Operating Conditions
Installation Environment Guidelines
When selecting and preparing the installation site, keep the following requirements in mind:- Ensure adequate ventilation — maintain sufficient clearance around the totem so that heat can dissipate freely and airflow is not obstructed.
- Avoid direct sunlight exposure — for indoor models, prolonged direct sunlight can cause overheating and accelerate display degradation.
- Do not install in places with excessive humidity — moisture ingress can damage internal electronics and reduce the lifespan of the unit.
- Keep distance from heat sources — radiators, ovens, industrial equipment, and other heat-generating devices can push ambient temperatures beyond safe operating limits.
Indoor vs. Outdoor Specifics
- Indoor (IP20)
- Outdoor (IP65)
Indoor digital totems are designed for climate-controlled environments such as shopping centres, offices, hotels, and public buildings.
- Protection Rating: IP20 — protected against solid objects larger than 12.5 mm; not sealed against water or dust ingress.
- Ventilation: Natural ventilation is sufficient. Ensure the area around the totem is not enclosed or obstructed.
- Operating Temperature: 0°C to 40°C. Do not operate in unheated spaces during winter months.
- Humidity: 20% to 80% relative humidity, non-condensing. Avoid locations near humidifiers, open windows in rainy conditions, or areas prone to condensation.
