Temperature Specification
Kontron defines following temperature grades for Computer-on-Modules in
general. Please see chapter 'Product Specification' for available temperature grades
for the COMe-bEP7.

Operating with Kontron heatspreader plate assembly
The operating temperature defines two requirements:
the maximum ambient temperature with ambient being the air surrounding the
module,
the maximum measurable temperature on any spot on the heatspreader's surface.
Table 18: Test Specification
Temperature Grade
Validation requirements
Commercial grade
at 60°C HSP temperature the CPU @ 100% load needs to
run at nominal frequency
Industrial grade by
Design (E2)
at 85°C HSP temperature the CPU @ 50% load is
allowed to start throttling for thermal protection
7.3.
Operating without Kontron heatspreader plate assembly
The operating temperature is the maximum measurable temperature on any spot
on the module's surface.
Humidity: Relative Humidity at 40°C is 93%, non-condensing (according to IEC 60068-2-78).
