Recommended Usage
Normal Use Thermal Guidelines
Normal use of the LCD module is 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. 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 3000 meters or below, the maximum ambient operating temperature for the LCD module cannot be above 40º C nor below the minimum ambient operating temperature of 10º 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 wall is predicted to be above the specified ambient temperature for the display.
