General Installation Recommendations

Installation and mounting

1. Most of our units are intended for various methods of installation or mounting
(panel mounting, bracket mounting, ceiling/wall mounting etc.); for details, please see the relevant
mechanical drawings.
2. Adequate ventilation is a necessary prerequisite for the life of the
unit. The ventilation apertures (red/gray area shown in the
illustration to the right) must definitely be kept clear.
The Series 2 units was designed to be fan less, and covering
up the ventilation apertures (shown in closeup chassis below)
is not permissable, doing so can lead to overheating and could
damage the unit.
Suggested and a safe minimum air distance between the
ventilation apertures and other panels near the unit should be
5cm. However, this can be lower or higher depending on the
installation space and design. If in question, please contact
your local installation technican or qualified personnell for
advise!
3. Generally, do not install the unit in a horizontal position
(laying down), as this will cause heat to build up inside the
display which will damage the LCD Panel. To prevent this problem we recommend installing the
unit in a vertical position (±40 degrees) to improve the airflow through the unit.
4. To further improve the cooling of the unit we recommend installing Cooling Fans underneath
blowing upwards going past the ventilation apertures. This may be required in high temperature
applications and also when there is reason to expect temperature problems due to non-optimal
way of mounting.
5. Exposure to extreme direct sunlight condition over longer periods can cause a considerable
increase in the temperature of the unit, and might under certain circumstances lead to
overtemperature. This point should already be taken into consideration when the bridge
equipment is being planned (sun shades, distance from the windows, ventilation, etc.)
6. Space necessary for ventilation, for cable inlets, for the operating procedures and for
maintenance, must be provided.
7. Information about necessary pull-relievers for cables is given in the installation drawings.
Attention must be paid to this information so that cable breaks will not occur, e.g. during service
work.
8. Do not paint the product. The surface treatment influences on the excess heat transfer.
Painting, labels or other surface treatments that differ from the factory default, might cause
overheating.
