3.2 Environmental Specifications
It is important to protect the 5820XL control panel from water. To prevent water damage, the
following conditions should be AVOIDED when installing the units:

machinery)
When selecting a location to mount the 5820XL control panel, the unit should be mounted
where it will NOT be exposed to temperatures outside the range of 0°C-49°C (32°F-120°F) or
humidity not exceeding 93% noncondensing.
