person maintenance and are designed to maintain a constant and comfortable temperature and as such are suitable for street level use with touch screens. They can also include water management such as drain locations and run off channels when opening the device for service. For semi outdoor or integrated solutions, such as those built into street furniture including kiosks, you can also adopt an IP65 front face display, which embed into the side of your cabinet. These displays can include a rubber sealing gasket to maintain the IP rating of the complete enclosure. This balances the cost and function of the system, offering a neat and simple way to integrate a display head into your design.
Aspect and orientation It is important to consider installation location. In the northern hemisphere, south facing displays are exposed to the longevity of the sun’s rays through the day and need to be designed to cope with that. Operating temperatures need to be considered dependant on the market and climate of the country of installation to find the best product to fit the requirement. CDS can help and offer a customer-led consultation to find the best solutions.
Many customers are now using displays in portrait orientation to differentiate from traditional systems and as such our IP66K models are designed to work in either format.
Also, through our customisation service, we can adapt designs for specific form factors, for example in the case of limited headroom. Figure 2 shows an example of an IP65 Stretched Panel PC, with incorporated 4G module and REACT antenna. This system was designed as a replacement for a discontinued product and

enables the customer to seamlessly support the end user service contract, and extend the serviceable lifetime of the shelter.
Anti-vandal resistance & monitoring All outdoor displays need to be rugged, however some more than others. We can build systems dependant on your needs, and our IP66K range is designed to meet IK10 standard.
For those remote locations where vandalism can be a problem, we also offer monitoring solutions to identify any problems with the system, including: shock sensor, temperature sensor, backlight sensor, voltage monitoring and flood alert. We can offer many off-the-shelf display systems but can also design systems to meet almost all requirements presented to us.
Testing and approvals
CDS take pride in only using tested and approved products from our list of partners having worked in the industry for many years. The experience we have gained has been invaluable to help our customers achieve the best total cost of ownership for projects.
In house sample soak testing is achieved through independent environmental testing using our state-of-the-art climate chamber to emulate outdoor conditions. This can test down to -40 °C and up to 180 °C! In summary, there are lots of points to consider when specifying a system for outdoor use and with the right support CDS can help you to find the best system that meets both the expectation of the project and the customer’s budget.
