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 0 °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.

ESD and LED’s:

LED components used in ILite displays are ESD (Electro-Static Discharge) sensitive. To prevent the possibility of destroying LED

components do not touch either in operation or while switched off.

Risk of electric shock / Risk of fire: To protect against risk of fire caused by overloading of power cables, MAXIMUM 6 may be

connected in parallel. Each power source cable supplying maximum 6 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 ILite tile requires 200-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz, 1.45 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 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.

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.

1.4 Important warnings concerning flight cases

Important warnings concerning stack and transport ILite rental flight cases

• Maximum stack two (2) ILite rental flight cases high. Never higher.

• Surface on which flight case is standing must be level to ensure that the total load is evenly spread out among the four wheels.

The surface must also be able to support the load safely.

• Before stacking or transporting flight cases, check the wheels and their fixation screws for wear or defects.

• Before stacking or transporting flight cases, check the two lock handles on each flight case are in good working order and locked

securely.

• When stacked, make sure the wheels of the upper flight case are precisely positioned in the stacking dishes of the flight case

below.

• Stacked flight cases may not be moved. Before stacking, the lower flight case must already be in its final resting position before

placing the second upon it.

• Never stack loaded flight cases in a truck or other transport medium, unless each flight case is rigidly strapped tight.

• In the event of a wheel breaking, flight cases must be rigidly strapped tight to prevent a stack collapsing.

• Use an appropriate forklift to raise flight cases and take the necessary precautions to avoid personnel injury.

2. Installation requirements

2.1 Installation requirements for the ILite rental display

Weight

Do not underestimate the weight of a complete ILite rental display. Be sure that the floor or truss installation on which the ILite rental

display has to be installed is capable of handling five (5) times the complete load of the display. Note that one ILite rental tile weights

approximately 15 kg (or 75 kg per square meter display). Do not forget to take into account the weight of the ballast required in case

of a base stand ILite rental display.

Leveled surface

The surface on which an ILite rental display has to be installed must be leveled. Never install an ILite rental display on an inclined

surface.

Ballast

Depending on 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”, 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 ILite rental display.

4. Components of an ILite rental tile

4.1 ILite rental frame

Introduction ILite rental frame

The ILite rental frame is made of an aluminium structure and stainless steel to reduce weight without losing strength. This strong

frame allows you to build ILite LED-walls up to 12 tiles high stacked or 15 tiles high trussed.

There exist two generations of ILite rental frames. The second generation (B of image 4-2) has a higher preci-

sion, which result in seamless tiles. Both generations are fully compatible and interchangeable.

A B

Image 4-2

A: First generation ILite rental frame (R9850610); B: Second generation ILite rental frame (R9850612).

The top of the ILite rental frame is equipped with two identical locking mechanism which ensure a fast and secure attachment

between the upper and lower tile, no tools required. The rear right side of the ILite rental frame is equipped with a small handle

which operates the side locking mechanism to secure the rental tile sideways with the neighboring tile.

All sides of the ILite rental frame are provided with small positioning pins, holes and planes to ensure a precise positioning between

the tiles. It’s important to keep those pins, hole

s and planes clean, otherwise seams will be visible after installation of the rental

frame into the LED-wall.

The bottom corners at the rear of the ILite rental frame are provided with mounting holes to insert the stacker mushrooms, which

are required to install the stacker system.
