Reasonable rate of change with noncondensing relative humidity during the
transition from warm to cold
Relative humidity: 10% to 80%, noncondensing
Altitude: 0 to 40,000 feet (0 to 12,192 meters)
Cooling Airflow Direction
Each enclosure includes its own forced-air cooling fans or blowers. Air flow for each
enclosure enters from the front of the modular cabinet and exhausts at the rear.

1. Operating and recommended ranges refer to the ambient air temperature and humidity measured 19.7 in.
(50 cm) from the front of the air intake cooling vents.
2. For each 1000 feet (305 m) increase in altitude above 10,000 feet (up to a maximum of 15,000 feet), subtract
1.5° F (0.83° C) from the upper limit of the operating and recommended temperature ranges.
