Don’t Let the Cold Weather Disable Your Digital Signage
Arctic conditions have dominated the news headlines in the northern hemisphere this year with some countries, including the UK, suffering their coldest winter in three decades.
There is a serious risk that many digital signage campaigns erected in outdoor locations or in areas without adequate heating could fail because of the unusually low temperatures.
Problems can occur in outdoor digital signage systems if condensation builds up and then freezes ' this expansion of the frozen water can permanently disable any LCD or plasma device used as in the display device.
Whether the outdoor digital signage will continually operate in severe cold conditions, and will also be safeguarded from any possible damage due to the sub-zero temperatures, depends on the quality of the LCD enclosure that houses the digital signage.
Not all LCD enclosures are manufactured with the same quality in mind and whilst most are designed with the outdoor standards IP65 (European) and NEMA 4 (USA) these do not take into consideration ice, snow or low temperatures.
