Environment Considerations for 8-mm Data Cartridges
Information in this section describes operating and storage conditions including temperature, relative humidity, and maximum wet bulb data.
Attention: | The | manufacturer | has | specified | a set | of temperature | and humidity |
| ||
ranges | in which the | regular |
| |||||||
cleaning | procedures are required when operating the cartridge within | this range. | The | |||||||
risk | of | possible data loss is | increased | if | operated, | stored, | ||||
or | shipped | outside the | temperature or | humidity | ranges shown in | the | following table. |
Before using a cartridge, always let it adjust (acclimate) to the operating environment. Do this by placing the cartridge with its container in the operating environment for as long as it has been away from this environment or for 24 hours, whichever is less.
Acclimation is necessary for any data cartridge that | has been | exposed to a differen | |||||||||||
humidity environment or | a temperature | change of | 11°C | or | 20°F or | more. | |||||||
