The average service life of the device fans is 50,000 hours. In practice, however, the service
life depends on other variables, e.g. ambient temperature, degree of cabinet protection, etc.
and, therefore, may deviate from this value in individual cases.
The fans must be replaced in good time to ensure that the device is available.
