This environment error suggests operation in an excessively cold environment, which might affect component performance, material properties, or lead to condensation issues if cold-soaked.

Common Causes

  • Operating environment temperature is below the minimum specified range.
  • Device is located in an unheated or excessively cold area.
  • Cold ambient conditions affecting component performance.
  • Incorrect thermostat settings for climate-controlled enclosure.
