2 Preparing for Installation
2.1 Safety Precautions
The RG-EW3000GX PRO router plays a vital role in connecting networks, and its proper functioning is crucial
for ensuring the normal operation of all interconnected subnetworks.
The following safety precautions must be followed during installation and use:
Do not place the device in a damp or wet location, and keep the device away from any kind of liquid.
Install the device in a position far away from heat sources.
Wear an ESD wrist strap during installation and maintenance.
Do not wear loose clothing and tighten your belt, scarf, and sleeves to prevent clothing from getting caught
on the device and causing damage.
Keep tools and accessories away from walking areas to avoid damage.
You are advised to use an uninterruptible power source (UPS) to avoid power failures and disturbance.
2.2 Installation Environment Requirements
The RG-EW3000GX PRO router must be installed indoors to ensure its normal operation and prolonged service
life. The installation site must meet the following requirements.
Temperature and Humidity
Cleanliness
ESD Protection Requirements
Anti-interference
Checking the mounting workbench
2.2.1 Temperature and Humidity
Maintain an appropriate temperature and humidity at the installation site to ensure its normal operation and
prolonged service life. High humidity can lead to poor insulation and electrical performance issues such as
leakage. On the other hand, low humidity can cause shrinkage of insulation gaskets and looseness of fastening
screws, which can generate static electricity and pose a risk to internal circuits, especially in dry climate
environments. High temperatures can significantly impact the reliability and service life of the device by
accelerating the aging process of insulation materials. See the following table for temperature and humidity
requirements.
-10°C to 40°C (14°F to 104°F)
5% to 95% RH (non-condensing)
