Installation Instructions
Step 1: Prepare for Installation
IMPORTANT!
Perform the following steps BEFORE installation of the monitor into the panel�
1� Ensure that sufcient power is available�
2� Ensure that sufcient space is available to allow for proper air ow into and out of the
unit�
3� Ensure that the air temperature around the unit (top and bottom) will not exceed the
rated specications of the unit.
fThe maximum rated temperature for the HIS-ML19 is 50°C (122°F)�
fRemember that heat rises – the temperature at the top of the
cabinet will be much hotter than at the bottom if air inside the
enclosure is not actively circulating� Even in a sealed enclosure,
use of a circulation fan can greatly reduce temperature�
fAlso, remember that even though this product is designed to
operate at 50°C, the life span of any electronic device is shortened
when it is consistently operated at high temperatures� Therefore,
it is wise to take steps to keep the temperature of the ambient air
around the unit as low as possible�
4� Ensure that the ambient humidity of the air around the unit does not exceed the
specications of the unit.
fThe maximum rated humidity for the HIS-ML19 is 90%
non-condensing�
