Overview
ALS130H Hardware Manual
1.1. Environmental Specifications
W A R N I N G : Do not expose this product to environments or conditions outside of the listed
specifications. Exceeding environmental or operating specifications can cause damage to the
equipment.
Table 1-2:
Environmental Specifications
Ambient
Temperature
Operating: 10° to 35° C (50° to 95° F)
The optimal operating temperature is 20° C ±2° C (68° F ±4° F). If at any time the
operating temperature deviates from 20° C, degradation in performance could occur.
Storage: 0° to 40° C (32° to 104° F) in original shipping packaging
Humidity
Operating: 20% to 60% RH
Storage: 10% to 70% RH, non-condensing in original packaging.
Altitude
Operating: 0 m to 2,000 m (0 ft to 6,562 ft) above sea level
Contact Aerotech if your specific application involves use above 2,000 m or below sea
level.
Vibration
Use the system in a low vibration environment. Excessive floor or acoustical vibration
can affect system performance. Contact Aerotech for information regarding your spe-
cific application.
Protection
Rating
The ALS130H stages are not suited for dusty or wet environments. This equates to an
ingress protection rating of IP00.
Use
Indoor use only
1.2. Accuracy and Temperature Effects
The accuracy specification of ALS130H series stages is measured 25 mm above the table with the stage in
an unloaded condition. The stage is assumed to be fully supported by a mounting surface meeting or
exceeding the specification in
Extreme temperature changes could cause a decrease in performance or permanent damage to the stage.
Aerotech stages are designed for and built in a 20°C (68°F) environment. Any deviation from standard
operating temperature will affect stage accuracy. The severity of temperature effects on all stage
specifications depends on many different environmental conditions, including how the stage is mounted.
