Specify an outdoor wall-mounted unit when a load-checked façade can carry the enclosure weight and the pedestrian walkway must stay clear. Specify a freestanding outdoor totem when there is no usable wall face, or the message must sit in a plaza, station approach, or parking path. The pain is structural, not cosmetic: wall jobs fail when fixings ignore the size-drawing weight; freestanding jobs fail when base-plate and foundation details are guessed instead of taken from the selected model drawing. OD-W and OD-F are both IP65 and 3000 nits. Write IP65 and the full model code, e.g. YJC-550-OD-W, on the RFQ. For IP66 outdoor displays, compare the mounting requirements in the selected model drawing.
Outdoor wall mount vs freestanding totem: the difference in one minute
An outdoor wall-mounted unit — for example the 55-inch model YJC-550-OD-W — hangs on a building face. Every Outdoor Wall-Mounted Digital Signage unit ships with a reinforced wall bracket. The installer matches wall structure, weight, fixings, and cable route to the size drawing for that model.
A freestanding outdoor totem — for example the 55-inch model YJC-550-OD-F — carries its own floor enclosure and base fixing. Use the Outdoor Digital Kiosk where there is no usable wall. Your civil contractor sets the foundation from the selected OD-F model drawing. Base dimensions and fixing positions must be checked on that drawing before foundation work.
Decision table: which mount type to specify
| Question | Prefer wall-mounted (OD-W) | Prefer freestanding totem (OD-F) |
|---|---|---|
| Wall structure available and load-checked? | Yes — select an OD-W model and confirm weight + fixings on the size drawing | No usable / wrong-facing wall → OD-F |
| Floor cutout / base plate / foundation allowed? | Not required for the display enclosure (wall carries the load) | Required — use base fixing from the selected OD-F drawing |
| Plaza or open entrance with no usable wall face? | Use only if a checked wall face exists at the message point | Primary path — totem sits in the path of travel |
| Must keep pedestrian walkway clear? | Yes — wall mount keeps the floor clear | Only if the planned footprint still leaves the required clear width |
| Double-sided message needed? | Single face. Pick landscape or portrait. | Double-sided is available on 75″ and 86″. State single or double on the RFQ. |
| Service access (front/side vs enclosure doors)? | Plan front/side access at the wall face per the wall drawing | Plan enclosure-door access per the floor totem drawing |
| RFQ must include: size, orientation, IP, mounting drawing | 32–98″, landscape or portrait, IP65, wall dimension PDF | 32–98″, portrait, single/double-sided, IP65, totem dimension PDF |
OD-W and OD-F at a glance:

When wall-mounted is the right call
- Building façade, shop wall, mall exterior, or residential entrance info point where a load-checked wall face exists at the message location.
- Pedestrian walkway must stay clear — the enclosure hangs on the wall, so the floor footprint of the display itself is removed from the path.
- The reinforced wall bracket is in the box. Your installer still checks structure, fixings, and cable route against the 92 kg (YJC-550-OD-W landscape) load.
- OD-W comes in landscape or portrait. YJC-550-OD-W: 1420 × 930 × 198 mm / 92 kg landscape; 891 × 1459 × 148 mm portrait.
- Get the dimension PDF for your model from Downloads before you size the fixings.
When freestanding totem is the right call
- No usable wall, wall faces the wrong direction, or the message must sit in a plaza path, station approach, or parking information point.
- YJC-550-OD-F: 1990 × 800 × 125 mm and 120 kg. Take base plate size and anchor positions from its drawing.
- Need two faces? Double-sided is offered on the 75″ and 86″ totems.
- Portrait is the primary orientation on the floor line; confirm the selected size on the drawing before RFQ lock.

Site rules before you pour or drill
Put these rules in the specifier pack before concrete or anchors are ordered:
- Wall path — match structure to the size-drawing weight. Example: YJC-550-OD-W landscape is 92 kg. Confirm substrate, anchor type, and cable route against the selected OD-W dimension PDF. The reinforced wall bracket ships with the enclosure; the site still checks the wall.
- Freestanding — the civil contractor pours to the OD-F drawing: base plate, anchor positions, footprint.
- Keep clear width on plaza installs. If the totem sits in the path of travel, confirm the planned footprint still leaves the required pedestrian clear width after foundation work.
- Plan ambient against the operating window. Both lines run 24/7 from −45 to 65 °C. Check site record lows and highs against that window.
- Power. AC 100–240 V; state destination country and quantity on the RFQ.
- Wind load is the site engineer’s call: give them the model drawing and your local code. Installation is quoted by your local installer.
- IP on the RFQ. OD-W and OD-F are IP65. If the spec calls for IP66, switch to the outdoor IP66 display line.
Board, OS, and offline playback
Both OD-W and OD-F run the same controller stack: Android 11, RK3568 quad-core 2.0 GHz, 2 GB / 32 GB eMMC, USB×2, HDMI-IN×1, RJ45, Wi-Fi/LAN, optional 3G/4G.
Integrator lock before handover:
- Confirm CMS or player app is installed and set to boot into the approved playlist.
- Preload the media pack to local eMMC (or approved USB media) so playback continues when WAN or cellular drops.
- Test the HDMI-IN fallback path if the site also feeds a live source.
- Document who refreshes local content after install and how the unit recovers after power loss (24/7 outdoor duty).
OD-F adjusts brightness automatically; OD-W runs at a fixed 3000 cd/m².
How to report IP on the RFQ
- Every wall code from YJC-320-OD-W to YJC-980-OD-W is IP65, and so is every floor code from YJC-320-OD-F to YJC-980-OD-F. Write IP65 on the RFQ.
- If the spec needs IP66, move to the outdoor IP66 display line.
- Enclosure IP does not replace structural or foundation assessment for totems, or wall-fixing assessment for wall units.

FAQ
When should I choose outdoor wall-mounted over a freestanding totem?
Choose wall-mount when a load-checked wall is at the message point and the walkway must stay clear. Choose a freestanding totem when there is no usable wall, or the message must sit in a plaza or entrance path. Report IP65 for the OD-W or OD-F model you are specifying, and take weight or base fixings from that model’s drawing.
Are YJCEN outdoor wall and floor totem models IP65 or IP66?
IP65. Wall codes run YJC-320-OD-W through YJC-980-OD-W; floor codes run YJC-320-OD-F through YJC-980-OD-F. Write IP65 on the RFQ for those model codes. If the spec needs IP66, move to the outdoor IP66 display line — that is a sibling family, not these OD-W or OD-F codes.
Do outdoor wall displays include a mounting bracket?
Yes. Every OD-W unit ships with a reinforced wall bracket. Your installer still checks wall structure, weight, fixings, and cable route against the size drawing for the selected model — for example YJC-550-OD-W landscape at 92 kg — before locking the façade fixings and the cable entry path.
Does a freestanding totem need a wall?
No. An OD-F totem such as YJC-550-OD-F uses its own floor enclosure and base fixing from the selected model drawing. Use it where no usable wall face exists, or where the message must sit in a plaza path. Confirm base dimensions and fixing positions on that drawing before foundation work.
What do I send to get a mounting drawing and quote?
Send 5 core fields plus site photos. Cover size, model code, orientation, wall vs floor, and photos or a site drawing; add single/double-sided for totems, quantity, and destination country. Pull dimension PDFs from Downloads, then submit the pack via Contact with the offline playback plan named.
What OS and offline playback do OD-W and OD-F use?
Android 11 on RK3568, 2 GB / 32 GB eMMC, on both OD-W and OD-F. They also carry USB×2, HDMI-IN, RJ45, and Wi-Fi/LAN. Load the playlist to local storage so playback holds if the WAN drops; if the site also feeds a live source, keep HDMI-IN as the fallback input.
