12.0 Environmental Specifications
The environmental requirements for the Harrison 950mx are no more restrictive than for any other piece of
sensitive audio equipment. Please note the following requirements and recommendations:
Ambient Air Temperature Limits
Minimum 58.2
ﾺ
F (14.6
ﾺ
C)
Maximum 85
ﾺ
F (30
ﾺ
C)
Operation at the upper extremes of the temperature range is not recommended and may increase
the failure rate of component parts. We recommend the temperature range be maintained between
60
ﾺ
F (15
ﾺ
C) and 78
ﾺ
F (25
ﾺ
C).
Humidity
Humidity should be kept between 10-85% (non-condensing). To prevent condensation, the console
must not be
powered up for several hours after being moved from a cold environment to a heated area.
Atmosphere
Atmospheric contaminants in some areas can reduce the life of electrical contacts and components. Care
must be taken to keep contaminants from coming into contact with your console. Contaminants such as dust,
dirt, ashes, smoking materials, smoke, liquid, etc., may damage your console. Anything other than clean air of
proper temperature and humidity may shorten the life span of the components inside your console. The 950m
should not be placed in environments with either EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) or EMF (Electromagnetic
Fields) which may affect sensitive electronic audio equipment. This includes placement near power mains.
Power Supply Ambient Air Temperature Limits
Minimum 58.2
ﾺ
F (14.6
ﾺ
C)
Maximum 85
ﾺ
F (32
ﾺ
C)
The environment operating conditions for your Harrison power supplies are the same as for the console. Fresh
ambient air (not preheated air from other equipment) must always be available across the full bottom cover of
the supplies. If the power supply is mounted in an enclosed space forced air cooling is necessary to prevent
overheating.
