1.3 Important Warnings

Important Warnings:

•Risk of electric shock:

Image 1-5

Risk of electrical shock

Risk of electric shock. Do not open. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove cover (or back). No user-serviceable

parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.

The lightning flash with an arrowhead within a triangle is intended to tell the user that parts inside this product may cause a risk

of electrical shock to persons.

The exclamation point within a triangle is intended to tell the user that important operating and/or servicing instructions are

included in the technical documentation for this equipment.

•Maximum ambient temperature:

The maximum ambient temperature for the LED wall is 40 °C, the minimum temperature is -10 °C.

•High leakage current:

The combination of multiple tiles in an installation results in increased levels of leakage current. In order to avoid risk of electric

shock due to high leakage current, proper grounding of the installation is required.

•Flammable materials:

Keep flammable materials away from the installation (such as curtains). A lot of energy is transferred into heat. The installation

should be such that the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised. Proper ventilation

must be provided.

•ESD and LED’s:

LED components used in ILite devices are ESD (Electro-Static Discharge) sensitive. To prevent the possibility of destroying

LED components do not touch either in operation or while switched off.

•Risk of electric shock / Risk of fire:

To protect against risk of fire by overloading of power cables, MAXIMUM 6 TILES in one column may be connected in parallel.

Each source cable supplying a column of MAXIMUM 6 TILES should be protected by a circuit breaker or fuses rated 16 A / 250

•Disconnect device:

When the appliance inlets of the individual tiles are not accessible, the socket outlets supplying the rack shall be installed near

the equipment and be easily accessible, or a readily accessible general disconnect device shall be incorporated in the fixed

wiring.

•This equipment MUST be earthed:

In order to protect against risk of electric shock, the installation should be properly grounded. Defeating the purpose of the

grounding type plug will expose you to the risk of electric shock.

•Power system:

It is recommended to use a TN-S power distribution system (a power distribution system with a separate neutral and grounding

conductor) in order to avoid large ground currents loops due to voltage differences in the neutral conductor. The total electrical

installation should be protected by an appropriate rated disconnect switch, circuit breakers and Ground Fault Current Inter-

rupters. The installation shall be done according to the local electrical installation codes. In Europe special attention should be

given to EN 60364, the standard for electrical installation of buildings. In Germany VDE 0100 should be adhered to.

•Mains cords:

The power cords delivered with this system have special properties for safety. They are not user serviceable. If the power cords

are damaged, replace only with new ones. Never try to repair a power cord.

2. System Overview

2.2 Support structure

Support structures

Screen supporting/securing structures are not described in this manual, because the vary from system to system. Although, the

following must be taken into account and must be precisely calculated on individual basis:

1. Weight tolerances.

2. Ceiling heights (floor or suspended).

3. Ballast loads (for base stand assemblies).

4. Front or rear clearances.

5. Stacking limitations.

6. Environmental conditions.

7. Location.

8. Ground clearances.

9. Ground stability.

10. Local regulations regarding such installations.

Individual basis

Support structures must be assessed on an individual basis. Never construct a wall if there is uncertainty regarding the stability of

an installation or the load holding capabilities. If there are doubts on a systems viability, consult Barco for advise on professional

rigging organizations.

Example of a support structure

Image 2-2

ILitesupportstructureforaH7xV5ILitedisplay.

The support structure in the above example is pure illustrative for a H7 x V5 ILite display. Several variants of

support structures are possible for the same size of an ILite display. Contact Barco NV. for more information.

2.3 Assembly blocks for an ILite display system

2.3.1 ILite assembly blocks

Introduction

The assembly of a system due to the multitude of possible screen sizes / configurations is difficult to assume. Eight different sizes

of assembly blocks (basic building frames) are available having tile arrangements in the ratios H2 x V2, H2 x V3, H2 x V4, H3 x V2,

H3xV3,H3xV4,H4xV2,H4xV3(H = Horizontal space for ILite tile & V = Vertical space for ILite tile). This modular concept

gives rise to configurations of unlimited possibility, screen dimensions of the most desirable sizes can be rapidly constructed, with

maximum flexibility.

The assembly blocks are prepared on the ground and then raise to their desired position, depending on the circumstances and

facilities available.

ILite assembly blocks are only to be used in conjunction with BARCO ILite modules.

2.4 ILite display tiles

2.4.1 ILite display tiles

Introduction

The ILite range is delivering a quality picture of a video cube without its inherent technology limits as hotspot-effect, jailhouse-

effect, alignment problems and low contrast level. But offering shallow depth, long lifetime, increased ruggedness and incredible

picture dynamics. Built-in intelligence provides for auto-calibration of the full display, hot swap of tiles and diagnostic capabilities.

An embedded PC equips every ILite tile, providing it with intelligence and advanced logic handling capabilities. This PC is the host

of a great deal of the added value offered by the ILite. An extreme fill factor and high resolution offers a full color blended picture at

distances smaller than 3 meters. Half of the full brightness is still perceived at angles of 145º from the surface of the display.
