The operating temperature is the range of ambient temperature within which a power supply, or any other electrical equipment, operate in. This ranges from a minimum operating temperature, to a peak or maximum operating temperature, outside which, the power supply may fail.

Ingress Protection rating (or just IP rating), is an international standard (IEC 60529) used to rate the degree of protection or sealing effectiveness in electrical enclosures against intrusion of objects, water, dust or accidental contact. It corresponds to the European standard EN 60529.

A nautical unit of measure equal to one tenth of a nautical mile or approximately 1 fathoms.

the time taken for a circuit or measuring device, when subjected to a change in input signal, to change its state by a specified fraction of its total response to that change.

It is the sensing range for which the sensor can stably detect the standard sensing object even if there is an ambient temperature drift and/or supply voltage fluctuation. (Normally, it is 70 to 80 % of the maximum operation distance.)

the systematic way of connecting the Power Plant (units) to the power grid.

an optical transmitter that is paired with an optical receiver, both of which are connected to electrically based devices or systems.
