_
Whilst DAVE will operate
normally on top of a rack or side
table, it is recommended that the
device is allowed to
‘breathe’.
Allocating 10cm of space around
the device to convection-cool
during operation is advised.
As the infra-red remote
control requires a direct
line of sight to the
viewing portal, avoid placing
objects on top of DAVE or
putting it within enclosures.
