Cleanliness
Dust is a hazard to the operating safety of your device. The dust accumulated on the chassis can cause
electrostatic adsorption, one of the sources that cause the poor contact of connectors or metal contact
points. This not only shortens the service life of your device but also causes communications failures.
When the indoor relative humidity is low, electrostatic adsorption is more likely to happen.
The equipment room must be free of explosion hazards and the electric and magnetic conductible dust as
well. The contents of the dust must be limited to the values shown in Table 2-2.

Besides the dust, there are rigorous limits on the harmful gases that can accelerate the erosion and aging
of metals, such as salts, acids, and sulfides. Equipment room should prevent from harmful gases such as
