Outdoor LED advertising display waterproof method: installation tips to prevent water ingress

Outdoor LED display is exposed to wind, sun, rain and snow for a long time, ensuring good waterproof performance is crucial to its long-term stable operation.

1.Select LED display screen designed for outdoor use

• Choose outdoor LED display products with IP65 and above protection level, these products usually have stronger sealing performance and waterproof structure design, can effectively resist rain, moisture and other environmental impacts.

2.Comprehensive inspection before installation

• Check whether the module, box and connector are intact;
• Ensure that the sealing strips, screws, interfaces and other accessories are not damaged;

3.Foundation and drainage design

• The foundation must be level, firm and slightly inclined to facilitate drainage. Appropriate drainage ditches should be provided around the foundation to avoid accumulation of water.

4.Optimization of sealing structure

• Waterproof adhesive tape is used between the box frame and the back cover plate;
• Seamless splicing between modules and adding waterproof gaskets to enhance sealing;
• Climatic factors such as wind pressure and snow pressure must be considered to ensure that the structure is firm and not deformed.

5.Specialized waterproof process details

• Use waterproof connectors to handle all inlet and outlet cables;
• Screw holes must be coated with sealant to prevent water penetration;
• The rear cover plate must be fixed with waterproof type fasteners;
• Wiring ports should be fitted with waterproof sleeves or sheaths.

6.Balanced design of heat dissipation and ventilation

• While waterproof, the internal components also need good heat dissipation. Suggestion:
• Install a reasonable ventilation system or heat dissipation window;
• Use waterproof but breathable exhaust valve to keep the balance of air pressure inside and outside the case;

7.Regular maintenance and overhaul

• Regular maintenance is the key to ensure the long-term effectiveness of waterproofing:
• Check whether the sealing tape is aging or falling off;
• After the rainy season or extreme weather, it is recommended to arrange special inspection.

8.Commission a professional team to install

• Waterproof installation requires experienced technicians to operate, it is recommended to choose the LED display installation team with project experience, from design, construction to commissioning the whole process of waterproofing details, to ensure worry-free.
