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
Mounting Clearances on page 7 . Never allow air
passages to become obstructed.
•
The
ambient air temperature must not exceed the maximum operating temperature.
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 specified limits. In very dry
environments, static charges build up readily. Proper grounding of the monitor 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 using the appropriate hardware.
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.
