Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does -20°C to 70°C mean in practice?
A: The board runs through Nordic winters and Gulf summers without heaters or active cooling - exactly the range outdoor locker networks experience.
Q: Why fanless for a locker?
A: Fans ingest dust and fail first in unattended cabinets. Passive heatsink cooling removes the weakest mechanical part and lengthens service intervals.
Q: How does it survive power problems on site?
A: Auto power-on after outage, hardware watchdog reboot on firmware hang, and surge-protected inputs handle unstable site power.
Q: Can it pair with a 1000-nit outdoor screen?
A: Yes. The LVDS output drives high-brightness panels readable in direct sunlight, a standard pairing for outdoor lockers.
Q: Is testing done at temperature extremes?
A: Each build passes chamber testing at range limits plus a 48-hour aging run before shipment.
