What Are the Installation Site Requirements for the Apstec Merlin?
To ensure stable and efficient operation of the Apstec Merlin system, it is essential to choose the right installation site. Below are the key requirements.
đź“Ź 1. Installation Area
Minimum Space: 2.58 m (length) Ă— 1.5 m (width) Ă— 2.5 m (height).
Surface: Flat, solid, vibration-free, and non-metallic.
- Metal Objects: Must be at least 2 m away from the Apstec Merlin system;for large metal structures — up to 4 m.
- Electrical Equipment:Keep a distance of 0.5–4 m from potential interference sources (monitors, transformers, motors, power cables, etc.).
- Stability:The system must not sway or require frequent recalibration due to wind or vibration.
Inspection Zone: No foreign objects inside the inspection zone.
🖥️ 2. Operator’s Workstation
A power socket and an Ethernet port must be available near the operator’s desk.
The connection between the operator’s PC and the Apstec Merlin system should be established via Ethernet cable, either directly or through a local network (minimum speed: 100 Mbit/s).
đź”’ 3. Remote Access & GDPR Compliance
Remote Access: Remote access is required for technical support and system monitoring via a secure, encrypted Internet channel. If an Internet connection is not possible, the setup must be coordinated with the APSTEC Technical Support Team.
GDPR Compliance: All data is processed locally on the device — no cloud processing is required for Apstec Merlin operation.
🚨 CRITICAL REQUIREMENT:
Each installation site must be approved by the APSTEC Technical Support Team. Do not move the system without their consent — this may lead to reduced performance.
