The specification stated is valid only for one heater. Note: If you use Tandem-AutoBox with the heater option, two heaters are
installed and therefore the power consumption doubles.
Tandem-AutoBox: Ensuring Correct Operating
Temperatures
The operating temperatures of hardware devices directly affect their
life time and their functionality. To avoid shortening the life times of
the hardware components, ensure that the operating temperature of
the dSPACE system does not exceed the specified ambient
temperature, for example, due to improper installation.
