In addition, salt, acid and sulfide in the air are also harmful to the switch. Such
harmful gases will aggravate metal corrosion and the aging of some parts. The site should
avoid harmful gases, such as SO

2.1.1.2 Temperature and Humidity
Although the switch is designed to use 4 fans, the site should still maintain a desirable
temperature and humidity. High-humidity conditions can cause electrical resistance
degradation or even electric leakage, degradation of mechanical properties and corrosion
of internal components. Extreme low relative humidity may cause the insulation spacer to
contract, making the fastening screw insecure. Furthermore, in dry environments, static
electricity is liable to be produced and cause harm to internal circuits. Temperature
extremes can cause reduced reliability and premature aging of insulation materials, thus
reducing the switch’s working lifespan. In the hot summer, it is recommended to use
air-conditioners to cool down the site. And the cold winter, it is recommenced to use
heaters.
The recommended temperature and humidity are shown below:
