INSTALLATION GUIDE
This section is to explain the cautions the users must know in some case that possibly injure
may bring to users when it’s used or installed. For this reason, please read all details here and
make in mind before installing or using the product.
2.1 GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
➢Must be operated and maintained free of dust or dirty.
➢The cover should be securely fastened, do not open the cover of the products
when the power is on.
➢After use, securely stow away all loose cables, external antenna, and others.

P a g e | 8
2.2 POWER PRECAUTIONS
➢When you connect the power source, make sure if it may cause overload.
➢Avoid operating on a wet floor in the open. Make sure the extension cable is in
good condition
➢Make sure the power switch is off before you start to install the device

Power
Requiring device power, air-conditioning power and lighting power are
independent toeach other. Devicepower requiresAC 110V±10%, 50/60Hz
or AC 220V±10%, 50/60Hz. Please carefully check before running.
2.5 GROUNDING REQUIREMENT
➢All function modules’ good grounding is the basis of reliability and stability of devices. Also,
they are the most important guarantee of lightning arresting and interference rejection.
Therefore, the system must follow this rule.
➢Grounding conductor must adopt copper conductor in order to reduce high frequency
impedance, and the grounding wire must be as thick and short as possible.
➢Users shouldmake sure the 2 ends of grounding wire well electric conducted and be antirust.
➢It is prohibited to use any other device as part of grounding electric circuit
➢The area of the conduction between grounding wire and device’s frame should be no less
than 25mm2.
