Normal Use Thermal Guidelines

Normal use of the LCD module, Quad controller module 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 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 2000 meters or below, the maximum ambient operating temperature for the LCD
module cannot be above 35º C nor below the minimum ambient operating
temperature of 0º C. For the Quad controller module and power supply module, the
maximum ambient operating temperature cannot be above 45º 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 at the top 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.
