Environmental Requirements

CAUTION

The criteria on this page must be observed for all installations of the

ImageStar HD

whether free-standing or rack-mounted.

Orientation

The

ImageStar HD

must be operated in the horizontal position only. When used free-standing it must

be placed on a stable, flat and level surface. Ensure that the surface finish will not be affected by the
heat produced by the

ImageStar HD

when in use.

Temperature

DO NOT install or operate the

ImageStar HD

in an area where the ambient temperature exceeds

35°C (95°F) or falls below 5°C (35°F).

Remember that, as with all electronic equipment, the

ImageStar HD

and its associated PSU also

produces heat which may affect the ambient temperature.

After the

ImageStar HD

has been in use for a period of time the external casing will be very warm to

the touch. While the temperature is well within safe limits please be aware that it may be hotter than
you are expecting. Ensure that any adjacent surfaces will not be affected by the heat.

Ventilation

No special ventilation is required. However, it is recommended that free air circulation is permitted
around the unit.

Humidity & Water

DO NOT install or operate the

ImageStar HD

in an area in which the ambient relative humidity

exceeds 85% or in an area that is prone to condensation.

DO NOT install or operate the

ImageStar HD

near water or in a location which may be prone to water

seepage — the

ImageStar HD

is not waterproof.
