Environmental Conditions
The criteria on this page must be observed for the
installation of Endeleo Multi Format Video
Distribution system.

Format Video Distribution system in an area where
the ambient temperature exceeds 35ºC (95ºF) or
falls below 5ºC (35ºF).
Ventilation DO NOT obstruct the rear or side ventilation grilles
during operation as this will restrict the airflow and
may cause the main board to overheat.
The 16 port Endeleo Multi Format Video
Distribution Hub is fitted with two cooling fans.
These draw cool air through the right side
ventilation grille and expel warm air through the
grilles on the left side ventilation grilles.
Humidity and Water DO NOT install or operate the 16 port Endeleo
Multi Format Video Distribution hub in an area in
which the ambient relative humidity exceeds 85%
or an area that is prone to condensation.
DO NOT install or operate the 16 port Endeleo Multi
Format Video Distribution hub near water or in a
location which may be prone to water seepage –
The hub is not waterproof.
