Operating environment

I Installation location
Install the robot controller indoors, at a height of less than 1000 meters above sea
level.
I Operating temperature
The ambient temperature should be maintained within a range of 0 to 40°C during
operation. This is the range in which continuous operation of the robot controller is
guaranteed according to the initial specifications. If the robot controller is installed in
a narrow space, heat generated from the controller itself and from peripheral equip-
ment may drive the temperature above the allowable operating temperature range.
This may result in thermal runaway or malfunction and may lower component per-
formance along with shortening their useful service life. So be sure to install the con-
troller in locations with a vent having a natural air flow. If this proves insufficient
provide forced air-cooling.
I Operating humidity
The ambient humidity of the robot controller should be kept 35 to 85% RH (no con-
densation) in order to guarantee continuous operation within the initial specifications.
I Storage temperature
The controller should be stored in a location having an ambient temperature range
from -10 to +65°C when not being used. If the robot controller is stored in a location
at high temperatures for extended periods, deterioration of the electronic components
may occur and the memory backup time may decrease.
I Storage humidity
The controller should be stored in a location having an ambient humidity below 95%
RH when not being used. If the robot controller is stored in a location with high hu-
midity for an extended period of time, rust may form on the electronic components.
I Vibration and shock
Do not apply excessive shocks or constant vibrations to the robot controller. Install the
robot controller in a location not subject to vibrations.
I Atmosphere (gas etc.)
Do not install the robot controller in locations where conductive dust particles, hydro-
gen sulfide gas or sulfurous acid gas are present. Such an atmosphere may cause the
components to erode.
