3.2 Environmental Specifications
It is important to protect the 6820 control panel from water. To prevent water damage, the following precautions should be followed when
installing the units:
•
Intended for indoor use in dry locations only
•
Do not mount directly on exterior walls, especially masonry walls (condensation)
•
Do not mount directly on exterior walls below grade (condensation)
•
Protect from plumbing leaks
•
Protect from splash caused by sprinkler system inspection ports
•
Do not mount in areas with humidity-generating equipment (such as dryers, production machinery)
When selecting a location to mount the 6820 control panel, the unit should be mounted where it will NOT be exposed to: temperatures out-
side the range of 0°C- 49°C (32°F-120°F) or humidity exceeding 93% non-condensing.
