Operating Environment
This section explains the operating environment for the GL860.
Ambient Operating Conditions
(1) Ambient temperature and humidity (the GL860 must be operated within the following ranges.)
•
Temperature range: 0 to 45°C (0 to 40°C when a battery pack is mounted, 15 to 35°C when battery is being
charged)
•
Humidity range: 5 to 85%R.H.
(2) Environment (do not use in the following locations.)
•
Outdoor
•
A Location such as being exposed to direct sunlight
•
Locations exposed to salty air, corrosive gases, or organic solvents
•
Dusty locations
•
Locations subject to vibration or impact
•
Locations subject to voltage surge or electromagnetic interference such as lightning or electric furnaces
(3) Installation category (over-voltage category)
•
The GL860 belongs to Installation Category II defined in IEC60664-1.
•
Never use the GL860 for Installation Category III or IV.
(4) Measurement category
•
The Standard 20CH screw terminal (B-563), Standard 20CH screwless terminal (B-563SL) and Standard 30CH
screwless terminal (B-563SL-30) connected to the GL860 should be not used in Measurement Category II, III,
and IV.
•
The withstand high-voltage high-precision terminal (B-565) connected to belongs to Category II.
(5) Altitude
•
Altitude up to 2000 m.
(6) Mains supply voltage
•
100 to 240 VAC ±10%
(7) Pollution degree
•
POLLUTION DEGREE 2 in accordance with IEC60664
• If condensation occurs...
Condensation occurs in the form of water droplets on the device surfaces and interior when the GL860 is moved from a
cold to a warm location. Using the GL860 with condensation will cause malfunctioning.
Wait until the condensation has disappeared before turning on the power.
Warming-up Before Use
The GL860 should be allowed to warm up with the power turned on for approximately 30 minutes to ensure that it
operates according to the specified performance.
