4.4. Suitable Installation Locations
Note:
Prior to installing your HAB™, please take pictures of the label on the left side,
including the serial number, serial number barcode, QR code, and MAC address.
Store this information for your records, it is valuable and may be necessary for
system configuration or troubleshooting. Finding this information after
installation may be difficult.
The HAB™ should be installed high enough above the floor to allow the battery cables to bend
without kinking and allow easy access to the knockouts on the bottom of the HAB. There should
be at least 12 inches (approx. 300 mm) of clearance on both sides. Particular care should be
taken to ensure that the bottom right corner of the HAB™ (where the power and
communication cable access is located) is clear.
Observe the following:
• Install indoors in a cool, dry, ventilated space
• Do not install near a heat source, and keep away from direct sunlight; this prevents the
HAB™ from derating its output or shutting down due to overheating
• Keep away from fire, flammable, or explosive items
• The HAB™ must be out of the reach of children and animals
• Do not install near a transformer or any other strong electromagnetic field. Strong
electromagnetic fields can disrupt the HAB™ communication system
