Fig. 3: Handling Instructions
1. This product is intended for various methods of installation or mounting (panel
mounting, bracket mounting, ceiling/wall, console mounting etc.); for details, please see
the relevant mechanical drawings.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. To further improve the thermal situation we recommend to use forced air passing by the
product. In some cases, convection based cooling can create “heat zones” around the
product. 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.
5. Exposure to extreme direct sunlight can cause a considerable increase in
the temperature of the unit, and might under certain circumstances lead to
