4.1 Mounting requirements
The device is designed for use in the field.
Its orientation is determined by the readability of the display.
Operating temperature range:
• –40 to +80 °C (–40 to +176 °F)
• –20 to +80 °C (–4 to +176 °F) when the Open Collector output is used
Operating the device in the upper temperature limit range reduces the operating life
of the display.
The display may respond slowly at temperatures < –20 °C (–4 °F).
Readability of the display can no longer be guaranteed at temperatures
< –30 °C (–22 °F).
