Environmental Specifications

The following table lists the environmental specifications that general- ly apply to the ADAM-5000 system (System kernel and

I/O modules).

Specification	Rating
Storage temperature	-13 to 185°F (-25 to 85°C)
Ambient operating	14 to 158°F (-10 to 70°C)
temperature
Ambient humidity*	5 to 95%, non-condensing
Atmosphere	No corrosive gases

*Equipment will operate below 30% humidity. However, static electricity problems occur much more frequently at lower humidity levels. Make sure you take adequate precautions before you touch

the equipment. Consider using ground straps, antistatic floor cover- ings, etc. if you use the equipment in low humidity environments.

Power Requirements

Although the ADAM-5000 systems are designed for standard industrial unregulated 24 VDC power supply, they accept any power unit that supplies within the range of +10 to +30VDC. The power supply ripple must be limited to 100 mV peak-to-peak, and the immediate ripple voltage should be maintained between +10 and +30 VDC.

Diagnostic Indicators

Diagnostic indicators are located on the front panel of the ADAM system. They show both normal operation and system status in your remote I/O system. The indicators are:

∙System status (PWR, RUN)

∙Communication status (TX, RX)

∙I/O module status
