NOTICE
The Arm contains power electronic components and modules (electric drives,
CPUs, etc.) which heat up depending on the stress the device is subject to.
The Arm does not contain acve cooling systems, meaning that the produced
heat is given o via the Arm’s surface.
Therefore:
• make sure that the Arm is adequately venlated
• make sure the Arm is not exposed to direct sunlight
• make sure that the Arm is not painted, pasted up with something or enwrapped
When operang within the “extended temperature range”, the possibilies for
applicaon of the Arm may be limited (e.g. the speed or acceleraon may need
to be reduced), in order not to overheat the system.
