0ºC to 45ºC 10% to 90% The ambient temperature and humidity are measured at a point 1.5 meters (4.9 feet) above the ground and 0.4 meters (1.3 feet) before the device when there is no protective board in the front or back of the rack. Cleanness Dust poses a serious threat to device operation.
Grounding System A good grounding system protects your wireless controller against lightning strikes and interferences and ensures its normal operation and reliability. Please observe the grounding requirements and on-site environment. Make sure the wireless controller is properly grounded. Properly connecting the wireless controller ground wires guarantees the wireless controller against lightning strikes and interferences.
the rack, work bench or the wall on the equipment room. When a surge arrestor is being used, alternating current flows through the surge arrestor before entering the wireless controller. Surge arrestors are customer supplied. For details of surge arrestors, see related user guide. All interference sources, either from outside or inside of the device or application system, affect the device by capacitive coupling, inductive coupling, or electromagnetic waves.
