Important installation prerequisites
IMPORTANT: Make sure you read the following information before installing the controller.
Professional installation required
Prior to installing or using this device, consult with a professional installer trained in RF installation
and knowledgeable in local regulations including building and wiring codes, safety, channel,
power, indoor/outdoor restrictions, and license requirements for the intended country. It is the
responsibility of the end user to ensure that installation and use comply with local safety and radio
regulations.
Cabling
You must use the appropriate cables, and where applicable, surge protection, for your given
region. For compliance with EN55022 Class-B emissions requirement, use shielded Ethernet cables.
Country of use
Some versions of the unit require the installer to select the country of operation during set up. Once
the country has been set, the unit will automatically limit the available wireless channels, ensuring
compliant operation in the selected country. Incorrectly entering the country may result in illegal
operation and may cause harmful interference to other systems.
Safety
Take note of the following safety information during installation.
• If your network covers an area served by more than one power distribution system, be sure
all safety grounds are securely interconnected.
• Network cables may occasionally be subject to hazardous transient voltages (caused by
lightning or disturbances in the electrical power grid).
• Handle exposed metal components of the network with caution.
