Tech/Engineering - Engineering (general)
Portuguese term or phrase: Área de fixação
Trata-se de um manual de instalação de catracas. Como se trata de um termo usado inúmeras vezes ao longo do documento, gostaria de ver algumas sugestões dos colegas. Para contextualizar, eis o segmento completo:

"Antes de fixar o equipamento no piso certifique-se de que não existam encanamentos de gás, água ou energia elétrica na área de fixação desejada, evitando-se assim, acidentes indesejados."

area of installation


Explanation:
Penso que "area of installation" se aplica a vários contextos. Veja exemplos abaixo.

Example sentence(s):
  • Remove all hanging objects from the walls directly in and around the area of installation...
  • Be aware that the area of installation must be climate controlled

neutral  Oliver Simões: O "designated" corresponde a "desejada", que não faz parte da pergunta!

disagree  Claudio Mazotti: Não era necessário vc postar esta sugestão. Bastava concordar com Oliveira e inserir suas anotações nos comentários. Esta é uma forma agradável de coleguismo entre os membros!

  -> Sou novo aqui, postei mal. O "designated" corresponde a "desejada" e realmente, não faz parte da pergunta. Penso que "designated" atende a ideia do original em sites escritos por americanos (conforme indiquei acima). Assim, tenho outra opinião:-)
