Designed to start at an ambient down to -40°C; meet spec after ≅ 30 min warm up period, may not meet operational limits below -10°C.
7
The maximum operational ambient is reduced in Europe in order to meet certain power cord maximum ratings of 70°C. The maximum
operational ambient where 70°C rated power cords are utilized is reduced to 60°C until testing demonstrates that a higher level is acceptable.
