DEVICE INSTALLATION

The mounting bracket should use the rack or mount that is designated by the manufacturer. If the mounting bracket is not from the manufacturer, the bearing capacity should be ensured not less than 4 times its actual bearing weight. The bearing capacity of the support for bearing the mount should not be less than 4 times its actual bearing weight, and ensure the interactive monitor is stable.
The mounting surface for the interactive monitor should be firm with enough bearing capacity and should not be less than 4 times its actual bearing weight. When the mounting surface is the wall or rooftop of buildings, it must be solid brick, concrete, or another strong equivalent mounting surface. If the mounting surface is made of loose materials (old building brick wall, wood, solid brick wall…), metal or non-metal structures, or the decoration layer of the mounting surface is too thick, the strength of the surface is deficient and corresponding reinforcement and support measures should be taken to avoid a safety hazard.

• Step1. Install the holder on the back of IFPD

• Step2. Install the wall holder parts to the wall

• Step3. Hang the IFPD to the wall mount
  

Heat Dissipation

*Notes: when the monitor inlay wall or box, the vent area of bottom/flank/top sides should be no less than 50% of packing surface and air circulation needs to be kept well.
