CAUTION:
• Temperature: 10 – 32°C (50 – 89.6°F)(humidity to be 54% at 32°C, 89.6°F)
• Humidity: 15 – 80% (temperature to be 27°C, 80.6°F at 80%)
• A strong and level base.
• The machine must be level within 5mm, 0.2" both front to rear and left to
right.
• To avoid possible buildup of ozone, be sure to locate this machine in a large
well ventilated room that has an air turnover of more than 30 m
3
/hr/person.
Environments to avoid
• Locations exposed to direct sunlight or strong light (more than 1,500 lux).
• Locations directly exposed to cool air from an air conditioner or heated air
from a heater. (Sudden temperature changes might cause condensation with-
in the machine.)
• Locations close to such machines generating ammonia such as diazo copy
machines.
• Places where the machine might be subjected to frequent strong vibration.
• Dusty areas.
• Areas with corrosive gases.
•
Keep the equipment away from humidity and dust. Otherwise a fire or an
electric shock might occur.
•
Do not place the equipment on an unstable or tilted surface. If it topples
over, it could cause injury.
•
If you use the equipment in a confined space, make sure there is a continu-
ous air turnover.
