against the effects of dripping water when tilted up to 15°). The TSM1330C may be mounted either in
an indoor or outdoor location.
Adequate ventilation is a necessary prerequisite for the life of the product. The air inlet and outlet
openings must definitely be kept clear; coverings which restrict ventilation are not permissible.
Generally, do not install the unit in a horizontal position (laying down), as this will cause heat to build
up inside the unit which will damage the LCD Panel. To prevent this problem, we recommend
installing the unit in a vertical position (±30 degrees) to improve the airflow through the unit.
To further improve the cooling of the unit, we recommend installing Cooling Fans underneath blowing
upwards into the unit air inlet. 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.
Exposure to extreme direct sunlight 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.).
Space necessary for ventilation, for cable inlets, for the operating procedures and for maintenance,
must be provided.
Proper strain relieve should be installed on cables attached to the TSM1330C so that cable breaks
will not occur, e.g. during service work.
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.
Expose to heavy vibration and acoustic noise might under certain circumstances affect functionality
and expected lifetime. This must be considered during system assembly and installation. Mounting
position must carefully be selected to avoid any exposure of amplified vibration.

Mounting the TSM1330C
The TSM1330C has two mounting options, which include:
Wall/Panel mounting
Arm mounting (requires purchase of a VESA 75mm mounting arm)
2.3.1 Mounting Considerations
The useful life of the components of all Electronics Units generally decreases with increasing ambient
temperature; it is therefore advisable to install such units in air-conditioned rooms. If there are no
such facilities, these rooms must at least be dry, adequately ventilated and kept at a suitable
temperature in order to prevent the formation of condensation inside the display unit.
Since the TSM1330C is fanless, cooling takes place via the surface of the casing. The cooling must
not be impaired by partial covering of the unit or by installation of the unit in a confined cabinet.
