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 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 temper-
ature 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:
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/X4: 0.55 A at 230 VAC, X1.6/X1.9: 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
