Environmental Specifications for Kaleidescape s Engineering Bulletin Temperature This document provides environmental specifications and guidance for designing proper cooling for Kaleidescape component installations. For more best practices in designing rack enclosure cooling for A/V components, refer to the white paper, A/V Installation Cooling. The maximum air intake temperature for Kaleidescape components is specified in the table below. Note that if a system is installed in a rack enclosure, and the system includes Strato/Alto/Terra, then the maximum air intake temperature for the rack enclosure is. The minimum air intake temperature for all Kaleidescape components is 41 F (5 C). Measure ambient air temperature within 1in. (2.5cm) of the front of the component, and at any rack enclosure air intake vents.

Maximum air intake temperature Legacy s Movie Player (KPLAYER-2000, KPLAYER-2500) Speed Reader (KSPEEDREADER, KSPEEDREADER-2) Some Kaleidescape components can be installed in a vertical orientation, and the maximum intake air temperature decreases for some components when mounted vertically. Refer to the Engineering Bulletin, Vertical Mounting of Kaleidescape s. The storage temperature range for all Kaleidescape components is 4 F to 140 C (-20 C to 60 C). Relative Humidity The operating relative humidity range (non-condensing) for all Kaleidescape components is 20% to 80%; the range is 5% to 90% for storage. Maximum Operating Altitude All Kaleidescape components have a maximum operating altitude of 10,000ft (3000m). Heat Output The table below specifies maximum heat output for Kaleidescape components. These specifications can be used in combination with the room temperature to Kaleidescape Part No. 101-0097-00 Rev 10 Page 2 of 5

Airflow The table below specifies maximum airflow generated by internal fans in Kaleidescape components. An installation enclosure must allow the specified airflow to easily escape the enclosure through the enclosure s exhaust fans or external vents. Use the airflow in the table to determine the minimum exhaust airflow capacity in an installation enclosure.

Verify proper clearance for ventilation. The rack or other enclosure doors must not reduce the air space around the component below the specified clearance. Kaleidescape Part No. 101-0097-00 Rev 10 Page 4 of 5
Maintain 2in. (5cm) clearance in back. Maintain 1in. (2.5cm) clearance in front and on sides. Maintain proper airflow path for ventilation. Verify adequate cool air intake at front and bottom of component. Verify hot air exhaust at back and top of component. Verify intake and exhaust vents are not obstructed by dust or particles. The component front panel filters and traps coarse dust and particles. Exhaust vents also accumulate dust. Vents clogged with dust can lead to temperature increase and possible damage. If the component is not installed in an enclosure, the front panel and rear vents should be inspected every 4 months and cleaned if necessary to provide adequate airflow. Refer to the Engineering Bulletins, Server Cleaning Procedures and Player Cleaning Procedures, for detailed cleaning instructions. Do not operate the component in a dusty environment. In case of sanding or other temporary dust source, turn off the component until the dust source is removed. If the internal surfaces of a component become coated with dust, the component will require servicing by Kaleidescape. The figure below shows proper ventilation and airflow for components in a rack enclosure. The rack enclosure has a cool air intake at the bottom front and a hot air exhaust at the top. Hot air exhaust at top 1in. (2.5cm) minimum clearance in front and sides 2in. (5cm) minimum clearance in back Cool air intake at front bottom Kaleidescape Part No. 101-0097-00 Rev 10 Page 5 of 5
