The environmental—switch location—continuous temperature range is from 0°C to 45°C (32°F to 113°F).
●
The operating humidity is from 5 to 90 percent noncondensing, continuous.
●
Install in a dry, clean, well-ventilated, and temperature-controlled room, away from heat sources such as hot cooling vents or
direct sunlight.
●
Position away from sources of severe electromagnetic noise.
●
Position in a rack or cabinet, or on a desktop with adequate space in the front, back, and sides for proper ventilation and
