1.4 Operating Environment
This section describes the required environmental and power supply conditions.
1.4.1 Environmental Conditions
The 6253 must be installed in an environment meeting the following conditions:
• Ambient temperature: 0 C to +50 C (temperature range for operation)
-25 C to +70 C (temperature range for storage)
• Relative humidity: 85 % or lower without condensation
• Indoor use
• Location not subject to corrosive gasses
• Away from direct sunlight
•Dust free
• Vibration free
•Noise free
The 6253 is designed with full consideration given to the noise contained in the AC power line.
Nevertheless, it is recommended that the 6253 be used in an environment with as little line noise as
possible.
If line noise is unavoidable, use a noise filter.
• Positioning
A cooling fan is located on the rear panel and vents are located on the side panels.
Do not block these fan and vents. Leave at least 10 cm of free space between the rear panel and the
wall.
Also, do not position the 6253 in a position with the rear panel facing down.
Obstructing the vents will cause the internal temperature to rise, possibly causing faulty operation.
• Mounting in a rack
Ensure that exhaust air from other devices is not directed at the vents on the 6253.
To prevent the temperature in the rack from rising, install a heat sink fan.
