24” display above decks installation requirements

Surface temperatureThe 24” display is designed to operate in ambient temperatures of up to 55°C / 131°F and with display surface temperatures of up to 65°C / 149°F.  However, when the display is exposed to prolonged, direct sunlight the surface of the 24” display may exceed these temperatures. This may cause the LCD to blackout temporarily, until the surface temperature falls to within normal limits. To help mitigate this occurrence it is recommended that when installing in an above decks environment the Axiom XL 24 is mounted in a location protected from direct sunlight e.g.: underneath a hardtop or Bimini (canvas).

Other factors that can help to reduce the surface temperature of your display include ensuring sufficient airflow around the display and reducing the LCD’s brightness level.
