Start with the exact model and version
Keep the full model designation, including indoor or outdoor suffixes and named electrical variants. A value from one version should not silently become the specification of a whole series. If a quotation and a downloadable document disagree, ask for the agreed document version before placing an order.
Model names can use abbreviated pitch labels. Read the pixel-pitch row for the exact published value, and keep the cabinet or unit resolution beside it. When a displayed pitch is rounded, calculating pixels by dividing a dimension by that rounded figure may not reproduce the published integer resolution exactly.
Separate module, display and overall dimensions
A module is a component; a cabinet combines components; a finished poster or conference display may be specified as a complete unit. The display area is the illuminated picture. Overall or profile dimensions can include a frame, enclosure or base.
For example, the CL2 sheet lists a 300 mm display diameter and a 340 mm frame diameter. The TP Kiosk sheet gives overall dimensions of 1000 × 2288 × 550 mm. These are different kinds of dimension, so use the field that matches the task: picture layout, mounting opening or floor space.
Keep width and height labels when copying values. Some poster sheets write height first, while cabinet sheets commonly write width first. Reversing the order changes the layout even when every digit has been copied correctly.
Read the power unit before doing the multiplication
The PF1.5 sheet states 600 W/unit maximum and 200 W/unit average. The TS3 sheet states 865 W/m² maximum and 330 W/m² average. A unit-based value is multiplied by the number of complete units; an area-based value is multiplied by display area.
| Power basis | Average power in kW |
|---|---|
| W/unit | Average W/unit × units ÷ 1000 |
| W/m² | Average W/m² × area in m² ÷ 1000 |
As a worked example, three PF1.5 units at the stated 200 W/unit average give 600 W, or 0.6 kW. Actual consumption depends on operation and content; a maximum value and an average value serve different planning purposes. These arithmetic examples are not a substitute for an electrical installation design.
Keep frame rate and refresh rate separate
Two fields can use hertz while describing different things. TR6 lists a frame-rate range of 23.98–144 Hz. PF1.5 lists a refresh rate of 3840 Hz. The TR6 frame-rate figure must not be relabelled as an LED refresh rate, and the PF refresh figure does not mean that the source content contains that many different video frames each second.
If the screen will be filmed, share the intended camera settings and content workflow with the supplier. A single refresh-rate number does not establish how every camera and exposure setting will behave.
Check protection and maintenance for the selected model
Look for separate front and rear protection values where provided. Also read the maintenance field: PF1.5 specifies front maintenance, while PFW2.5 specifies rear maintenance. The placement must allow the access required by the actual product.
Do not fill a missing field with a value borrowed from a similar model. Record it as a question for the quotation. Keep the final agreed datasheet with the order so later discussions about size, power and installation refer to the same specification.
