•
Maintain ambient airflow for normal switch operation. If the airflow is blocked or restricted, or if the
intake air is too warm, the switch might overheat, leading to the switch temperature monitor shutting
down the device to protect the hardware components.
Table 24 on page 59 provides the required environmental conditions for normal switch operation for all
EX4650 models.
Table 24: EX4650 Environmental Tolerances
