Operating Conditions  

The thermal ratings specified are safe operating limits determined by various factors including

material properties, mechanical design, and the intended operating environment. Temperature

ratings for various mounting options may reduce the operating range of a window assembly.

All assemblies have a maximum thermal gradient of 25ºC per minute and may be damaged if

this limit is exceeded.
