Table 4. Temperature specifications When the system is in continuous operation (for altitude less than 950 m or 3117 ft), the temperature specification ranges 10°C–35°C (50–95°F) with no direct sunlight on the equipment. When the system is not in operation, the temperature specification is -40°C to 65°C (-40°F to149°F). For more information about fresh air, see the Expanded operating temperature section. The maximum temperature gradient for both operation and Non-operational systems is 20°C/h (36°F/h). Information about fresh air specification is described in the Expanded operating temperature section.
