Chapter 3: Operating Specifications
The surrounding environment and operating conditions can affect the performance and service life of the
stage. This chapter contains general technical information about the ASR1200 on ideal environmental, oper-
ating, and basic product specifications.
3.1. Environmental Specifications
The environmental specifications for the ASR1200 are listed in the following table.
Table 3-1:
Environmental Specifications
Ambient
Temperature
Operating: 16° to 25° C (61° to 77° F)
The optimal operating temperature is 20° C ±2° C (68° F ±4° F). If at any time the operating tem-
perature deviates from 20° C degradation in performance could occur. Contact Aerotech for
information regarding your specific application and environment.
Storage: 0° to 40° C (32° to 104° F) in original shipping packaging
Humidity
Operating: 40 percent to 60 percent RH
The optimal operating humidity is 50 percent RH.
Storage: 30 percent to 60 percent RH, non-condensing in original packaging
Altitude
Operating: 0 to 2,000 m (0 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
stage and system performance. Contact Aerotech for information regarding your specific appli-
cation.
Dust Expo-
sure
The ASR1200 stages have limited protection against dust, but not water. This equates to an
ingress protection rating of IP50.
Use
Indoor use only
Do not expose the stage to environments or conditions outside the specified range of oper-
ating environments. Operation in conditions other than those specified can cause damage to
the equipment.
3.2. Accuracy and Temperature Effects
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.
