Normal Use Thermal Guidelines

Normal use of the LCD module is 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. If the LCD module will be installed in a recessed area with an LCD
surround or enclosure, ensure adequate openings are applied for proper air flow and
ventilation.
At 3000 meters or below, the maximum ambient operating temperature for the LCD
module cannot be above 40º C nor below the minimum ambient operating
temperature of 0º C. If one of these conditions exists, 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 display within its nominal operating parameters.
Cooling Requirements
For optimal performance, active cooling by the installer should be planned for when
the ambient temperature anywhere in the wall is predicted to be above the specified
ambient temperature for the display.
Using the Display in Flat or Tilted Orientation
The Planar UltraRes is not recommended for use in flat orientation for tabletop, floor,
or ceiling installations. LCD panels of this size are at risk of panel deflection, which
can cause cosmetic sagging, brightness uniformity issues, a shortened life span, and
malfunction of optional touch sensors. Installations where the display is tilted
downward or upward at an angle may also be prone to these issues and are not
recommended.
