dir
ect sunlight, high humidity, dust, temperature extremes, external air sources, and corrosive or

The system will operate within spec
ifications in room temperatures from 18.0–30.0 °C (64.4–86.0 °F).
Relative humidity should be between 25–80% (non-condensing) for temperatures less than or equal to
30.0 °C (86.0 °F). The maximum dew point for operation is 26.1 °C for temperatures over 30.0 °C.

Environments that exceed these limits could adver
sely affect the performance of the system
components.

tem
perature controller's setting (35 °C). This accuracy can be assured only if the room temperature
meets the requirements given above.
