Installation conditions
General ambient Operating – Temperature: +5 to +50  °C (*)
conditions conditions – Humidity: < 80 % R.H. (non condensing)

Transport/Storage – Temperature: -20 to +85  °C

conditions – Humidity: 10  –  95 % R.H. (non condensing)

Application Typical experienced ambient conditions in winding are between

conditions 20  °C to 38  °C and 50 % to 69 % R.H. This may vary depending
on the produced raw materials. Spinning conditions are usually
controlled by a suitable air-conditioning.

(*) Temperature for CCU7 openframe integrated: + 5 to + 60  °C
