Installation Guidelines
Follow these guidelines to make sure your monitor provides safe and reliable
service:
• The installation site must have sufficient power.
• The enclosure must allow sufficient space around air inlets and outlets to
provide the circulation necessary for cooling. See
for further information. Never allow air passages
to become obstructed.
• The ambient air temperature must not exceed the maximum operating
temperature specified in
. Consider heat produced by
other devices in the enclosure. You may need a user-supplied fan, heat
exchanger, or air conditioner to meet this condition.
• The humidity of the ambient air must not exceed limits specified in
, and must avoid condensation.
• In dry environments, static charges build up easily. Proper grounding of the
equipment through the AC power cord helps to reduce static discharges,
which may cause shocks and damage electronic components.
• The enclosure or cover must remain in place at all times during operation.
The cover provides protection against high voltages inside the monitor
and inhibits radio-frequency emissions that might interfere with other
equipment.
• For VESA mounting, the installation must provide sufficient mechanical
stability to minimize the effects from vibration and shock. The mounting
means must be firmly attached to the supporting surface with the
appropriate hardware.
• When mounted, the monitor cannot be tilted more than 30° from vertical.
ATTENTION: To maintain an electrically safe installation, the AC
powered monitors must be plugged into a grounded outlet.
TIP
Hot air rises. The temperature at the top of the enclosure is often
higher than the temperature in other parts of the enclosure, especially
if air is not circulating.
IMPORTANT
The monitor can operate at a range of extremes. However, the life span
of any electronic device is shortened if you continuously operate the
monitor at its highest rated temperature.
