Guarantee and Compensation
Barco provides a guarantee relating to perfect manufacturing as part of the legally stipulated terms of guarantee. On receipt, the purchaser
must immediately inspect all delivered goods for damage incurred during transport, as well as for material and manufacturing faults Barco
must be informed immediately in writing of any complaints.
The period of guarantee begins on the date of transfer of risks, in the case of special systems and software on the date of commissioning,
at latest 30 days after the transfer of risks. In the event of justified notice of compliant, Barco can repair the fault or provide a replacement
at its own discretion within an appropriate period. If this measure proves to be impossible or unsuccessful, the purchaser can demand a
reduction in the purchase price or cancellation of the contract. All other claims, in particular those relating to compensation for direct or
indirect damage, and also damage attributed to the operation of software as well as to other services provided by Barco, being a component
of the system or independent service, will be deemed invalid provided the damage is not proven to be attributed to the absence of properties
guaranteed in writing or due to the intent or gross negligence or part of Barco.
If the purchaser or a third party carries out modifications or repairs on goods delivered by Barco, or if the goods are handled incorrectly,
in particular if the systems are commissioned operated incorrectly or if, after the transfer of risks, the goods are subject to influences not
agreed upon in the contract, all guarantee claims of the purchaser will be rendered invalid. Not included in the guarantee coverage are
system failures which are attributed to programs or special electronic circuitry provided by the purchaser, e.g. interfaces. Normal wear as
well as normal maintenance are not subject to the guarantee provided by Barco either.
The environmental conditions as well as the servicing and maintenance regulations specified in the this manual must be complied with by
the customer.

2.1 Custom Power Box Functionality
Overview:
The Custom Power Boxes provides power (230VAC) to run the full range of Barco LED Display systems (i.e. DLite, ILite, SLite).
There is a range of adapted Custom Power Boxes with a various of special outputs (multi pole connector), going from two up to ten.
Those special outputs are not suitable for direct connection with the tiles, but one output can be split up into six outputs by using a
Spider Connector. Each output of a Spider Connector can provide several tiles with power. Every custom power box includes also
a multi-purpose power outlet.

4.2 Installation
WARNING:The following procedure must be performed by authorized an qualified technical personnel only.
CAUTION:Make sure that the local power supply voltage correspond with the required input voltage of the
Custom Power Box. Wrong input voltage can cause damage to the power box and the equipment connected
to it.
Necessary tools
• Wrench13mm.
• Crosshead screwdriver.
• Volt meter.
Necessary parts
Four bolts M8 x 20.
Installation procedure
1. Instal the Custom Power Box on a safe location, which is only accessible by authorized persons. There is no need to disassemble
the Custom Power Box for installation. Each corner on the backside of the Custom Power Box is provided with a fixed M8 nut.
Use for every nut a M8 x 25 mm bolt for fastening the Custom Power Box. (image 4-3)
2. Open the door of the Custom Power Box and place all the circuit breakers in the OFF position.
3. Remove the lower cover plate inside the Custom Power Box by releasing four crosshead screws.
4. Guide the incoming power cable through the cable seal at the bottom of the Custom Power Box and insert the wires into the cor-
responding pins of the main connector. Make sure the wires are fastened and the cable seal is tightened. (image 4-4, image 4-5)
Warning: Make sure the power cable is powerless while handling.
Caution: The characteristics of the incoming power cable must comply with the local regulations regarding such installations.
5. Place the lower cover plate back inside the Custom Power Box.

4.3 Connections between custom power box and LED-wall
General
The custom power box is provided with multi-pole power output connectors. One multi-pole connector contains six (6) power circuits,
each protected with a 16 ampere rated circuit breaker.
A multi power cable is used to transport the power from the multi-pole connector to a spider connector. This spider connector
subdivide the power circuits into individual power source cables. Each power source cable of the spider connector leads to a group
of tiles. See installation manual of the involved tiles to know the maximum amount of tiles connected in parallel with the same power
source cable.

WARNING:To protect against risk of fire by overloading of power cables, the amount of tiles per power source
cable is limited. Never connect more tiles than allowed. See installation manual of theinvolvedtilestoknow
the maximum amount of tiles connected in parallel with the same power source cable.
Necessary parts
• Multi power cables
• Spider connectors
• Spider support brackets
• Power source cables
How to realize the connections between the custom power box and the LED-wall ?
1. Install a spider support bracket at the rear side of the LED-wall. Choose a place where all output cables of the spider connector
will easily connect to the start point of a power branch.
2. Fasten the multi-pole plug of a spider connector inside the spider support bracket.
Warning: Always use waterproof spider connectors in case of an outdoor LED-wall application.
3. Connect a single power source cable of the spider connector with the start point of a power branch of tiles in the LED-wall.
4. Repeat step 3 until all six power source cables of the spider connector are connected with the LED-wall.
5. Connect a multi power cable with the spider connector. Ensure to fasten the locking cap of the spider connector.
6. Connect the other side of the multi power cable with one of the multi-pole sockets on the custom power box. Ensure to fasten
the locking cap of the multi-pole plug.
Warning: Ensure the custom power box is switched off.
7. Repeat from step 1 until all multi-pole sockets of the custom power box are used.
