    Indoor use only 1.2. Accuracy and Temperature Effects Aerotech products are designed for and built in a 20°C (68°F) environment. Extreme temperature changes could cause a decrease in performance or permanent damage to the WaferMaxT. At a minimum, the environmental temperature must be controlled to within 0.25ºC per 24 hours to ensure the WaferMaxT specifications are repeatable over an extended period of time.
