Power. Ensure that the installation site’s AC power is stable and within the rated voltage of the external power supply.
If the site’s AC power is likely to have spikes or DIPs, use power line conditioning or an uninterruptible power supply.
Temperature. Observe the unit’s ambient temperature specifications when choosing a location for the unit.
Extremes of heat or cold beyond the specified operating temperature limits may cause the unit to fail. Do not install this unit on top of other hot equipment.
Moisture. Do not expose the unit to rain or moisture.
Moisture can damage internal components. Do not install this unit near sources of water.
RS-232 limitations. Cable length between the POS device and the PBe is limited to 50 ft. (15.24 m) Cable length between the PBe unit and the DVR is also limited to 50 ft. (15.24 m). If the supplied cables are replaced by custom made cables to address distances between components, ensure the cable is manufactured to ANSI standards for RS-232 communication.
Power specifications
The PBe is furnished with a power supply (110 or 240 VAC). Do not use any other power supply with this product. The manufacturer accepts no responsibility for damage caused by the use of any other power supply.
