  • Page 9: Cleanliness

    Table 1 Temperature and humidity requirements Temperature Relative humidity –20°C to +60°C (–4°F to +140°F) 5% to 90%, noncondensing Cleanliness Dust buildup on the chassis might result in electrostatic adsorption, which causes poor contact of metal components and contact points, especially when indoor relative humidity is low. In the worst case, electrostatic adsorption can cause communication failure.
