Life Expectancy of Constituent Parts
This section describes the life expectancy of constituent parts (backlight,
power supply, internal cooling fan and touch screen) of which the BPC-6670
is made up .
ꢁ
TFT Display Backlight
Display brightness decreases over time with use. The expected operating lifetime
of the backlight time to reach 50% initial brightness is 30,000 hours (assuming
continuous lit state at 25 degrees C). Actual lifetime before replacement is about
30,000 hours, although this depends on operating conditions.
ꢁ
Power Supply
The power supply has a minimum predicted MTBF of 100,000 hours of
continuous operation at 25 degrees C, maximum-output load, and nominal AC
input voltage.
ꢁ
Internal Cooling Fan
The BPC-6670 is equipped with two built-in +12V cooling fans, the life expectancy
of this fan under continuous use is approximately 50,000 hours (average time
before the rate of rotation is reduced by approximately 30%). Although the rate of
rotation will continue to go down, the fan should not just suddenly stop.
ꢁ
Touch Screen
The operating lifetime of the touch screen is approximately 1 million operations
(as tested by mechanical manipulation under 100g of force at a rate of two
presses per second).
