Temperature and Humidity Temperature and humidity, both in the print production and in the storage areas can affect the print output results. If not maintained within the recommended values, as shown below, they may have an adverse effect on the print quality and/or damage sensitive electronic devices in the system. Table 4-13 Temperature and Humidity Requirements Room Temperature Relative Humidity Print production area 17-30°C (63-86°F) 50-60% Rh Peripheral components area [see note] 17-30°C (63-86°F) 50-60% Rh Media storage area [see note] 10-40°C (50-104°F) 50-60% Rh Ink storage area 5-35°C (41-95°F) Exposure to temperatures above 50°C (122°F) should be avoided. ----- Notes Machine peripheral components (such as the UV cabinet, the unified cooler, and the vacuum pump) may be located in a room outside of the print production area, subject to the distance restrictions defined in Positioning Peripheral Components on page 25. The temperature and humidity requirements in this room are identical to those in the print production area. It is recommended that substrates remain in their sealed wrapping material when placed in storage. See Handling Substrates on page 41. The following factors should be considered and submitted to the air-conditioning engineer to assist in designing the climate control unit: • Room construction and layout • Heat dissipation produced by the heat emitting elements in the production room (see Heat Dissipation on page 42) • Number of people in the print production area • Air extraction from the production room by the ventilation and fume extraction hood (see Ventilation and Fume Extraction on page 45) Note In order not to interfere with the SICK safety device operation, the humidifiers in the production area should be positioned at least 10 m away from the Danger Zone (see Figure 4-3 on page 27). Caution Very low relative humidity increases the risk of damage to sensitive electronic devices caused by Electrostatic Discharges (ESD). Excessive humidity may also cause corrosion problems and moisture contamination within the equipment. 40 HP Scitex FB10000 Site Preparation Guide, Rev. 2
