Cabling- Ensure that if you are running cables through your garden, you must install some sort of conduit for the cables and their connectors to run through, these must be berried at least 12” down, to prevent pets and other animals eating through the cables as well as an accidents (cutting power cables with a garden spade) whilst turning the garden over.

3. Types of screen – There are three options here, to use a standard TV and put it in a special outdoor case (we will come to this later), or buy a TV that is manufactured to be outdoors (these cost anything up to $25,000), alternatively we have seen large inflatable screens that incorporate a projector so you connect the projector and away you go watching your favourite program.

LCD Enclosure Global -anything else is a compromise.

There are many types of protective TV cases, including dust proof LCD enclosures, waterproof LCD enclosures and weatherproof LCD enclosures but they are all for different uses.

Dust proof LCD enclosures.
These are normally used in factories were there is a large dust or carbon presence in the air, this type of protective case are classed as IP56 (European Standards). This case has a specially designed filtered fan unit that that filters out all harmful air bourn particles whilst the air inside the unit is cool and clean of any hazards that may effect the flat panel display.

Waterproof LCD enclosures.
This protective case is designed to prevent water ingress into the unit whilst ensuring the flat panel display is kept cool and free from any moisture. The have a classification of IP65, which has been tested under strict conditions with a high pressure water jet, normally supplied with a cooling fan unit. These are used in wash down areas within factories, normally associated with the food industry for hygiene.

Weatherproof LCD enclosures.
This unit is designed to IP65 (European standard) and NEMA 4X (US standard) and used to prevent either the LCD or plasma display from failing, as this unit is fitted with both a cooling fan and a thermostatically controlled heater. The thermostat is essential as it is set to the required internal temperature then when the internal temperature drops or rises the cooler or heater automatically cuts in, ensuring the internal temperature is at the perfect temperature. These are used for digital signage applications or people who are looking to install an outdoor home cinema.

All these units offer different protection, some for indoor use and some for outdoor use.

The first question you may ask is why? Well with the affordability of new technology displays such as LCD and plasma televisions, it makes marketing or showcasing their products much easier.

One company in Texas needed two flat panel televisions positioned in a factory environment, they manufactured dairy produce, however the issue was that the factory floor was flooded at the end of every shift, so wall mounting an unprotected LCD television was not an option.

Due to the death of the CRT display, LCD and plasma displays are very common and the sales for this type of television is now outstripping demand. The problem with all flat panel displays is that they are designed and manufactured for home use only.

There were two main problems to address in the dairy, firstly the air bourn dust from the cattle and the second problem is protecting the display from water. So LCD Enclosure Global offered a solution for the shop floor digital signage and the solution was for enclosing the LCD. This solved the problems provided the maximum protection from the hazards.

LCD Enclosure Global went on to supply their sister company in Israel with the same solution. The solution included filters that filter out any air bourn particles of dust, these filters should be cleaned every 2 or three months for optimum efficiency.
The enclosure uses a positive pressure system that allows air to enter the enclosure through the filter and the dust is filtered out. When the customer started using LCD’s in factory settings they realised the enclosures were perfect for the application.

As far as internal temperatures are concerned, these were taken care of by thermostats, one for the heater and one for the fan unit, so no matter if it was too hot or cold, the solution was there and the LCD enclosure has been rolled out at other plants related to the original company throughout the world.
