Site Requirements

Temperature/Humidity

°C

0°C

Keep the equipment room at an appropriate level of temperature and humidity. Too much or too

little humidity may lead to bad insulation, leakage of electricity, mechanical property changes,

and corrosion. High temperatures may accelerate aging of the insulation materials, significantly

shortening the service life of the device. To find out the best temperature and humidity conditions

for the device, check the following table.

Environment Temperature Humidity

Operating

0°C to 40°C

0°C to 50°C (for TL-SG1218MPE)

10% to 90%RH Non-condensing

Storage -40°C to 70°C 5% to 90%RH Non-condensing

Clearness

The dust accumulated on the switch can be absorbed by static electricity and result in poor contact

of metal contact points. Some measures have been taken for the device to prevent static electricity,

but too strong static electricity can cause deadly damage to the electronic elements on the internal

circuit board. To avoid the effect of static electricity on the operation of the switch, attach much

importance to the following items:

■

Dust the device regularly, and keep the indoor air clean.

■

Keep the device well grounded and ensure that the static electricity has been transferred.

Electromagnetic Interference

Electronic elements including capacitance and inductance on the device can be affected by external

interferences, such as conducted emission by capacitance coupling, inductance coupling, and

impedance coupling. To decrease the interferences, make sure to take the following measures:

■

Use the power supply that can effectively filter interference from the power grid.

■

Keep the device far from high-frequency and strong-current devices such as radio transmitting

station.

■

Use electromagnetic shielding when necessary.
