High or low extreme temperatures or low air pressure at high altitude that the battery can be subjected to during
use, storage or transportation.
Leaving the battery in an extremely high temperature and/or low air pressure surrounding environment that can
result in an explosion or the leakage of flammable liquid or gas.
2.2 Installation Site Requirements
To ensure the normal working and a prolonged durable life of the equipment, the installation site must meet the
following requirements.
2.2.1 Ventilation
For the RG-NBS5100 series, a sufficient space (at least 10 cm distances from both sides and the back plane of the
cabinet) should be reserved at the ventilation openings to ensure the normal ventilation. After various cables have been
connected, they should be arranged into bundles or placed on the cabling rack to avoid blocking the air inlets. It is
recommended to clean the switch at regular intervals (like once every 3 months). Especially, avoid dust from blocking
the screen mesh on the back of the cabinet.
2.2.2 Temperature and Humidity
To ensure the normal operation and prolong the service life of RG-NBS5100 series switch, you should keep proper
temperature and humidity in the equipment room.
If the equipment room has temperature and humidity that do not meet the requirements for a long time, the equipment
may be damaged.
In an environment with high relative humidity, the insulating material may have bad insulation or even leak
electricity. Sometimes the materials may suffer from mechanical performance change and metallic parts may get
rusted.
In an environment with low relative humidity, however, the insulating strip may dry and shrink. Static electricity
may occur easily and endanger the circuit on the equipment.
In an environment with high temperature, the equipment is subject to even greater harm, as its performance may
degrade significantly and various hardware faults may occur.
Therefore, the ambient temperature and humidity of the RG-NBS5100 series must meet the requirements listed in
Table 2-1:
Table 2-1 Temperature and Humidity Requirements of the RG-NBS5100 Series Switch
Temperature
Relative Humidity
0 ºC to 50ºC
10% to 90%
The requirements for the sampling site of the temperature and humidity in the operating environment of the device
are as follows:
There is no protective plate at the front or back of the equipment rack.
The vertical height is 1.5 m above the floor.
The distance from the front panel of the equipment is 0.4 m.
