| Operating Conditions |
|
The case of the dCS 974 has no ventilation slots or fan cooling, to give:
•quiet operation (does not need to be installed in a machine room)
•internal temperature stability
•improved electrical safety
•long term reliability
•no regular maintenance or cleaning requirements
It dissipates relatively low power, so that usually allowing natural convection provides enough cooling. Do not install the unit near heat sources such as radiators, air ducts or direct strong sunlight. Ambient should not exceed 50°C, should not fall below 0°C, and should be non condensing. If in doubt, the easy test is – the dCS 974 is happy to work anywhere a human is.
