14.2.2 Use in high ambient temperatures
CAUTION
Since the Tempus is rated for use in high ambient temperatures, users are reminded to give
consideration to the potential for outer surfaces of the Tempus to become hot in such
ambient temperatures. Further to Table 23 of IEC60601-1:2005, plastic parts (such as the
sides, touchscreen, handle etc.) which may be acceptable for long term physical contact at
ambient temperatures up to 48C need to be touched for shorter durations (e.g. less than 1
minute) when used in higher ambient temperatures. Similarly, users should note that while
the rear heat sink may be touched permanently in ambient temperatures up to 36C, in
higher ambient temperatures contact with it should be reduced. Users should pay attention
to this if instead of using the handle, they grip the device around its sides.
Note
In ambient temperatures above 40 C users should ensure that the device is used in an
upright position and that there is air flow around the back of the unit.
Note
Users are reminded that the Tempus (when using its external power supply) should not be
used to recharge batteries above 40C – see “14.2 Physical characteristics and
environmental specifications”.
Note
Users are reminded that the specification of the power supply limits its use to 40C
maximum – see “14.3 Miscellaneous features and specifications”.
