What to do before installing the IP54 Kit
Before you begin, make sure that you have followed all of the standard installation steps that are previously explained.
Caution : The IP54 kit installed with the IR829 chassis is not intended to meet the hazardous locations IP54 requirement per IEC 60079-15:2005, clause 23. For hazardous locations installation instructions, see the Getting Started and Product Document of Compliance for IR829 Integrated Services Router .
Caution : All cabling that extends from the IR829 and terminates elsewhere (i.e. Power, Ethernet, Antenna, etc.) must have a minimum ingress protection rating of IP54 per EN60529 when used in conjunction with the IP54 shroud. It is the responsibility of the customer to ensure all cabling and terminations outside of the IR829 meet the required ingress protection requirement. In addition, the IR829 is NOT designed for and should not be placed outdoors. The intent of the IP54 shroud is to provide supplementary protection to the IR829 against dust and occasional splashing water. Cisco cannot guarantee prolonged reliable operation of the IR829 product if these guidelines are violated.
Caution : Before beginning the installation of the IP54 kit, consider carefully whether the installation site is strong enough to support the combined weight of the IP54 enclosure and the Cisco IR829 that it encloses.
