Note
This equipment is certified by Underwriters Laboratories for operation in a maximum ambient temperature of 65°C. The product safety standard to which this unit is evaluated and certified, IEC 60950-1, and UL 60950-1 for the US and Canada, specifies a maximum temperature limit of 70°C on metal surfaces that may be touched. During operation, there is a slight temperature rise on the surfaces of the E20. Therefore, when installed into an ambient environment at 70°C, the surface temperatures on the E20 may exceed the limit of 70°C.
