Temperature Control
The IDS monitor contain a temperature sensor that provides the user with real-time
temperature readings. This reading can be found on the OSD menu by opening the OSD menu:
Information ► System Temperature. If the monitor senses temperatures higher than the
operating range, the monitor will go into "Thermal Protection Mode." This mode allows the
monitor to remain operational during brief periods of use outside of its operating range.
In Thermal Protection Mode, the monitor will reduce the backlight brightness to bring the
internal temperature back within operating range. While in this mode, brightness cannot be
increased beyond the set value. If the internal temperature decreases below the Thermal
Protection Mode temperature for at least five minutes, normal operation is resumed. The OSD
temperature at which the monitor will enter the Thermal Protection Mode is in the table below.
When the Thermal Protection Mode is enabled, the following icon will appear in the Main Menu.
This will indicate that the Thermal Protection Mode is active.
The user will be prompted to shut off the monitor within sixty seconds if the temperature
continues to rise after Thermal Protection Mode Step 2 has been enabled. If the system is not
manually turned off in sixty seconds, the touchmonitor will automatically turn off to prevent
permanent damage to the monitor. The table below shows the Auto Shut Off temperature.
