Does anyone know what the official specs are for the operating temperature of the VSA-100? Say from a data-sheet!

I want to set up an automatic temperature control on my fans to keep the VSA-100's within operating temperature.

the cooler the better, all the way down to 0C.  below 0C even electronics can have some problems internally.  most ic's are operating temperature "speced" to between 0C and 50C with a "storage" temp from -40 to 90C etc....  the more stable and cooler the temp is kept (down to 0C), the longer the electronics will last.
