1. Safety
1.3 Important warnings
Important warnings:
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.
Maximum and minimum ambient temperature:
The maximum ambient temperature for the LED wall is 40°C, the minimum temperature is -20°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.
Risk of electric shock / Risk of fire:
To protect against risk of fire caused by overloading of power cables, MAXIMUM 3 tiles may be connected in parallel. Each power
source cable supplying maximum 3 tiles should be protected by a circuit breaker or fuses rated 16 A / 250 VAC (15 A / 250 VAC in
the USA and Canada). Note that one SF-10V tile requires 220-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz, 1.56 amps at 230 VAC.
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 current loops due to voltage differences in the neutral conductor. The total electrical
installation should be protected by an appropriately rated disconnect switch, circuit breakers, over voltage protector and Ground Fault
Current Interrupters. 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. In
America, special attention should be given to the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.
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 them only with new ones. Never try to repair a power cord.
Data cables:
The data cables provided with this system have special properties for safety. They are not user serviceable. If the data cables are
damaged, replace them only with new ones. Never try to repair a data cable. Per requirements of the National Electrical Code®
in the USA , the length of a data cable must not exceed 42 m (140 feet). Avoid exposure of data cables to accidental contact with
lightning or power conductors.
Salty environment
If install in coastal cities, the SF-10V display shall be installed 250 meters away from the shoreline horizontally in dry and cold
climates; 500 meters away from the shoreline in case of high humidity and hot climates. The high humidity and hot climate mean
the climate that the humidity is higher than 80% RH and temperature is higher than 0°C for one third of time every

3. Installation requirements
3.1 Mechanical requirements for the SF-10V display
Support structure
The support structure has to be provided and installed by the customer because they vary from system to system. Although, the
following must be taken into account and must be precisely calculated on individual basis:
1. Weight tolerances : Ensure that the support structure and the floor on which or the wall against which the support structure
has to be installed, is able to handle the complete weight of the SF-10V display.
2. Environmental conditions : Humidity, wind, temperatures, rain, salty etc.
3. Location : Outdoor, altitude, etc.
4. Ground stability
5. Front clearances : For optimal impact ensure that there is sufficient free area in front of the SF-10V display and respect the
maximum viewing distance.
6. Local regulations regarding such installations
WARNING:Never construct a SF-10V display 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 advice on profes-
sional rigging organizations.
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 system’s viability, consult Barco for advise on professional
rigging organizations.
Example of a support structure
The support structure below consists of vertical I beams which are provided with mounting plates. The mounting plates located in
the back of the support structure when mounting SF-10V tiles.
Image 3-1
The support structure in the above example is pure illustrative for a SF-10V display consisting of 12 tiles.
It’s recommended to integrate a service platform in every other two row of the support structure . Such a
platform allows a fast and easy intervention, if required.
WARNING:90% energy is transferred into heat, which requires a certain amount of airflow at the rear of
the SF-10V display. For that sufficient free space should be available behind the display to ensure a good
ventilation. The higher the display the more free space is required.
