How does this technology get protected all the way through the coldest time of the year? Winter brings back images of last year with the thick snow fall in the UK that brought nearly all of the roads to a standstill, so imagine what this will do for delicate hardware.

An outdoor digital signage housing is the ideal answer, as you will read it has a solution for all the troubles you run into during winter.

Freezing weather.

When the temperature outdoor plummets below zero, you have to wonder why dynamic signage is so effective, surely no one is watching the images in this cold weather? Yet if the inside of the LCD enclosure hits zero, the monitor and content player or small factor PC will be in danger of failing, to stop this the better manufactured outdoor digital signage enclosures are installed with thermostatic heaters, these actually work before it gets to zero, to avert the next dilemma.

Condensation.

With the heat from the display and computer in cold weather, this can produce condensation within the housing, in spite of this a thermostatically controlled heater prevents this headache by heating the housing before moisture is created in the casing.

Insulation.

For extreme cold climates, thermally managed insulation is used, to hang on to heat inside the enclosure, whilst the cooling system removes heat build up, ensuring the within of the enclosure is at the right temperature.

Freezing locks.

What would take place if you send an engineer to site only to find after commuting for 2 hours he cannot open the enclosure to access the equipment for critical maintenance-Apart from wasting precious time and money.

Some enclosure makers supply their units with weather shield's, this keeps out dust and the weather, the worse potential incident we have heard of is of vandals putting super glue into the locks of the enclosure! This is removed with weatherproof covers.

So in preparation for Winter, take note of some of the would-be tribulations you may encounter and look for an enclosure that has all of the above to minimize you wasting time trying to resolve tribulations that could have been prevented.
