Although all 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 equipment away from excessive moisture, direct moisture and the extremes of heat and cold and, wherever possible, ensure that the equipment is within the manufacturer's specified ranges:
Temperature : 5 to 35 C (operating), -40 to 60 C (non-operating)
Humidity : 8 to 85% (operating), 8 to 90% (non-operating)
> Leave at least 15.2cm clearance on all vented sides of the equipment to permit the required airflow
> Never restrict airflow into the equipment by blocking any vents or air intakes
> If the equipment is to be operated within 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. |
