General Installation Recommendations
Installation and mounting
1. Most of our products are intended for various methods of installation or mounting
(panel mounting, bracket mounting, ceiling/wall 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.Do not install the unit in a horizontal position (laying down), as this will cause heat to build up inside the display 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.Exposure to direct sunlight can cause a considerable increase in the temperature of the unit, and might under certain circumstances lead to overtemperature. This point should already be taken into consideration when the bridge equipment is being planned (sun shades, distance from the windows, ventilation, etc.)
5.Space necessary for ventilation, for cable inlets, for the operating procedures and for maintenance, must be provided.
6.To further improve the cooling of the unit we recommend installing Cooling Fans underneath blowing upwards into the unit air inlet. This may be required in high temperature applications and also when there is reason to expect temperature problems due to
7.If the push buttons of the product are not illuminated, an external, dimmable illumination
(IEC 60945, 6.5.c, e.g. Goose neck light is required for navigational use.
