Outdoor Digital Signage – Fortification From The Elements.
How does this technology get protected throughout the toughest time of the year? Winter conjures up thoughts of last year with the heavy snow fall in the United kingdom that brought most of the roads to a gridlock, so imagine what this will do to delicate hardware.
An outside digital signage housing is the ideal solution, as you will read it has a solution for all the problems you come across during winter.
Chilly weather.
When the temperature outside plummets below zero, you have to question why digital signage is so efficient, surely no one is watching the adverts in this chilly weather? Nevertheless if the inside of the LCD enclosure hits zero, the monitor and media player or small factor PC will be in risk of failing, to thwart this the better designed outdoor digital signage enclosures are deployed with thermostatic heaters, these in fact work before it gets to zero, to prevent the next challenge.
Condensation.
With the heat from the monitor and computer in cold weather, this can generate condensation inside the housing, in spite of this a thermostatically controlled warmer eliminates this headache by heating the housing before moisture is made in the casing.
Insulation.
For extreme cold weather, thermally controlling padding is used, to preserve heat within the enclosure, whilst the cooling system gets rid of heat build up, ensuring the within of the enclosure is at the correct temperature.
Freezing locks.
What would happen if you send an engineer to site only to find after driving for 4 hours he cannot open the housing to access the technology for essential maintenance-Apart from wasting valuable time and money.
Some enclosure manufacturers supply their casings with weather shield’s, this keeps out dust and the snow, the worse potential incident we have heard of is someone putting super glue into the locks of the enclosure! This is removed with weatherproof shields.
So in preparation for Winter, take note of some of the would-be challenges you may stumble upon and look for an enclosure that has all of the above to reduce you wasting time trying to resolve problems that could have been prohibited.
Over the past 20 years the author has developed a range of outdoor digital signage protective enclosures and founded LCD Enclosure Global who are the leading manufacturer of LCD monitor enclosures, they also offer anti vandal LCD enclosures that provides all the protection and security needed for outdoor use.
