the material and strength of the area where the prod-
uct is to be installed.

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

swimming pool

 •  Locations subject to moisture or oil smoke such as a

kitchen

 •  Locations  that  have  a  specific  environment  that  is

subject to an inflammable atmosphere or solvents

 •  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,  such  as  on  vehicles,

marine vessels, or above product lines (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 checks to ensure that the tightening is 
sufficient enough so that there is no movement or 
looseness. 

When noise disturbance may happen

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. 

Radio disturbance
When this product is used near TV/radio antenna, strong 
electric field or magnetic field (near a motor, a transformer 
or a power line), images may be distorted and noise may 
be produced.
