Note on handling
■ As a guide, the service life of this product is about 10 years (depending on the operating
conditions). Aging parts include aluminum electrolytic capacitors. Overhauls by module
replacement are recommended. The aluminum electrolytic capacitors are aging parts, and
their life varies significantly depending on the ambient temperature. The life is about 10 years
when the device ambient temperature is 35°C. The life decreases almost by half when the
ambient temperature increases by 10°C.
