between 5 and 40
°
C and a relative humidity between 20 to 80%RH.
• When storing the instrument, avoid the following places:
• In direct sunlight.
• Where the temperature is 60
°
C or higher.
• A place with a relative humidity of 80% or more.
• Near heat sources
• Where the level of mechanical vibration is high.
• Where corrosive or explosive gas is present.
• Where an excessive amount of soot, dust, salt, and iron are present.
