servicing to qualified service personnel.
Maximum and minimum ambient temperature:
The maximum ambient temperature for the LED wall is 40°C (104°F), the minimum temperature is -10°C (14°F).
Low Voltage Surge Protection Device required
Due to the damaging effects of lightning, utility switching and switching electric motors of other users on the mains, this product
needs to be protected by means of a Surge Protection Device. This product is connected to the mains through a power distribution
box from party, please verify that a Low Voltage Surge Protection Device according EN61643-11 or UL 1449 is in place.
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:
Each power source cable 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 tile requires 100-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz.
To protect against risk of fire caused by overloading of power cables, the number of tiles connected in parallel is limited. See table
below.
Tile Power source Maximum number of tiles per power source cable
X 1.2 110-180Vac

The power limits of the used power connectors needs to be followed. A C13/C14 connector is limited to 10A. An Amphenol connector
is limited to 16A.
ESD and LED’s:
LED components used in X-series tiles are ESD (Electro-Static Discharge) sensitive. To prevent the possibility of destroying LED
components do not touch either in operation or while switched off. Always use ESD-gloves.
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 HD 60364, Harmonization Document 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.
LEDs:
The LEDs used on the X-series tiles are fragile. Never push with a hard or sharp object onto the lens of the LED as this may cause
damage to the LED. The maximum allowed load upon the lens of the LED is 300 gram/LED. Be careful when installing a shader
upon the X-series tiles. Shaders only fit in one direction and this should be verified before pushing into final position. Use your bare
fingers (not nails) to press the shader over the LEDs. Use your finger nails to press upon the framework of the shader between the
LEDs (not upon the LEDs) to push the shader in its final position.
Do not hot plug:
Do not hot plug any cables. Damage to the connector pins may occur. Resulting damage is not covered under warranty.
Maximum allowed display height:
The maximum height of a X-series display in:
In a hanging configuration:
• with traditional truss : 25 tiles
• with auto balancing truss in combination with X1.2 or X1.5: 20 tiles
• with auto balancing truss in combination with X2.5 or X4.0: 24 tiles
In base stand setup configuration:
• with traditional beam: 25 tiles
• with auto balance truss: 20 tiles
When using back mounting, the maximum height is unlimited.
1.5 Proper usage
Proper usage of X-series tiles
• No part of the X-series tile can come in contact with any type of moisture.
• No part of the X-series tile can come in contact with any type of abrasive.
• No part of the X-series tile can come in contact with any type of dust.
• No part of the X-series tile can come in contact with any type of corrosive substance.
• Using the LED product in an environment with high corrosive gasses (e.g. Sulphur) can lead to discoloration of the materials.
This discoloration gives a change in brightness of the product. This could lead to uniformity differences and possibly also to
failures. Each use of the product in this kind of environment needs to be checked up-front with the supplier.

1. Safety
• X-series tiles are to be used in environments meeting the operating specifications.
• X-series tiles are not to be used in environments that are subject to airborne contaminants such as that produced by smoke
machines (cracked oil) or similar (these deposit a thin layer of greasy residue upon the LEDs optics, degrading performance).
• X-series tiles are not to be exposed to extreme localized heat or cold exceeding the temperature specifications.
• X-series tiles are not to be exposed to any element or situation that will cause any part of the display to heat beyond what occurs
during normal operation. Such situations include but are not limited to lasers, ultrasonic vibration, or any type of substance that
prevents proper ventilation and heat radiation of the X-series tiles.
• X-series tiles are not to be exposed to circumstances where moisture can condense or collect on any components.
• Power connected to the X-series tiles must meet the specifications outlined in the installation manual.
• Avoid any accidental bumping of the tile corners while installing or removing the X-series tiles. Since LED’s of the X-series tiles
are mounted near by the edges of the LED boards, which is unavoidable in the design of a high resolution LED-wall, the corners
of the X-series tiles become sensitive for mechanical damage. Because of that it is required to handle the X-series tiles with
care at all times.
• Never place an X-series tile upon a surface with the LED’s facing downwards without protection. This to prevent damage to the
LEDs and the soft lens of the LEDs.
• While removing or installing the X-series tile always keep the LED side of the X-series tile parallel with the LED side of the
remaining neighboring X-series tiles. This to avoid any mechanical stress upon the corners of the X-series tiles.
• No force can be applied to the LEDs. Any LEDs damaged due to mechanical stress are not covered by the warranty.
• Safety and functional features of the display cannot be defeated.
• It is not allowed to climb or hang any additional equipment on the back of an X-series wall. Nothing is to be allowed to hang
from the cables of an X-series tile.
• Any failures must be immediately and appropriately dealt with (equipment returned to Barco). Failing equipment cannot be left
to run in a wall.
• No additional tools (hammers, pry-bars, etc.) are to be used to force handles or locks into place. All moving parts should be
managed by hand.
• Only Barco cables specified to be used with the X-series display are to be used to connect components in the X-series wall.
Further, care must be taken to connect signal only according to the installation manual.
• X-series tiles are not to be used in the vicinity of any equipment that is not CE and UL/ETL certified.
• When reconnecting components in an X-series tile, care must be taken to ensure that cables are carefully routed according to
the installation manual to prevent damage to the cables or other parts of the X-series tile.
• X-series tiles can be cleaned only in accordance to the procedures defined in the installation manual.
• The X-series display is an indoor product. Use the X-series tiles only in a dry area away from direct sunlight, dust and moisture.
Never install and use the X-series tiles in an outdoor environment.
• Ensure rigging hardware is able to handle the weight of the entire X-series with appropriate safety factors.
• External rigging hardware must be properly installed prior to hanging X-series tiles.
