5 Environmental specifications
Technical and environmental specifications for the Intelligent Peripheral
Equipment (IPE) and its associated hardware include the following
considerations:
•
•
•
•
•
The following information describes these requirements.
Ambient temperature
Ambient temperature requirements for the IPE are specified in the table that
follows.
Table 5-1 Ambient temperature requirements
Ambient Temperature
Recommended range:
59-86° F (15-30° C)
Note: The equipment must not be exposed to the maximum ambient
temperature in excess of 48 continuous hours.
Circuit breaker status and faults
The Extended System Monitor (XSM) has control of its column's circuit
breaker and can trip the breaker to prevent further damage if the column is
overheating. Status of the circuit breaker is reported to the Central Controller
(CC) as one of the following values:
•
•
Each circuit breaker is powered independently. Therefore, activating the
circuit breaker does not cause the XSM that activated it to lose power.
