Environment - Philips V24CT User's Reference Manual

Environ-
To ensure a completely safe electrical installation, follow the instructions
ment
described later in this section. The environment where the system will be
used should be reasonably free from vibration, dust, corrosive or
explosive gases, extremes of temperature, humidity, and so on.
For a cabinet mounted installation, allow sufficient room at the front for
operation and sufficient room at the rear for servicing with the cabinet
access door open.
Approximately 15 minutes after switch-on, the patient monitor and the
Anesthetic Gas Module operate within specifications at ambient
temperatures shown in the tables below. These specifications do not
apply to the plug-in modules; they are specified for different ambient
temperatures.
Ambient temperatures that exceed these limits could affect the accuracy
of these instruments and cause damage to the components and circuits.
Allow at least 2 inches (5cm) clearance around the instruments for proper
air circulation.
Refer to the tables below for a summary of the environmental
specifications of the different system combinations:
