Environmental conditions
Table 7 lists the recommended environmental conditions in which the system should be operated and
stored.
Heat load
The HPS generates a certain amount of heat during operation. Refer to Table 8 for the approximate heat
output of the HPS operating at both a 10% duty cycle and 50% duty cycle. The duty cycle is defined as the
amount of time that the HPS operates under full load conditions. For example, operating at a 10% duty
cycle would mean performing approximately one 6-minute test at full load per hour.
