AMG-LP 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: 0° to 50° C (32° to 122° 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. The stage should be
packaged with desiccant if it is to be stored for an extended time.
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 AMG-LP gimbals have limited protection against airborne particles but not water.
This equates to an ingress protection rating of IP40.
Use
Indoor use only
1.2. Accuracy and Temperature Effects
Aerotech products are designed for and built in a 20°C (68°F) environment. Extreme temperature changes
could cause a decrease in performance or permanent damage to the AMG-LP. At a minimum, the
environmental temperature must be controlled to within 0.25ºC per 24 hours to ensure the AMG-LP
specifications are repeatable over an extended period of time. The severity of temperature effects on all
specifications depends on many different environmental conditions, including how the AMG-LP is mounted.
