Low relative humidity can dry and shrink insulation sheets and cause static electricity that
can damage the circuitry.
High temperatures greatly reduce device reliability and shorten service life.
2.2.3 Waterproofing
The Ethernet cable must be pressed into the silicone pad before being connected to the
Ethernet port on the device. Then, install the back cover to ensure effective waterproofing. (For
more details, see the following installation sections.)
Seal the unused ports using the connector plugs or cable glands to ensure that the access
point is watertight.
The cable glands must be used for all cables that are threaded through the ports to prevent
exposing the access point interior to environmental elements. See 3.4.2 Connecting the
Ethernet Cable for details.
2.2.4 EMI
Keep the AP as far away from the grounding equipment of the power device and the
lightning prevention equipment as possible.
Keep the AP away from radio stations, radar stations, high-frequency high-current devices,
and microwave ovens.
