Prevent any dust exposure construction work near
the wall mounted display.
2.3.Countermeasures against dust
Dust
This product is designed for indoor use only.
When using it outdoor, or at dusty places, such as railway
station, take some countermeasures against dust.
Refer to the countermeasure below before installation.
Damages
Dust may get under the LCD panel from the gaps and it may
spoil the image (as below), and may cause failures.
Dust coming from under the LCD
panel damaged the image quality.
Countermeasure
Create a completely sealed casing.
It can shut off dust and enables installation in dusty places, outdoor,
and a place where salt damage might be occurred.
The temperature in the sealed casing would be higher.
Countermeasures against the heat are required, such as installing a
heat exchanger or an air conditioner.
*To maintain the quality of the casing, regular maintenance is needed.
Precautions for using anti-dust display
When using a display casing, mount an anti-dust air filter.
Precautions for Anti-dust air filter
- Double filter makes its life longer by replacing the finer screen pre-
filter.
- A filter increases the air resistance.
It may raise the internal temperature of the casing.
Reduce the air resistance by using larger filter.
- The following points should be taken care of in designing the casing
with intake/exhaust fan.
Intake fan:
The advantage: The casing inside is kept under positive pressure so
the dust is not drawn into.
The disadvantage: It is difficult to pull much air into the casing due to
the air resistance (when using in dusty place).
Exhaust fan:
The advantage: It is easy to control the temperature in the cabinet.
(when using in less dusty place and in severe temperature
environment).
The disadvantage: The casing inside is kept under negative pressure,
so the dust is drawn into through the vents and cracks.
*Filters must be cleaned frequently to keep good performance,

Pressure within cabinet will
be high, preventing dust from
entering through small gaps.
Pressure within cabinet will
be low, making dust drawn in

2.5.Reflected glare
Reflected Glare
◆Reflected glare may occur and may degrade visibility due to a guard panel.
◆The following two anti-glare screen protectors are effective to prevent the reflected glare.
-AR coating: reduces reflection and eliminates stray light.
-AG coating: reduces reflection with scattered reflected light.
◆The price of AG coating is lower than that of AR coating, however, images easily defocus and the view
angle is narrow in AG coating. Select the best screen protector for your purposes.
◆Generally, when decreasing glare, image quality comes down. Select the suitable protection panel in each
installing site.
◆The closer a distance from the protection panel to the LCD panel is, the more clear image you can get, but
temperature on the LCD surface rises if it’s too close.
◆Secure space (of 3cm at least) between protective panel (or glass) and the LCD surface to let the
air flow through between them so that temperature of the LCD surface won’t rise to 60℃or more.
When you use air flow fan, sufficient examination is needed before installation.

2.6.Precautions for dew condensation, water drops,
and salt damage
Dew condensation, water drops, and salt damage
-This display is designed for indoor use only. Avoid the direct sunlight, wind, or rain. These may cause failures and/or deterioration.
- Range of humidity condition for IDP: From 20% to 80% (no condensation)
- Dew condensation and/or liquid drops will cause the breakdown of the circuit and/or LCD panel.
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.
(e.g. When the radiator is turn on in a cold winter morning, condensation occurs in the place in front of the vents of radiators.)
Near the sea or lakes, where there is high humidity.
- The environment which has high possibility of liquid drops:
“Semi-outdoor” where strong winded-rain (typhoon) could potentially reach the display.
Below the pipes in the ceiling, when the pipes have leaking problems, drops of water may enter the display through the vents.
(When you install in these places, take some countermeasures such as covering the display with a box with a consideration of a
direction of the vents.)
- Precaution for wind (e.g. typhoon):
DO NOT set the display in the place where may be affected by wind.
- Precaution for salt water/salty breezes:
When installing close to sea, consult us for potential damage from salt water.
- Precaution for sulfur:
DO NOT set the display in the place where may be affected by sulfur(e.g. hot spring or volcano).
- Precaution for organic gas or flammable gas:
DO NOT set the display in the place where may be affected by organic gas or flammable gas.

2.7.Vibration/Afterglow/Expansion precautions
This display is not designed to set in any places with strong
vibrations, such as in motor vehicles.
If the display will be used in the place with possibility of even
small vibration, such as at railway station’s platform, take
some measures such as using a shock absorber .
Vibration
・When a still image is being displayed for a long period,
afterglow might occur.
It can be removed by playing videos or turning off the
display. The longer period of time a still image is being
displayed, the harder it is to remove afterglow. Change the
image occasionally.
Afterglow
When using acrylic or polycarbonate protection panel, be
aware of expansion due to heat or moisture absorption.
Acrylic protection panel can expand about 0.4%
(approx. 6.2 mm : 70”)
Install the protection panel with a space so that it won’t be
distorted due to expansion.
Expansion
・The followings are expected to prevent afterglow.
-Display video as long as possible. (e.g. display 10 seconds’
video after 5 minutes’ still image)
- Prevent increase of the contrast difference between
background and content. Change the color occasionally.
- Utilize functions to prevent afterglow as below;
[Screen Motion Function]
Prevent afterglow by moving the whole screen up and down,
and right and left.
Refer to the operation manual for the detailed operation method.
[Backlight Off Function]
Turn off the backlight and display the preventing afterglow
patterns in a power supply standby mode or signal standby
mode.
Ask SHARP Sales Department about the detailed operation method.

2.9.Connecting devices 1
You can control display functions by PC by connecting RS-232C or LAN. (e.g. power on/off function)
We recommend connecting RS-232C or LAN to displays before installing them in higher place or other
places where it is hard to connect cables after installation. They may need in future display maintenances.
-In analog connection, image quality might be influenced by a video board or cable.All displays requires
adjustment when installed. We recommend digital connection(e.g. HDMI, DVI, or DisplayPort connection)
for high quality images.
-When you use light conversion cable to extend the transmission distance, EDID may not be read
accurately. Not reading EDID accurately, displays cannot display correctly. Check the image quality
beforehand when using these devices.
Cable
When you use media devices (e.g. personal computer, DVD player) or peripheral equipment (e.g.
distributor, video switching unit), check the connection operation of the devices boforehand.
