Tools Needed for Assembly.

Installation Locations

Follow local codes for environmental requirements.

If installed in extremely hot locations, ensure ambient temperature does not exceed operating temperature of the display. Be aware that sun exposure times over 3 hours can elevate the display’s internal temperature by an additional 30°C over ambient temperature.

The end user/installer must note the potential for temperature-increase based on high thermal/solar load, which needs to be addressed with additional cooling measures. Please contact Peerless-AV for design consultation in such cases.

If installed in extremely cold locations, the end user/ installer must note the potential for temperature decrease based on environmental conditions and note that until display reaches operating temperature, display may experience performance lag.

Operating Parameters

Use this graph to estimate solar load and its effect on maximum safe ambient temperature for the display.

Kiosks will incur an additional 5°C minimum temperature rise with the disclamer that insufficent airflow, high surface area to volume ratio, additional internal electronics, and dark exterior colors will incur a higher temperature rise. Peerless-AV Engineering should be consulted in these situations.

Peerless-AV Engineering must be consulted before placing the display into any enclosure not developed by Peerless-AV. Peerless-AV Engineering management must approve this installation solution to support the native warranty of the display.

Display Orientation

Display can be oriented in landscape or portrait. Rotate display 90° clockwise to change to portrait orientation.
Rotate display 90° counterclockwise to switch back to landscape orientation. When in landscape orientation, the sensor window will be on the top left of the display. When in portrait orientation, the sensor window will be on the top right of the display.

Do not block the sensor window. If window is blocked, consult with Peerless-AV for proper IR extender (included with product) and ALS extender usage (sold separately).

Prepare the Display for Mounting

Install cords prior to mounting your display. Input panel may be obstructed once the display is mounted.
A mounting solution is sold separately. Contact your Peerless-AV representative for an outdoor rated mounting solution for your particular application.

For your safety, only install an outdoor-rated mount that is suitable for the application and supports the weight of the display. When mounting a display outdoors, use proper environmentally rated mounts to ensure longevity in harsh environments.

Examine the chart below to determine the mounting specifications for your display:

Removing Handles (Optional)

Landscape Mounting

Landscape oriented displays use a 400 x 400mm VESA mounting pattern.

Portrait Mounting

Portrait oriented displays can use either 400mm x 400mm VESA mounting patterns on the raised portion of the rear surface. Note, this may limit access to removable input cover. Installers can also use either a 600 x 600mm mounting pattern or the 600 x 850mm perimeter mounting locations.

Maximum Tilt

For portrait or landscape oriented displays, the maximum downward tilt is 15°. For other orientations, consult Peerless-AV.

Minimum Airflow Spacing

Consult Peerless-AV for minimum spacing when installing two or more adjacent displays. Note: These are minimum requirements. Internal heat sources due to additional equipment, external heat sources and high solar loads may require additional spacing and airflow. Please consult Peerless-AV for additional guidance.
