Overview

This page describes how to install the EchoSystem SafeCapture HD (SafeCapture HD).

After you complete this procedure, continue with configuration of the SafeCapture HD.

The maximum allowable operating temperature of the SafeCapture HD device is 50°C/122°F. Be sure to install the device in a location where the temperature around the unit does not exceed this limit. If operated in an environment where temperatures exceed this limit, the unit may overheat and malfunction permanently.

Installation

    • Observe the safety standards that apply to installation location.

    • If required, follow the mounting brackets installation procedures to install mounting brackets.
    • Be sure to ground the appliance properly. See Ground the Capture Appliance.
  3. On the back of the SafeCapture HD, find the label with the device's MAC address. Write down the MAC address. You will need this information when you register the device.
