Important Safety Instructions
This device has undergone various tests in order to comply with safety standards.
Inappropriate use may be dangerous. Please follow the instructions in this guide to
ensure your safety during the installation and operation of the device. For safety and
proper operation, keep in mind the following factors:
•It is important that your IVS SDA be properly ventilated. Do not fully enclose the IVS
SDA in any type of recess, cabinet, kiosk, hole, nook, or enclosure unless there are
fans or a passive thermal exhaust that can constantly bring in new air to replace the
trapped air in the space around the outside of the device.
•Place the IVS SDA in a location free from dust and other particles.
•Ambient temperature should be between 32 °F to 104 °F (0 °C to +40 °C) in a non-
condensing environment.
With the above factors in mind, please be aware of the following section from your
hardware maintenance contract:
In the event that Hardware Maintenance is required due to: (i) abuse or mishandling
of the Hardware by Customer, or (ii) any environmental conditions where the
Hardware is located (dust, moisture, etc.), or (iii) any other technical issues (electrical
“spikes” or the like), or (iv) any other external factors outside the normal operating
conditions for the Hardware; then the charges for Maintenance associated therewith
shall be paid by Customer.
