Counter-Measure against dust in

It is necessary to take measures against dust such as regular cleaning of fan and vent in a dusty area.
About dust
Precautions for Dust
Fundamentally, LCD monitor is designed for indoor usage.
When it is being used outdoor, or at dusty places, such as
railway station or close to the traffic, the solutions against dust
must be considered.
If the anti-dust solutions are not being considered -->
The dust will enter into the LCD panel through the gaps and
will cause the distorted image (see example below), and will
break down in the end.
In general, a fan causes dust to enter inside, which
eventually will cause the unit to breakdown. This monitor,
however, reduces dust to entering inside by allowing air
to flow through a duct. This remedies the disadvantages
of fan operation (such as clogging of dust in the display)

Precautions for dew condensation, water drops, and salt damage
- Humidity condition for IDP
Range of humidity condition for IDP: From 20% to 80% (no condensation)
- This monitor is indoor use only. Please set this monitor to avoid the direct sunlight, wind, or rain. These may cause
failure and/or deterioration.
- Dew condensation and/ or liquid drops will cause the breakdown of the circuit and/or LCD panel.
Please install LCD away from condensation and liquid drops.
- The environment which has high possibility of condensation
The place where temperature is generally low but has frequent warm air flow.
(Example: the place in front of the vents of radiators. When the radiator is turn on in a cold winter morning, condensation
occurs.)
Near near the sea or lakes, where there is high humidity.
- The environment which has high possibility of liquid drops
“Semi-outdoor” place where strong winded-rain (typhoon) could potentially reach the monitor.
The place which is below the pipes inside the ceiling. When the pipes have leaking problems, there is a possibility for water
drops to enter the monitor through the vents.
(When installing in these places, countermeasures should be taken to avoid water drops to reach the monitors. For example,
covering the LCD monitor with box. In such a case, consideration should be given for direction of vent.)
- Damage from wind such as typhoon
Do NOT set the monitor in the place where may be affected by wind.
- Damage from salt water/ salty breezes
When installing close to sea, consult us for potentiality of damage from salt water.

About vibration
About residual images
Precautions for vibration and residual images
-This information display is not designed for the usage in any places which have strong vibrations, such as inside motor
vehicles.
- If the monitors will be used in the place which has the possibility of even small vibration like railway station’s platform,
shock absorber must be considered.
- When a still image is being displayed for a long period, image retention might occur.
- Image retention can be removed by displaying motion images or turning off the monitor. However, the longer the
still image is being displayed, the harder to remove the image retention, therefore, the solutions mentioned above
should be taken periodically.

If the gap between displays spoils the appearance (e.g. back of
the display can been seen through), please hide it by affixing
black tape at the rear.
Note: Do NOT seal the “exhalation fan and intake-nozzle” by
black tape.
Recommended width of the tape is 16mm. If you use the tape
whose width is 19mm, please do not cover engine grille.
Please attach the tape before connecting cables.
It is necessary to check the tape periodically to make sure that
the tape isn’t detached from the display as time goes by.
Black tape etc.
Monitor
Hiding the gap between the bezels
Note: If the space between displays is small, the monitor can’t clearly display images. Because the weight is
loaded to LCD panel by heat expansion, it may cause a white spot. Spacing installation device
Precautions for space between displays
•Considering thermal expansion, please reserve enough space when installing.
Requirement for minimum space can be calculated as follows:
Space for long-side length = (Maximum surrounding temperature under operation - surrounding temperature when installed
+20)x 0.016 (mm) or more
Space for short-side length = (Maximum surrounding temperature under operation - surrounding temperature when installed + 20)
x 0.009 (mm) or more
For example, when installing at environmental temperature at 20 degrees, and its maximum peripheral temperature goes up to 40
degrees, space required for long-side length is 0.64 mm or more and short-side, 0.36 mm or more.
•Space installment device (For 1mm) is provided as option, thus please utilize this if necessary. When aligning displays together, please
install this spacer device between the displays and take this out after displays are set firmly.
