We recommend taking the following precautions to minimize heat build-up within the display:
•Position the display within ±40° of the vertical
•If (a) the display is not positioned within ±40° of the vertical, (b) the ambient temperature exceeds 25°C,
or (c) the display is used in a location with minimal ventilation, then install an external fan to increase
airflow upwards through the chassis
Important Safety Precaution:
Even though the display is rated to operate within the IEC 60945standard of -15 to 55°C for bridge applications,
it is best to ensure that the ambient temperature does not exceed 25°C. Doing so will significantly increase the
lifespan of your display and reduce service costs.
