Environmental Requirements
CAUTION HEAT DISSIPATION AND ENCLOSURE POSITION
System and field power consumption by modules and termination assemblies is
dissipated as heat. You should consider this heat dissipation on the design and
positioning of your enclosure; e.g. enclosures exposed to continuous sunlight
will have a higher internal temperature that could affect the operating
temperature of the modules. Modules operating at the extremes of the
temperature band for a continuous period can have a reduced reliability.
It is recommended that the field power consumption calculations to determine
the heat dissipation are done before designing the enclosure and deciding upon
the installation environment.
Environmental Specifications
The following environmental specification defines the minimum recommended
environmental conditions for an AADvance controller installation. Additional
conditions apply to installations in a Hazardous environment.
