R5906024 X-SERIES 27/02/2017

1. Safety

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 Pro tection 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 ﬂ ammable 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 LE D’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 o f electric sho ck / 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

100-180 VAC

11 tiles

180-240 VAC

21 tiles

100-180 VAC

11 tiles

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 M US T 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:

R5906024 X-SERIES 27/02/2017

1. Safety

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 10 tiles X2/X4 or 9 tiles X1.6/X1.9. 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.

• 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 ac

cording 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 ﬂ ight 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.

R5906024 X-SERIES 27/02/2017

1. Safety

• 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 10 tiles X2/X4 or 9 tiles X1.6/X1.9.

• 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.

Overview

• Mechanical requirements for the X-series display

• Electrical requirements for the X-series display

• System requirements for the Control software

2.1 Mechanical requirements fo r the X-series display

Weight

Do not underestimate the weight of a complete X-series display. Be sure that the truss installation on which the X-series tiles have

to be installed is capable of handling ﬁve (5) times the complete load of the display. Note that one X-series tile weighs up to 6.5 kg

(or 40 kg (88.2 lbs) per square meter display).

Truss installation

Be sure that the truss installation on which the X-series tiles have to be installed is capable of handling ﬁve (5) times the complete

load of the display.

Base stand installation

Be sure that the ﬂoor is capable to bear the minimum exerted ground pressure. Do not forget to take into account the weight of the

ballast required in case of a base stand X-series rental display. Use the “Ballast calculator” tool (for more information, see “Ballast”

hereunder) to ﬁnd out the exerted ground pressure with the required ballast weight.

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. Use the “Ballast calculator” tool available on Barco’s secured web site to calculate the

minimum ballast you require for safe installation of your X-series display.

If the “Ballast calculator” tool is not available, the tables in this manual (see ....) can be consulted for indicative values of ballast and

ground pressure.

Levelled surface

The surface on which an X-series display has to be installed must be levelled. Never install an X-series display on an inclined

surface.

2.2 Electrical requirements for the X-series display

Power requirements

One X-series 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. Note that one

X2 tile corresponds with a display surface of 0.16 m² and one X1.6/1.9 tile corresponds with a display surface of 0.18 m². Power

cables are used to link the power fro

m tile to tile. However, MAXIMUM (see table under 7.2) may be connected in parallel. So, one

power source cable has to be provided per (see table under 7.2). Every power source cable should be protected by a circuit breaker

4.2 X-series truss setup accessories

Truss setup accessories

X-series truss beams are required to set up an X-series display in a hanging conﬁguration. Barco offers three sizes of X-series truss

beams, namely the dual (2x), triple (3x) and quad (4x) truss beam. These truss beams cover a width of respectively two, three and

four X-series tiles. Each truss beam is equipped with two or more lifting eyes.

In order to build the X-series display, the tiles must be connected using connection pieces. Four types of standard connection pieces

are available as well as four types of advanced (rental) connection pieces(see also "Overview of standard connection piece types",

page 19 and "Overview of advanced (rental) connection piece types", page 20).
