• The AADvance system must not be on a network with open unsecured
access to the Internet.
• The Firewall must be active on the computer, helping prevent access to
the relevant Ethernet ports on each communication interface. Anti-
virus software must be installed and be kept up-to-date.
• The computer must be password-protected. If using a laptop, keep the
laptop locked when not in use.
• If the software uses a hardware license USB dongle, keep the USB
dongle secure. The software will not run without the USB dongle.
• The application must be password-protected.
• Removable media, such as USB storage devices and CDs, must be virus
checked before use in the system.

assemblies.
Use conductor wire with a cross section of 16 AWG. The stripping length
should be 6mm (1/4 in.) and a conductor temperature rating of 85 ºC. Apply a
tightening torque of 0.5 Nm (0.37 ft. lb.) to the terminal screws.
