spaces) or placed on a table or shelf. When you install it, keep in
mind that heat is the major enemy of electronic equipment. Please
observe the following:
• The PEQ-450 is designed to perform properly over a range of
ambient temperatures from 10° C to +40° C (50° F to 104° F), in up
to 80% non-condensing humidity. These are not absolute limits,
but Alesis cannot guarantee that the PEQ-450 will meet its
published specs or remain reliable if operated outside of these
ranges.
to 80% non-condensing humidity. These are not absolute limits,
but Alesis cannot guarantee that the PEQ-450 will meet its
published specs or remain reliable if operated outside of these
ranges.
• Always allow adequate ventilation behind the PEQ-450. Do not
seal any enclosure that holds the PEQ-450. It is not necessary to
leave an empty rack space above or below the PEQ-450 unless it
runs hot enough to affect equipment above or below it. If your
environment is unusually warm and not air conditioned, space
between units will help the units run cooler.
