Especially when the indoor relative humidity is low, electrostatic adsorption is more likely to happen. This can not only shorten the service life of your device but also cause communications failures. The following table lists the dust concentration limit.

| Substance | Concentration limit (particles//m³) |
Dust |
| ≤ 3 x 104 (no visible dust on the tabletop over three days) |
Note: The dust diameter is greater than or equal to 5 μm.
Besides dust, there are rigorous limits on the content of harmful substances in the air that can accelerate the corrosion and aging of metals, such as chloride, acid, and sulfide in the equipment room. The equipment room must be protected against ingression of harmful gases such as SO2, H2S, NH3, and Cl2. For specific requirements, see the following table.
Table
Gas | Maximum concentration (mg/m3) |
SO2 | 0.2 |

H2S | 0.006 |

NH3 | 0.05 |

Cl2 | 0.01 |

Electromagnetic Susceptibility
The operation of your switch can be affected by external interferences, such as conducted emission by capacitance coupling, inductance coupling, electromagnetic wave radiation, and common impedance (including the grounding system) coupling, and leads (power cables, signaling cables and output wires). To eliminate the interferences, pay attention to the following:
z

As the AC power system is a TN system, use a
Keep the device far away from radio transmitting stations, radar stations, and
Use electromagnetic shielding, for example, shielded interface cables, when necessary.
Route interface cables only indoors to prevent signal ports from getting damaged by
