Normal Use Thermal Guidelines
Normal use of the LCD module and power supply module are 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 2000 meters or below, the maximum ambient operating temperature for the LCD
module cannot be above 104º F
(40º C) and 35º C for 80” portrait, nor below the
minimum ambient operating temperature of (32º F)
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 anywhere in the display is predicted to be above the
specified ambient temperature for the display.
Using the Display in Flat Orientation
The UltraLux is not recommended for use in flat orientation for tabletop, floor, or
ceiling installations. LCD panels of this size are at risk of panel deflection, which can
cause cosmetic sagging, brightness uniformity issues, and a shortened life span.
