3.4 Normal Usage Guidelines
Normal use of the LCD 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. 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 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 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.
4. VESA Mounts, General Description
VESA mounts are used to secure the Planar EP Series for display. The display can be installed
using a variety of VESA mounts available through Planar. If you do not have a VESA mount and
would like to purchase one, contact Planar.
If you purchased a VESA mount, you should have a received a separate box with mounting
supplies and an Installation manual. Follow these instructions carefully.
Keep in mind the following general installation guidelines:
• Screw length is crucial and will vary depending on the type of mount you use. Total screw
length will include the penetration length plus the length required by the type of VESA
mount in use.
• Mount spacers may be required to accommodate the protruding back panel of the OPS
slot.
Caution: Shorter screws will result in insufficient mounting strength and longer screws could
puncture parts inside the display.
• Prior to installation, make sure you know where all of the mounting points are located.
• Follow all safety precautions outlined in the VESA Installation manual.
• Verify the parts received with the list shown in the VESA Installation manual.
