7. OPERATING ENVIRONMENT
Bytton LTE was designed for indoor use only, so you should NOT operate it outdoors unles it is
placed into weatherproof enclosures.
You must install the Bytton LTE equipment in closed rooms or enclosures, where the environment
conditions should be:
operating temperature range: from 0 to 75
o
C in case of units with components in
the commercial temperature range, and respectively from -25 up to +80
o
C in case of
units built using h components in the industrial temperature range
relative humidity: from 5 to 95 %, non-condensing.
The extended temperature range version can operate form -30
o
C up to +80
o
C ambient temperature, but
the case is not waterproof – the IP rating is just 20.
For outdoors usage, you must ensure its protection against rain, spay, or saline mist!
You should avoid dust and prolonged exposure to sun radiation. In addition, Bytton LTE must NOT
be used in a flammable or explosive environment, or in locations where toxic or flammable gases may
accumulate.
The equipment must be handled with care, to avoid mechanical shocks and blows.
Bytton LTE should not be used in an environment with high level of EMI (electromagnetic
interferences) that is in close proximity to high power equipment such as electric motors or heaters. In
addition, it should not be placed near copiers, PC monitors, TV sets or other audio-video appliances.
In order to ensure adequate working temperature, the Bytton LTE interface must not be used too
near heat sources or in direct sunshine.
Also, it must not be overcrowded: you must leave free space around, below and above the Bytton
LTE router. This is needed both for connecting phones / data / antennas cables, and also for ventilation
(natural air cooling to dissipate the heat generated during operation).
Remember, when allowed operating temperature is exceeded this may not have an immediate,
visible effect on the BYTTON unit, but it can result in unreliable operation, accelerated ageing and hence
diminishing of lifetime.
When selecting the location for installing Bytton LTE and its external antennas you must remember
the recommendations described in the chapter about mounting the equipment.
Bytton LTE equipment does not include materials or components that are harmful to the
environment.
When the life cycle of this equipment is finished and it cannot be repaired or re-used anymore, you
should dispose of it in accordance with laws and legal regulations that are valid in your area.
