Environment Conditions - Alaxala AX6300S Series Instruction Manual

2. Preparation for Installation

2.7 Environment conditions

(1) Dust
Because cooling fan units are mounted in a Switch, do not install them in a humid or
dusty place. Dust requirements for the Switch are as follows:
Airborne dust concentration: 0.15 mg/m
Measuring Methods for Suspended Particulate Matter Concentration in Air:
General Requirements)
NOTE
(2) Corrosive and flammable gases
Install the Switch in a place free of corrosive or flammable gases. If the Switch is
installed where it is exposed to corrosive gases, the Switch will deteriorate and
become unreliable.
(3) Floor surface material
The Switch can be installed in an ordinary office room. However, the floor surface
should have the following properties:
Fireproof
Dust-resistant
(4) Direct sunlight
Do not expose the Switch to direct sunlight.
(5) Water
When cleaning the floor, do not allow the Switch to be exposed to water.
(6) Electromagnetic interference
Please note that when using high-frequency devices near the Switch, waves
emitted by such devices might interfere with normal operation of the Switch.
The Switch generates weak high-frequency radio waves that might affect indoor
antennas for television, radio, and transceivers within 30 m of the Switch.
(7) Cable protection
Route the cables through ducts or cover them for protection.
If cables are unprotected, mice or other animals might bite or chew them, leading to
cable disconnection.
Fiber-optic cables require special handling; lay the cables with a bend radius of 100
mm or more along the major axis and 50 mm or more along the minor axis, and
protect them with metal covers.
For fiber-optic cables with the required number of cores, ensure that they are
protected against repeated mechanical stress due to bending, stretching,
compression, and straightening when laying the cables, and ensure that they are
protected against environmental stress after installation.
66
Generally, areas around printers or with large numbers of people
passing by contain high levels of toner or dust. Do not install the
Switch in such places.
