3.1 Installation Precautions

When installing the Afolux Monitor, please follow the precautions listed below:
Read the user manual: The user manual provides a complete description of
the Afolux Monitor, installation instructions and configuration options.
DANGER! Disconnect Power: Power to the monitor must be disconnected
when installing the Afolux Monitor, or before any attempt is made to access the rear panel. Electric shock and personal injury might occur if the rear panel of the monitor is opened while the power cord is still connected to an electrical outlet.
Qualified Personnel: The Afolux Monitor must be installed and operated only
by trained and qualified personnel. Maintenance, upgrades, or repai rs may only be carried out by qualified personnel who are familiar with the associated dangers.
Mounting: Since the Afolu x Monitor weighs 6.0 kg it is advised that two
people perform the installation.
Air Circulation: Make sure there is sufficient air circulation when inst alling the
monitor. The monitor’s cooling vents must not be obstructed by any objects. Blocking the vents can cause overheating of the monitor. Leave at least 5 cm of clearance around the monitor to prevent overheating.
Grounding: The monitor should be properly grounded. The voltage feeds
must not be overloaded. Adjust the cabling and provide external overcharge protection per the electrical values indicated on the label attached to the back of the monitor.
Anti-static Discharge : The rear panel of the monitor must to be removed to
configure the monitor’s AD board voltage select jumper. When doing so, be sure the monitor is disconnected from its power source and take all necessary safety precautions to avoid electrocution and static discharge to the AD board. The use of a grounded wrist strap and an anti-static work pad i s recommended.

3.2 Pre-installation Preparation

Before installing the Afolux Monitor, make sure the following tools are on hand:
Page 11
Phillips (crosshead) screwdriver: All the retention screws on the system are
Phillips screws.
Soft working mat: When the Afolux Monitor is installed, the screen is placed
on the working surface. It is therefore important to rest the Afolux Monitor on a soft at that cannot damage the LCD screen on the front of the Afolux Monitor.

Afolux Monitor
70%. By doing this, the LCD brightness does not become too bright or too dark if the ambient light reaches the default maximum or minimum value.
LUX Max. and LUX Min.
The SRM series is an ideal product for outdoor display. However, if the SRM series is installed in an environment with stable and low lux lighting, the LCD monitor cannot detect the default maximum lux (5200 lux) and make the LCD brightness reach to the maximum. To set the LCD brightness to the maximum value, the user can adjust the default maximum lux value.
For example, in a low lux office desk lighting environment, the default lux maximum value may be adjusted from 52 (5200 lux) to 4 (400 lux). Once the setting is changed, the monitor detects the ambient light and increases the LCD brightness to the maximum (
Figure 4-9). In this case, the LCD brightness increases in a low lux environment by
decreasing the maximum LUX value while keeping other settings in default.
