + 40°C), not in direct sunlight
■ Humidity 15%-90%, noncondensing
■ For proper ventilation and easy replacement of modules, provide the
following minimum clearance around the control unit:
— 5-slot carrier: 1 foot (0.3 meter) clearance at the top and sides and 2
feet (0.6 meter) at the front and bottom
— 2-slot carrier or Stand-alone ACS processor module: 1 foot (0.3
meter) clearance at the front, top and right side, and 2 feet (0.6
meter) at the bottom and left side
■ Locate in an area free of excess moisture, corrosive gases, dust, and
chemicals
Electrical
Requirements-
Control Unit
■ U.S. and Canada: 90-264 VAC, 47-63 Hz, 3-prong outlet separate
ground, separately fused at 15 Amps
■ Other countries: 90-264 VAC (220 VAC fused at 10 Amps)
■ Grounding to comply with Underwriters Laboratories (UL) 1459:
a. An insulated grounding conductor that is not smaller in size and
equivalent in insulation material and thickness to the grounded
and ungrounded branch circuit supply conductors, except that it
is green with or without one or more yellow stripes, is to be
installed as part of the circuit that supplies the product or system
b. The grounding conductor mentioned in item A is to be connected
to ground at the service equipment
c. The attachment-plug receptacles in the vicinity of the product or
system are all to be of a grounding type, and the grounding
conductors serving these receptacles are to be connected to
earth ground at the service equipment
