Normal Use Thermal Guidelines - Planar Clarity Matrix G3 Installation Manual

Normal Use Thermal Guidelines

Normal use of the LCD display, video controller and power supply module are
defined as operating in the open air to prevent heat buildup, and without direct or
indirect heat sources such as lighting fixtures, heating ducts, or direct sunlight that
can cause the modules to experience high operating temperatures. For all modules,
do not block fans or ventilation openings. If the LCD display will be installed in a
recessed area with an LCD surround or enclosed system, ensure adequate openings
are applied for proper air flow and ventilation.
At 2000 meters or below, the maximum ambient operating temperature for the LCD
display may not exceed 35° C/95° F (95° F) nor be below the minimum ambient
operating temperature of 5° C/41° F (41° F) (as measured at the surface of the screen).
For the video controller and power supply module, the maximum ambient operating
temperature may not exceed 40° C (104° F) nor be below the minimum ambient
operating temperature of -10° C/14° F (14° F). If one of these conditions is exceeded,
it is up to the installer to ensure that module placement is changed, thermal
shielding is provided, and/or additional ventilation is provided to keep the system
within its nominal operating parameters. (See "Environmental Specifications" on
page 155.)
Cooling Requirements
For optimal performance, active cooling by the installer should be planned for when
the ambient temperature of the wall is predicted to be above the specified ambient
temperature for the panel. Cooling may be done behind the displays and depending
on the wall configuration, it may be helpful to place air ducts (AC) at every third
display tall.
