10.7.2 Standard maintenance procedure
Ambient conditions and derating condition (filter running)
•
Check the ambient temperature (< 40°C/104°F) (if > 40°C/104°F, derating is required)
•
Check the installation altitude (< 1000m/3300ft) (if > 1000m/3300ft, derating is required)
•
Check the ventilation (room and enclosure)
•
Ensure that no conductive dust is present in and around the filter panel
