2.1.1.2 Temperature and Humidity
Although the switch is designed to use 4 fans, the site should still maintain a desirable
temperature and humidity. High-humidity conditions can cause electrical resistance
degradation or even electric leakage, degradation of mechanical properties and corrosion
of internal components. Extreme low relative humidity may cause the insulation spacer to
contract, making the fastening screw insecure. Furthermore, in dry environments, static
electricity is liable to be produced and cause harm to internal circuits. Temperature
extremes can cause reduced reliability and premature aging of insulation materials, thus
reducing the switch’s working lifespan. In the hot summer, it is recommended to use
air-conditioners to cool down the site. And the cold winter, it is recommenced to use
heaters.
The recommended temperature and humidity is shown below:

Caution
A sample of ambient temperature and humidity should be taken at 1.5m above the floor
and 0.4m in front of the switch rack, with no protective panel covering the front and rear of
the rack.
Short term working conditions refer to a maximum of 48 hours of continued operation and
an annual cumulative total of less than 15 days. Formidable operation conditions refers to
the ambient temperature and relative humidity value that may occur during an
