Section 5.  Overview 
 
 
•  Set AES-128 PakBus encryption key 
•  Set .csipasswd file for securing HTTP and web API 
•  Track signatures 
•  Encrypt program files if they contain sensitive information 
•  Hide program files for extra protection 
•  Secure the physical CR800 and power supply under lock and key 
Note All security features can be subverted through physical access to 
the CR800. If absolute security is a requirement, the physical CR800 must 
be kept in a secure location.

With reasonable care, the CR800 should give many years of reliable service. 
 
5.9.1  Protection from Moisture — Overview

Protection from Moisture — Details (p. 102) 
Protection from Moisture — Products (p. 580) 
The CR800 and most of its peripherals must be protected from moisture. Moisture 
in the electronics will seriously damage, and probably render un-repairable, the 
CR800. Water can come in liquid form from flooding or sprinkler irrigation, but 
most often it comes as condensation. In most cases, protection from water is 
easily accomplished by placing the CR800 in a weather-tight enclosure with 
desiccant and by elevating the enclosure above the ground. The CR800 is shipped 
with internal desiccant packs to reduce humidity. Desiccant in enclosures should 
be changed periodically. 
Note    Do not completely seal the enclosure if lead acid batteries are 
present; hydrogen gas generated by the batteries may build up to an 
explosive concentration. 
 
5.9.2  Protection from Voltage Transients — Overview 
The CR800 must be grounded to minimize the risk of damage by voltage 
transients associated with power surges and lightning-induced transients. Earth 
grounding is required to form a complete circuit for voltage clamping devices 
internal to the CR800.
