Watchfire cabinets are designed to minimize heat and provide durable
protection from the elements. The rear side of our cabinet features
mill-finish aluminum. Contact your Watchfire representative if a painted
finish is required.
VENTILATION
DESIGNS
Improperly ventilated signs risk overheating, which will affect the life and
operation of the sign.
Front-vent Cabinets (Price Watcher
Included)
Watchfire front-vent cabinets and Price Watcher models draw air in
through vents on the lower edge of the cabinet. Patented multi-chamber
cooling provides built-in fans to ensure brighter, longer lasting LEDs with
no need for additional wiring or fan kits.
DO NOT BLOCK the air intake, exhaust or LED modules located on
the front face with any part of the metal cabinet or coverings.
Rear-vent
Cabinets
Watchfire rear-vent cabinets draw air in through a vent at the bottom of the cabinet's rear side, and use cooling fans located
inside the top of the cabinet to draw cool air up.
Ventilation must be completely unobstructed by mesh or louvers. To conceal a gap, calculate the open air portion of the
concealment material and (for each cabinet) allow 24 (or more) square inches of total air intake and 24 (or more) square
inches of total air exhaust per foot of cabinet length.
DO NOT RESTRICT AIRFLOW on the cabinet's rear side. A minimum 2" gap per face behind each cabinet is
necessary. For wall- mounted rear-vent cabinets, airflow must be unobstructed from top to bottom, in addition to
leaving a minimum 3" gap between the sign and wall.
Optimal Ventilation Alternate Ventilation (Single Pole)
For signs up to 16'in length installed on a single pole—allow a

cabinet. Although ends may be sealed, it is best to use a loose mesh
material or leave area open to allow for maximum airflow.

remedies set forth in this paragraph are Buyer's exclusive remedies for the delivery of a Nonconforming System.

merely worn out (e.g., aged LEDs). Repaired or replaced parts provided within the original warranty period shall have the same
warranty for the balance of the original warranty period. Part(s) replaced or repaired outside of any warranty period shall have a
