Although our equipment is tested against extreme environmental conditions for the purposes of marine type approval - installation should take into account the following guidelines:
> Keep the computer away from excessive moisture, direct moisture and the extremes of heat and cold, to ensure that the unit is within the manufacturer's specified ranges:
Temperature : 10 to 35 C (operating), -30 to 60 C (non-operating)
Humidity : 10 to 90% (operating), 5 to 95% (non-operating)
> Leave at least 10.2cm clearance on all vented sides of the computer to permit the required airflow
> Never restrict airflow into the computer by blocking any vents or air intakes
> Occasionally clean the air vents on the front, back and any other vented side of the computer as lint, dust and other foreign matter can block the vents and limit the airflow
> If the computer is to be operated withing a separate enclosure, intake and exhaust ventilation must be provided
By following these guidelines you will maximise the life of your equipment and minimise service costs. |
