The printed circuit board (PCB) automatically manages the on-off commands for an
enclosures air curtains and fans, heaters, and media off switch. To reconfigure the controller
board, you’ll need the setup kit which is provided by Armagard as an optional extra.
All controller boards are automatically set-up with default temperatures (below), if you want
to change these settings then follow the below instructions.
Defaults: Fans on @25°C, Heaters @10°C, Media off (high) @42°C and (low) @0°C
Defaults: Fans on @77°F, Heaters @50°F, Media off (high) @107.6°F and (low) @32°F
NOTE: Not all units are equipped with a controller board. If your unit is not equipped with a
controller board, then it will use automatic thermostats instead. Details on how to use the
thermostat are found in the maintenance section (Pg14).
Kit Needed:
Armagard USB Cable
Armagard USB Drivers
Windows 7 Laptop
Phillips Screwdriver
Directions:
1. Locate your Armagard USB cable and terminal software, and have them placed to
one side.
2. To configure the PCB you’ll need a computer (ideally a laptop) which will be close
enough for the USB cable to reach.
3. Place the terminal software on your computer, if you’re running a Windows 7
computer then the drivers should be automatically installed. If not, then install the
CP210x drivers and select the appropriate 32bit or 64 bit driver. Make note of the
‘Terminal’ icon which we’ll come back to later.
4. Once the drivers are installed, you then need to locate the controller board within
your enclosure (figure 1). NOTE: Make sure the enclosures power is switched off and
unplugged before removing the cover to avoid a risk of an electric shock.

To ensure your unit lasts as long as possible, take the following precautions.
Fan Filters –Every 6 months check and replace used fan filter pads and clean bug
screens if necessary.
oReplacement Filters are available in packs of 3
Check Enclosure Integrity –In an outside environment, make sure the enclosure and
its mounting bracket haven’t been damaged or moved.
THERMOSTAT CONTROL INSTRUCTIONS –To access enclosure thermostats firstly unlock
the enclosure (fixing the support arms), remove the display and manually adjust the thermostat dials.
Repeat process until fully optimised for your environment.
We recommend 25°C/77°F for cooling and 10°C/50°F for heating.
Simply turn the thermostat dial to the temperature you wish the component to turn on
at –it the fans are set to 40°C, the fans will activate once the internal temperate
reaches this heat, and then deactivate when the temperature recedes to a lower
temperature.
Be aware, these temperatures are just suggestion and the individual must take into
account all environmental factors before setting the thermostat. In addition the heat
given off by the LCD display will depend on whatever the customer chooses.
FAN MAINTENANCE & INTEGRITY
Check Enclosure Integrity –In an outside
environment, make sure the enclosure and its
mounting bracket haven’t been damaged or moved
by adverse weather conditions.
Screws & Padlock –Check the safety screws are
tight and padlock if the locking bar is secure and
not been tampered with.
To ensure your unit lasts as long as possible, take the following precautions.

Screen Cleaning –Polycarbonate and Anti-Reflective Polycarbonate
In order to maintain your polycarbonate in a good condition it is recommended that the sheet be
cleaned periodically using suitable household cleaning agents.
The recommended cleaning instructions are as follows:
Use lukewarm water to rinse and soften dirt.
Make up a solution of lukewarm water and ordinary household cleaner or mild soap and use this
to wash the sheet.
A sponge or soft cloth should then be used to gently remove dirt and grime and for large areas a
pressure washer may be used in a suitable outdoor area.
Ethyl alcohol or white kerosene used sparingly can be used to remove paint and other such
substances.
The cleaning process should then be repeated and the sheet rinsed with clean water and dried
with a soft cloth.
Warning - The following precautions should be observed:
Do not scrub the sheet with brushes or sharp implements.
Do not use squeegees.
Avoid solvents, other than those listed, or any abrasive cleaners.
Avoid cleaners of a highly alkaline composition.
Avoid cleaning in the hot sun or high temperatures.
SCREEN CLEANING –GLASS DISPLAY
For high toughed glass and anti-reflective glass.
Procedure 1
1. On a mild temperature day, use hot soapy water and wash down the glass to eliminate all traces
of debris and marks.
2. When the window has been washed, rinse it thoroughly and using a clean cloth, dry the screen to
eliminate streaks and blemishes.
3. Alternatively you can use a glass cleaner detergent to get it thoroughly clean.
4. Note: Make sure you work as quickly as possible to avoid streaks appearing during the process.
BEST PRACTICE USE & WARRANTY
1. Mount the enclosure using the recommended brackets to ensure integrity. Do not drill or penetrate
any additional holes into the enclosure for mounting, as breaking the surface will reduce the ingress
rating, and void the warranty agreement.
2. Do not block air vents around the enclosure, obstructions to air circulation will cause overheating and
void the warranty agreement.
3. Do not use enclosures in environments or sheltered areas where the average ambient temperature is
higher than the operating temperature of your display without an air-conditioning module.
