9) Temperature and humidity conditions
• The installation site should meet the following conditions:
• Operating temperatures: 0 to 40 °C (largely depending on installation conditions)
• Operating humidity: 20 to 80%
• Storage temperature: –10 to +45 °C
• Storage humidity: 20 to 90%
• Operating atmospheric pressure: 0.9 to 1.1 atm
• Storage atmospheric pressure: 0.6 to 1.5 atm
• We recommend against installing electronic products such as this unit in locations subject to high humidity. If the unit
is to be installed in a location subject to relatively high humidity, observe the following:
• Never install the unit in locations that fail to meet the conditions specified above
• Make sure the unit is grounded
• Prevent condensation
• Do not allow water or liquids to enter the unit
10) Beware of condensation
One of the chief problem sources during winter is condensation. Rapid temperature fluctuations can deposit airborne
water vapor inside the unit or on the screen, degrading performance. If condensation occurs, turn the unit off and leave
it off for one hour or so. It is also good practice to increase room temperature gradually.
11) Power requirements
• This unit functions properly when powered at ±10% of its rated voltage. High impedance characteristics of lines at
the installation site may distort the voltage output wave form, effectively reducing voltage. If any of the following
occurs, inspect the main wiring.
• Significant voltage drop between the switchboard and the plasma display
• Significant changes in voltage when switching unit power on or off
• When calculating heat quantity, allow for 600 VA of consumption per unit
• The in-rush current upon powering up will be approximately 25 A
12) Effectire remote-control distance
This display emits weak infrared radiation. If other products controlled with infrared remote controls are placed nearby,
remote control function may be affected. In such cases, move them away from the display.
Depending on installation conditions, the range of the unit's own remote control may be reduced by infrared emitted by
the screen.
The screen's infrared intensity will vary, depending on the image displayed.
