Temperature and Humidity

Operating1
Temperature	5°C to 55°C (41°F to 131°F)
Humidity	10-90% RH non-condensing
	33°C (maximum wet bulb)
Thermal Gradient	10°C/hour (maximum)
Non-Operating
Temperature	-40°C to 60°C (-40°F to 140°F)
Humidity	5-95% RH non-condensing
	33°C (maximum wet bulb)
Thermal Gradient	20°C/hour (maximum)

1The system environment must provide sufficient air flow to limit maximum surface temperatures as defined in Table 2-12.

2.5.3. Cooling

Drive component temperatures must remain within the limits specified in Table 2-12. Figure 2-7 and Figure 2-8 show the temperature measurement locations. Sustained operation at temperatures in excess of the reliability values degrades the MTBF rating. Short excursions up to, but not exceeding, the maximum values do not affect the MTBF rating. Maximum component temperature ratings must not be exceeded under any operating condition. The drive may require forced air cooling to meet specified operating temperatures.
