Operating Environment - Yamaha RCX222 User Manual

1. Operating environment

Operating temperature
Operating temperature
The ambient temperature should be maintained within a range of 0 to 40°C in
order to guarantee continuous operation of the robot controller that meets the
initial specifications. If the robot controller is installed in a narrow space, then heat
generated from the controller itself and from peripheral equipment may drive the
temperature above the allowable operating temperature range. This may result in
thermal runaway or malfunctions and may lower component performance along with
shortening their useful service life. So be sure to install the controller in locations
with a vent having a natural air flow. If this proves insufficient, provide forced air-
cooling.
Storage temperature
Storage temperature
The controller should be stored in a location at an ambient temperature between -10
and +65°C when not being used. If the robot controller is stored in a location at high
temperatures for extended periods, deterioration of the electronic components may
occur and the memory backup time may decrease.
Operating humidity
Operating humidity
The ambient humidity should be 35% to 85% RH (no condensation) in order
to guarantee continuous operation of the robot controller that meets the initial
specifications. Installing the robot controller inside an air-conditioned or cooled
housing is recommended when the ambient humidity is high or when condensation
occurs.
Storage humidity
Storage humidity
The controller should be stored in a location at an ambient humidity below 95% RH
(no condensation) when not being used. If the robot controller is stored in a location
at high humidity for an extended period of time, rust may form on the electronic
components in the robot controller.
Vibration and shock
Do not apply strong shocks to the controller. Do not install the controller in locations
subject to large vibrations or shocks. The controller may malfunction or break down
if subjected to large vibrations or shocks.
