ronment.
Physical Requirements
The location should meet the following requirements:
 Be away from cooling sources, heating sources, extreme temper-
ature changes, direct sunlight, excessive dust, and corrosive
chemicals or vapors.
 Be away from any strong electromagnetic field (such as that cre-
ated by an air conditioner) and excessive vibration.
 Have a temperature range of 41° F (5° C) to 95° F (35° C).

3
(25 meters

)
 Have room ventilation of at least 442 feet
3
/hour (12.5 meters
3
/
hour). This minimum ventilation rate, with the minimum room vol-
ume given above, holds ozone buildup within acceptable levels.

meters) or less for parallel communication, 25 feet (approximately
7.5 meters) or less for serial communication.
