Fine tuning lighting after setup
Once you have a SUR40 you should use the Environment Lighting Optimizer tool found on the
device to fine tune lighting. It is a helpful utility that will provide immediate feedback about
the exact lighting conditions and help you make environmental adjustments when necessary
or if lighting conditions change.
A simple green, yellow, red indication system lets you know which part of the display is being
impacted by light. Using the four lighting considerations you should be able to optimize your
environment for a great experience that your customers will enjoy. For more information on
the Environmental Lighting Optimizer please see the Microsoft Surface 2.0 Administration
Guide.
Connections and electrical power
At a minimum, a SUR40 requires a connection to electrical power. Your applications might also
require a connection to a network or accessories.
Make sure that you have all the appropriate cables and connections available and conveniently
located so that you can route all the cables efficiently and safely around the SUR40 device.
NOTE
SUR40 includes a power cord, but it does not include any other connection cables.
Electrical power
SUR40 includes an AC power cord that is 300 cm / 118.1 in. Choose a location for your unit
that is close enough for this cord to plug in to an electrical outlet.
You must take appropriate precautions to avoid serious injury to people or damage to the
SUR40. These precautions include the following:
• Do not place the power cord in an area where it could become a tripping hazard or be
exposed to possible damage.
•
Use only the AC power cord that is included with a SUR40 to connect to the AC power
connector.
•
Do not use non-standard power sources, such as generators or inverters, even if the voltage
and frequency appear acceptable. Use only AC power that a standard wall outlet provides.
• Confirm that your electrical outlet provides the type of power that is required for the device.
If you are not sure of the type of power that is supplied to your venue, consult a qualified
electrician.
Electrical outlet placement
If you have the opportunity to configure the electrical outlet and other connections for
your site, consider the location carefully and consider a custom installation that provides all
connections that you need now or might want in the future.
The ideal electrical outlet for a SUR40 when the unit is deployed horizontally is a recessed
outlet in the floor immediately adjacent to the device.
