Chapter 2 Installing the Monitor
• The enclosure must have sufficient space around air inlets and outlets to
provide the circulation necessary for cooling. Never let air passages
become obstructed.
• The surrounding air temperature must not exceed the maximum operating
temperature, either inside or outside of the enclosure. 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 surrounding air must not exceed specified limits. In
very dry environments, static charges build up readily. 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 product and
inhibits radio-frequency emissions that might interfere with other
equipment.
• When mounted, the product cannot be tilted more than 60° from vertical.
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 product can operate at a range of extremes. However, the life span of
any electronic device is shortened if you continuously operate the product
at its highest rated temperature.
ATTENTION: Industrial computers and monitors are not safety devices.
Follow standard safety practice and redundancy in the application of
this product.
