2.3 Environmental characteristics
2.3.1 Temperature specifications
Display units and link modules can be combined. The many different configurations possible result in varying
maximum ambient temperatures, which can be seen in the following table in this section.
Information:
The maximum specified ambient temperatures for operation were determined under worst-case condi-
tions. Experience has shown that higher ambient temperatures can be reached in typical applications,
e.g. those in Microsoft Windows. Testing and evaluation must be performed on-site by the user (tem-
peratures can be read in BIOS or with the B&R Control Center).

2.3.1.2 Minimum ambient temperature
The minimum ambient temperature is 0°C.
2.3.1.3 Ambient temperature for storage and transport
The following table provides an overview of the minimum and maximum ambient temperature for storing and
transporting the complete system. The use of individual components may result in limitations.

2.3.1.4 Temperature monitoring
A sensor in the display monitors the temperature of the AP9x3 display unit. The location of the temperature sensor
is illustrated in Figure 7 "Automation Panel 9x3 - Temperature sensor position" on page 22. The values listed
in Table 13 "Temperature sensor position" on page 22 represent the defined maximum temperature for this
measurement point. An alarm is not triggered if this temperature is exceeded. These temperatures can be read in
BIOS or approved Microsoft Windows operating systems via the B&R Control Center.
