1.3 Important warnings
Important warnings:
Risk of electric shock:
Do not open. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove LED board from tile. 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 (104°F), the minimum temperature is 0°C (32°F).
X-series tiles have an internal temperature sensor that lowers the brightness of the tile when internal temperature is too high.
The brightness will return to normal when the internal temperature has cooled sufficiently.
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. If this product is connected to the mains through the power box from Barco this
protection device is already incorporated and no extra measures need to be taken. If this product is connected to the mains through a
power distribution box from another 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.
ESD and LED's:
Safety

5R5906676 /01 X-series
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.
Risk of electric shock / Risk of fire:
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
X1.6 100-180 VAC 8 tiles
X1.6 180-240 VAC 15 tiles
X1.9 100-180 VAC 10 tiles
X1.9 180-240 VAC 17 tiles
X2 100-180 VAC 11 tiles
X2 180-240 VAC 21 tiles
X4 100-180 VAC 11 tiles
X4 180-240 VAC 21 tiles
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, 16 A, 50-60 Hz, X2: 0.55 A at 230 VAC, X1.6: 0.85 A 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 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.
LED's:
The LED's 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 LED's. Use your finger nails to press upon the framework of the shader between the LED's (not upon
the LED's) 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 a base stand configuration is 9 tiles X1.x or 10 tiles X2. The maximum height of a X-series
display in a hanging (truss) configuration is 16 tiles.
1.4 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.
•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 LED's optics, degrading performance).
•X-series tiles are not to be exposed to extreme localized heat or cold exceeding the temperature specifications.
Safety

R5906676 /01 X-series6
•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 LED’s
and the soft lens of the LED’s.
•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 LED’s. Any LED’s 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.
•X-series tiles are not to be transported for any distance in containers other than custom flight cases or Barco single unit or multiple unit
packaging. Further, even the use of custom flight cases or packaging material does not guarantee the X-series tiles against damage
due to excessive force of impacts. X-series packing material can be ordered at Barco. All warranty claims regarding damaged X-
seriess due to incorrect packing will be rendered invalid.
•X-series tiles are not to be connected to any non-Barco equipment.
•When hanging X-series tiles, only Barco X-series trusses can be used and they must be installed and connected according to the
manual. Improper hanging of X-series tiles can result in excessive forces on the structural components of the X-series tiles.
•When stacking or hanging X-series tiles, the guidelines outlined in the installation manual must be followed to prevent movement of
the display (including tipping). Further, X-series tiles are only to be installed vertically. Any tipping of a display will cause undue stress
on the structural components of the X-series tiles, and could even allow the X-series wall to fall.
•When stacking X-series tiles, X-series tiles can be stacked up to 2 tiles high before a Barco X-series stacker must be used.
•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.
•Do not hang more than 16 tiles (X2: 6.4 m ; X1.6 / X1.9: 7.2 m) tall with the integral rigging hardware.
•Do not stack more than 9 tiles X1.x or 10 tiles X2.
•Barco supplies a variety of stacking and hanging accessories for screens up to 16 tiles tiles hanging. Hanging displays > 6.4 m / 7.2 m
tall require an auxiliary frame system not supplied by Barco.
•Handle is intended for carrying a single tile only. Do not use for safety, tie-off, climbing, or lifting.
•The small holes on the X-series frame can be used as a safety attachment point.
