3.1 Installation Site Requirements
If the site requires modifications or special preparations before installing the Plasma Display or its mounting hardware,
obtain permission in advance from the building owner or building authorities. To ensure safety, it is also important to
determine the strength of the installation site with the help of an authorized building contractor.
Safety Precautions
1) Structure of the installation site
Thoroughly study the structure of the installation site before determining the most suitable installation method.
Buildings vary in structure and materials, thus the best mounting choice differs at each location. When drilling into
walls, check for internal electrical wiring and hidden pipes.
2) Weight capacity of the installation site
Select a location sufficient to support the total weight of the display and mounting hardware.
3) Flat, level surfaces
Select a flat, level surface so that the mounting hardware is parallel to the proposed mounting surface.
Install the unit so that the load is evenly distributed along the ceiling or floor, as well as on mounting hardware such as
from hang bolts.
4) Sufficient work space
Select a location with sufficient space for installation preperations. The panel mounting should be conducted by two or
more people.
5) Nearby equipment
If air conditioning ducts, lamps, etc. are located near the installation site, dust, temperatures fluctuations, humidity, and
condensation may cause problems. Please take steps to avoid this possibility.
6) Safe locations
Do not install the unit where it may be easily touched or leaned against. Avoid locations subject to high vibration or
severe impacts.
7) Lighting conditions
• Check existing lighting and sunlight angles when considering an installation layout. Bright lighting can reduce the
visibility and quality of a displayed image.
• In very bright surroundings, adjusting screen intensity may not result in perceptibly brighter images. Extreme intensity
settings can reduce a system’s service life.
8) Other installation conditions
The panel is designed for indoor use and is not suited for open-air use. Installation in locations that are even partially
exposed to the elements may lead to malfunctions or breakdown. If there is a danger of being subjected to the conditions
listed below, it is necessary to limit the exposure as much as possible.
• Water or other liquids and dust
• Temperature and humidity changes
• Salt-bearing wind
• Direct sunlight (avoid sites exposed to direct sunlight upon the display as this can degrade image quality)
