•
The ambient air temperature must not exceed the maximum operating
temperature. Consider heat produced by other devices in the enclosure. You
may need a user-supplied fan, heat exchanger, or air conditioner to meet
this condition.
•
The humidity of the ambient air must not exceed specified limits.
•
In dry environments, static charges build up readily. Proper grounding of the
equipment through the AC power cord helps to reduce static discharges,
which may cause shocks and damage electronic components.
•
The enclosure or cover must remain in place at all times during operation.
The cover provides protection against high voltages inside the product and
inhibits radio-frequency emissions that might interfere with other equipment.

TIP
Hot air rises. The temperature at the top of the enclosure is often higher than the
temperature in other parts of the enclosure, especially if air is not circulating.
IMPORTANT
The product can operate at a range of extremes. However, the life span of any electronic
device is shortened if you continuously operate the product at its highest rated
temperature.
