Ambient conditions

 

 

 

   CAUTION

 

 

 

 

Installation site! 
The machine must not be operated in the open air and must only be set up and 
operated on a suitable, stable and level base! 

•  The operator must ensure that the ground is non-slip and level, and provide sufficient 

lighting for the place of work. 

•  Safe operation of the machine must be guaranteed at all times. 

 

 

 

 

 

  CAUTION

 

 

 

 

Equipment damage due to dirt accumulation! 
Unusually high quantities of dust, acid, corrosive gases or substances may damage the 
equipment. 

•  Avoid high volumes of smoke, vapour, oil vapour and grinding dust! 
•  Avoid ambient air containing salt (sea air)! 

 

 

 

Non-permissible ambient conditions! 
Insufficient ventilation results in a reduction in performance and equipment damage. 

•  Observe the ambient conditions! 
•  Keep the cooling air inlet and outlet clear! 
•  Observe the minimum distance of 0.5 m from obstacles!

In operation 

Temperature range of the ambient air: 

•  -25 °C to +40 °C 

Relative air humidity: 

•  Up to 50% at 40 °C 
•  Up to 90% at 20 °C 

2.4.2.2

 

Transport and storage 

Storage in an enclosed space, temperature range of the ambient air:
