operate the unit in a temperature and humidity controlled, indoor area. 
Exposure to conductive contaminants or corrosive compounds/gases that 
could be ingested into the chassis could result in internal damage. Keep 
the  rear  and  sides  of  the  unit  free  of  obstructions  to  ensure  proper 
ventilation. 
 
No  routine  maintenance  on  the  DC  Asterion  Series  is  required,  aside  from  periodic
