・Do not expose to water vapor, oil vapor, smoke, cotton dust, metal powder, sawdust.
※If installed outdoor, please put it in box which is suitable fo r outdoor use.
・The Product may malfunction or may be damaged by static electricity. Be sure to remove any static electricity on the body,
through such means as touching a metal object nearby, prior to coming into contact with the Product.
・
Store the Product in a location with the temperature ranging between -20 and +55°C, with the humidity ranging from 30 to 85% RH.
・The Product communicates wirelessly.
Install the Product as far away as possible from devices that emit strong radio waves, such as a civil band radio equipment.
・
The communication performance varies depending on the peripheral environment. Verify in advance that the Product is communicating
normally when installing the Data Collector on a wall.
