Unit placement
As you prepare your venue for a SUR40 unit, you should choose an indoor area that provides
the best experience for people and enables the unit to operate safely and reliably.
The area should meet the following qualifications:
• Provides enough room for people to comfortably interact with the SUR40 on all sides. For
more information, see the Space section.
• Includes indirect lighting and avoids direct light, that does not cause glare, reflection, or
interferes with the SUR40 display. For more information, see the following Lighting section.
•
Is near electrical outlets and other connections (such as network) that you need.
For more information, see the following Connections and electrical power section.
• Keeps cables out of the way of people and correctly routes cables through and around the
unit.
Space
The SUR40 location must provide enough space for the unit and for people. You should
address the following questions:
•
Will the area accommodate the size of the SUR40?
• Will people be able to approach the unit from all four sides? Will people be able to approach
the unit from the front and stand side-by-side if vertically mounted?
•
Will people have enough space to interact with the unit from any point around the display
without impeding nearby traffic flow when horizontally mounted?
• Will the SUR40 be at the right height for people to use when vertically mounted?
NOTE
You must not place a SUR40 near, or over, any heat sources such as radiators, heat ducts,
registers, stoves, or heating appliances.
Space for people around the SUR40
Make sure that the space around a SUR40 is large enough so that people can comfortably
interact with the display on all four sides, when horizontal, or in front of the unit, when
vertical.
Many people approach a horizontal SUR40 unit in groups of two or more. You should provide
enough space for more than one person to approach and use the device. If you want to
provide seating, you should also choose a location that has enough space for the SUR40 and
the seats (if you are using them) without impeding the normal flow of people traffic. (For more
information about seating, see the Seating section later in this guide.) People can interact with
horizontal SUR40 units from any side equally, so you should provide enough space for people
to walk completely around the unit.
Whether horizontal or vertical, other people might also want to watch people interact with the
Surface experience, so we recommend that you provide space for onlookers to watch people
interact with the unit.
