2.1 Installation requirements for the OLite rental display
Weight
Do not underestimate the weight of a complete OLite rental display. Be sure that the floor or truss installation on which the OLite
rental display has to be installed is capable of handling five (5) times the complete load of the display. Note that one OLite rental
tile weights approximately 60 kg (or 100 kg per square meter display). Do not forget to take into account the weight of the ballast
required in case of a base stand OLite rental display.
Leveled surface
The surface on which an OLite rental display has to be installed must be leveled. Never install an OLite rental display on an inclined
surface.
Ballast
Depending on the expected wind load, the height of the display and the position of the LED-wall upon the foot beams (somewhere
between front and middle) additional weight (ballast) will be required. Consult chapter "Ballast values for an base stand OLite dis-
play", page 62, or use the “Ballast calculator” tool available on Barco’s secured web site to calculate the minimum ballast you require
for safe installation of your OLite rental display.

The following chapters describe and illustrate these three main components (OLite rental frame, OLite module and OLite control
box) more in detail.
4.1 OLite rental frame
Introduction OLite rental frame
The OLite rental frame is made of aluminium profiles and stainless steel to reduce weight without losing strength. This strong frame
allows you to build OLite LED-walls up to 12 frames high stacked or 15 tiles high trussed. The front of the OLite rental frame has a
grid where OLite modules fit in forming 4 chains.
The top of the OLite rental frame is equipped with two big cones for easy and fast positioning of the upper rental frame. The bottom
corners of the OLite rental frame contain a solid locking mechanism operated with a fixed rugged handle, no tools required. These
locking mechanisms and the big cones ensure a fast and secure attachment between the upper and lower tile. The rear right side
of the OLite rental frame is equipped with a smaller rugged handle which operates the side locking mechanism to secure the rental
tiles sideways with the neighboring tile.
All sides of the OLite rental frame are provided with small positioning cones and planes to ensure a precise positioning between the
tiles. It’s important to keep those cones and planes clean, otherwise seams will be visible after installation of the rental frame into
the LED-wall.
The left and right rear sides of the OLite rental frame contain two holes which are used to install the stacker system in case of a
base stand OLite display configuration. A mounting plate for the OLite control box is attached inside the OLite rental frame. This
mounting plate with control box can easily be removed without tools to allow fast servicing of the rental tile. Furthermore the left and
right side of the frame are equipped with a fold out carrying handle.

4.2 OLite module
Introduction OLite module
The front of an OLite module consists of a matrix of full color SMD LED’s enclosed with a shader and sheltered in an IP65 housing.
The rear of the OLite module is equipped with two positioning pins and two snap-in latches which stand in for a precise and fast
attachment into the support grid. Furthermore the rear contains a heat sink provided with an external fan (IP54) which starts to run
when the internal temperature exceeds a specific temperature. Two LED’s, located just below the external fan, indicate the status
of the OLite module. An OLite module has only one connector socket. Power and data are passed through this circular waterproof
(IP65) connector.

easier.
• Port 1 : Red
• Port 2 : Green
•Port3:Blue
• Port 4 : White
• Port 5 : Magenta
•Port6:Cyan
In a standard OLite rental tile the power/data output ports number 5 and 6 are not used but sealed with a
dummy plug (Z3499467). Four strings of OLite modules are sufficient to fill the grid of an OLite rental frame.
Using an OLite control box as stand alone re-sync unit
The OLite control box acts like a stand alone re-sync unit in case no power is applied to the power input socket of the control box.
When you use the OLite control box as stand alone re-sync unit ensure to place dummy plugs upon the power input and output
sockets. Maximum connect three (3) stand alone re-sync units in series. The cable length used between two control boxes may not
exceed 5 meter.
Power cables used between OLite control boxes
To meet the demands of each OLite application Barco offers several lengths of power cables to link power from control box to control
box. Note that the power output port of the last OLite control box in the power chain has to be sealed with a dummy power plug.
