The Panelview 550 terminals should be installed in well-protected environments to ensure optimal performance. When installing the Panelview 550 terminals, use a panel or enclosure to protect the internal circuitry. The standard operator interfaces feature indoor use ratings only and they should be properly mounted in panels or enclosures with equivalent ratings. During installation, ensure that there is enough space within the enclosure to ensure that there is adequate ventilation and to prevent overheating. The heat that is produced by other devices can result in overheating, affecting the functionality of these terminals. The ambient operating temperature range around the Panelview 550 terminals should be 0 to 55 degrees Celsius. Ensure that there is a provision for accessing the back panel of the terminals to support wiring, device maintenance, and the installation of a memory card as well as easy troubleshooting.
