Mounting multiple interactive flat panels
SMART recommends that you mount no more than three interactive flat panels side by side.
If you mount multiple interactive flat panels side by side, install them as shown in the following
diagram. This ensures the interactive flat panels’ cameras don’t interfere with each other.
Choosing a location
Consider the following when choosing a location for the interactive flat panel:
l
Do not install the interactive flat panel in a location where a door or gate could hit it.
l
Do not install the interactive flat panel in an area where it will be subjected to strong vibrations
or dust.
l
Choose a location that’s far from bright light sources, such as windows and strong overhead
lighting. Infrared (IR) lighting can cause issues with the performance of the cameras and can
lead to unintentional or missed touches.
l
Do not install the interactive flat panel near where the mains power supply enters the building.
l
Ensure adequate ventilation or provide air conditioning around the interactive flat panel so
that heat can flow away from the unit and the mounting equipment.
l
If you mount the interactive flat panel in a recessed area, leave at least 4" (10 cm) of space
between the interactive flat panel and the recessed walls to enable ventilation and cooling.
