Wow, your gear is treated so nicely. The stuff I work on has to deal with anywhere between 0C and 80C while having the crap shaken out of it and occasionally being hit with a high pressure hose.

Different worlds...



OK, high pressure hose in a data centre piques my interest 8)

I stuck a camera on a stick at the southern boundary of my property, about three feet above the stream. The stream rose four feet for a while. I moved the camera.

Now, 0 to 80C. That is just plain odd. Here (southern UK) the temp range is something like -10 to +35C. Nowhere has 0-80C apart from a weird oven.


This is minesite automation stuff, so it usually lives in a stainless steel cabinet, ambient air temperature can be over 50C, sometimes sharing the space with high power switchgear. It's not unheard of for the inside of the cabinets to be over 70C if it's mounted in direct sunlight, so most gear is rated to 80C. Then at other times in the year it'll get down to freezing.
