Notice on safety
This equ ipment is built in accordance w ith the requirements of the international safety standards IEC60950-1, EN60950-1,
UL60950-1 and CAN/CSA C22.2 No.60950-1, which are the safety standards of information technology equipmen t including
electrical bus iness equipment. Thes e safety standards impose im portant requirements on the use of safety critical co mponents,
materials and insulation, in order to protect the user or operator against risk o f electric shock and energy hazard and having access
to live parts. Safety standards also impose limits to the internal and external temperature rises, radiation levels, mechanical stability
and strength, e nclosure cons truction and protection against the risk of fire. Simulated single fault con dition testing ensures the
safety of the equipment to the user even when the equipment’s normal operation fails.
Caution

1.3 Important warnings
Important warnings:
Risk of electric shock:
Do n ot open. To reduce the r isk of electric shoc k, do not remove cov er (or back). No user-serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing
to qua lified service personnel.
Maximum and minimum ambient tem perature:
The maximum ambient temperature for the LED wall is 40°C (104°F), t he minimum temperature is 0°C (32°F).
High leakag e curren t:
The com bination of multiple tiles in an installation r esults in increased levels of leakage current. In order to a void risk of electric
shock due to high leakage current, proper grounding o f the installation is required.
Risk of personnel injury:
Secure all tiles in the rack. As a supplementary safeguard, and in order to pro tect against the risk of pers onnel injury, each tile
should be attached to the rack by a safety ca ble.
Flammable materials:

1. Safety
Keep flammable m aterials away from the installation (such as curtains). A lot of energy is transferred into heat. Th e 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 sho ck / Risk of fire:
To protect against risk of fire caused by overloading of power c ables:
• MAXIMU M 4 tiles may be connected in parallel in case of 110-180 VAC, 50-60Hz. Eac h power source cable supplying ma ximum
4 tiles should be protected by a circuit breaker or fuses r ated 16 A / 250 VA C (15 A / 250 VAC in the USA and Canada).
• MAXIMU M 7 tiles may be connected in parallel in case of 180-240 VAC, 50-60Hz. Each power source cable supplying maximum
7 tiles should be protected by a circuit breaker or fuses r ated 16 A / 250 VA C (15 A / 250 VAC in the USA and Canada).
Note that one V4i series tile requires 100-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz.
Disconnect d evice:
When the appliance inlets of the individual tiles are not accessible, the sock et outlets s upplying the rack shall be installed near the
equipment and be easily accessible, or a readily acces sible general disconnect device shall be incorporated in the fixed wiring.
This equipm ent MUST be earthed:
In order to protect against risk of electric shock, the installation should be p roperly grounded. Defeating the purpose of the gr ounding
type plug will expose you to the risk of electric shock.
Power sys tem:
It is recommended to use a TN-S power distribution system (a power distribution system with a separate neutral and grounding
conductor) in or der to avoid large ground current loops due to voltage differences in the neutral c onductor. The total electrical
installation should be protected by an appropriately rated disconnect switch, circuit breakers, over voltage protector and G round 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, H armonization Document for electrical installation of buildings. In G erm any VDE 0100 should be
adhered to. In Americ a, special attention should be given to the N ational Electrical Code, A NSI/N FPA 70.
