Environmental exercise conditions
The equipment can work normally in the following environmental conditions
(for uses in different conditions, a special equipment is required):
o temperature from -20°C (-4°F) to +55°C (131°F)
(even +70°C (158 °F) for short periods which do not exceed 24 h);
o humidity from 30% to 90% (at 20°C);
o max wind speed 12,5 m/s (45 Km/h - 27,96 mph).
Do not cover the equipment with cloths in order to avoid condensation
inside the electrical boards.
After storage in closed and very wet places for a long period, the machine
could have some problems due to condensation in the electrical boards:
in this case, should this occur, please contact the C.M.C. Service before
use.
Do not work in areas with dangerous environmental conditions:
poor visibility, storms, lightning risk, etc.
Do not work inside refrigerating rooms.
Do not operate when the wind speed exceeds a 12,5 m/s (45 Km/h).
We hereby enclose the Beaufort wind scale (Table 1):
