Environment
Use the monitor in an environment that is reasonably free from vibration, dust, corrosive
or explosive gases, flammable agents, extremes of temperature, humidity and so forth. It
operates within specifications at ambient temperatures between 0 and 55
o
C. Ambient
temperatures that exceed these limits can affect the accuracy of the monitor and cause
damage to the components and circuits. Only products that fulfil the necessary safety and
electrical standards should be used in conjunction with the monitor (contact your local
response center for details).
Allow at least 5cm (2in) clearance around the monitor for proper air circulation. If the
monitor is mounted in a cabinet, allow sufficient space at the front for operation and at the
rear for servicing with the cabinet door open.
