 •  Ensure that the mounting surface, anchor and screws

are sufficiently strong. 

 •  Do  not  mount  the  product  on  a  plaster  board  or  a

wooden section because they are too weak. If the 
product is unavoidably mounted on such a section, 
the section shall be sufficiently reinforced. 

Do not place this product in the following places:
 •  Locations where a chemical agent is used such as a

swimming pool

 •  Locations  subject  to  humidity,  dust,  steam  and  oil

smoke 

 •  Locations where a radiation, an X-ray, a strong radio

wave or a strong magnetic field is generated

 •  Locations where corrosive gas is produced, locations

where it may be damaged by briny air such as sea-
shores

 •  Locations  where  the  temperature  is  not  within  the

specified range (☞ page 36).

 •  Locations  subject  to  vibrations  (This  product  is  not

designed for on-vehicle use.)

 •  Locations  subject  to  condensation  as  the  result  of

severe changes in temperature (In case of installing 
the product in such locations, the dome cover may 
become foggy or condensation may be caused on 
the cover.) 

Screw tightening
 •  The  screws  and  bolts  must  be  tightened  with  an

appropriate tightening torque according to the materi-
al and strength of the installation area. 

 •  Do not use an impact driver. Use of an impact driver

may damage the screws or cause tightening exces-
sively.

 •  When a screw is tightened, make the screw at a right

angle to the surface. After tightening the screws or 
bolts, perform visual check to ensure tightening is 
enough and there is no backlash. 

When noise disturbance may happen
Conduct the power distribution work to keep a distance of 
1 m {3.28 feet} or more from the 120 V (for U.S. and 
Canada) or 220 V - 240 V (for Europe and other countries) 
power line. Or conduct the electric conduit work sepa-
rately.
