5.3.4. Outdoors
The unit is not designed to operate continuously outdoors. It needs to be located in a
shelter of some form.
Whilst the unit is IP65 rated (water proof), it is not designed to be installed on the deck of
a ship, with water constantly flowing over it.
5.3.5. Vibration
The monitor has been designed to withstand continuous low-amplitude vibration, such as
that found in cars and trucks. It can also withstand high levels of shock.
5.4. Mounting
The monitor is designed to be mounted via a standard 75mm VESA bracket. This allows
use of a wide variety of standard mounting brackets, as well as simple and robust
attachment to custom brackets. Dimensioned drawings are located in Appendix B.
When fitted in the passenger compartment of a vehicle, consideration needs to be given to
the local laws. Some things to consider are:
•
Obstruction of drivers viewing area.
•
Driver and passenger safety, in case the vehicle is involved in an accident. This
includes considering obstruction of air bags.
•
Robust mounting. Even though the monitor is light, the forces involved during an
accident, or during rapid acceleration or deceleration can be significant.
•
Interference to the driver whilst the vehicle is in operation.
•
Don’t mount in direct sun, if possible. This is to keep the temperature inside the
monitor low. Direct sunlight on the monitor will heat the inside of the monitor.
Note
Fitting a monitor in the passenger/driver area in a vehicle (particularly a car)
normally needs to comply with various regulations, and may need to be approved
by a regulatory body.
Each country, and often each state, have their own regulatory requirements.
Make sure you check these before installing the monitor.
