I want to run my miner in Turbo mode most of the time. Apart from it is beeing noisy at that mode, my appartment is quite warm during winter season. Is it OK if I operate the miner outdoors? Outside temperature during winter can range from 15 Degrees C to close to 0. We may have a few days below 0 in February. Humidity is below 80%.
I will locate the miner in my balcony and will fully protect it from any dust and rain.
up.
I sent an email to Futurebit Support on the subject 2 days ago, but still didn't get an answer.
My batting average for replies from FB support is 3-7 business days. They aren't impressing me.
And the switches are on back order (it took 2 emails and 7 days to get a response on this one), so I have no idea when my Apollo II will be running again.
I ordered another Apollo during the BF/CM sale. They said 6-10 days. Today is day 8, no notice of shipment yet.
They replied:
Hi the unit is only warrantied to run on an inside climate controlled environment.
Due to changes in humidity/snow/rain and moisture or heavy dust going into the unit can damage it and that is at your own risk.
I responded:
I have a Glass Balcony that protects the area from humidity, snow or rain.
Please share the specs for the environment that the unit must be operated:
1) Temperature: Min/Max/Rate of Change
2) Humidity: Min/Max/Rate of Change
3) Dust: Max
I want to additionally purchase x2 BTC Apollo II Standard Miners to connect to my Apollo II Full Node via USB to increase the hashpower.
I need to plan the environment and the layout of the units.
Is it true that an Apollo II Full Node can only accommodate 2 Apollo II Standard Miners?
Please advise.
I will share their response.
