3.11Control unit installation
Avoid mounting the control unit(s) where it is easily exposed to sunlight, as this will shorten the lifetime of the display. If this is not possible, make sure the units are always covered with the white protection cover when not used.
Caution ! Do not install the control unit where moisture at the rear can be present. It could cause damage by entering the breathing hole or by coming into contact with the electrical connectors.
