2.3 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 use r-serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing

to qua liﬁed service personnel.

Maximum and minimum ambient temperature:

The maximum ambient tem perature for the LED wall is 50 °C, the minimum temperature is -35 °C.

High leakage current:

The com bination of multiple tiles in an installation results in increased levels of leakage c urrent. In order to avoid risk of electric

shock due to high leakage c urrent, 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 am ount of air ﬂow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised. Proper ventilation m ust

be provided.

Risk of electric shock / Risk of ﬁre:

To protect against risk of ﬁre caused by overloading of power cables, M AX IMUM six (6) tiles may b e connected in parallel. Each

power source cable supplying m axim um six (6) tiles 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 T-20 tile requires 200-240 VAC, 5 0-60 Hz, 1.56 amps at 230 VAC.

Mechanical stress:

Use the T-20 rental tiles in a hanging conﬁguration only. M aximum allowed T-20 display height is 10 tiles high. Never truss more

than 10 tiles high.

Disconnect device:

When the appliance inlets of the individual tiles are n ot accessible, the socket outlets s upplying the rack shall be installed near the

equipment and be easily ac cessible, or a readily a cces sible gen eral disconnect device shall be incorporated in the ﬁxed wiring.

This equipment MUST be earthed:

In order to protect ag ainst risk of electric shock, the installation should be p roperly grounded. Defeating the purpose of the grounding

type plug will expose you to the risk o f elec tric shock.

Power system:

It is recommended to use a TN -S power distributio n system (a power distribution system with a separate neutral and grounding

conductor) in order to avoid large groun d current loops du e to voltage differences in the n eutral c onductor. The total electrical

installation should be protectedby an appropriately rateddisconnect switch, circuitbreakers, over voltageprotectorand G round Fault

Current Interrupters. T he installation shall be done according to the local electrical installation codes. In Europe s pecial attention

should be g iven to EN 60364, the standard for electrical installation of buildings. In G ermany VDE 0100 should be adhered to. In

America, special atte ntion should be given to t he National Electrical Code, ANS I/NFPA 70.

Mains cords:

The pow er cords de livered with this system have special properties for safety. They are no t user serviceable. If the po w er cords are

damaged, replace them only with new ones. Nev er try to repair a power cord.

Data cables:

The data cables provided with this sy stem have special properties for safety. They are not user serviceable. If the data cables a re

damaged, replace them only with new ones . Never try to repair a data c able. Per requirements of the National Electrical Code®

• T-20 tiles are not to be exposed to any element or situation that will cause any pa rt of the display to heat beyond what o ccurs

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 T-20 tiles.

• Power c onnected to the T-20 tiles mus t meet the speciﬁcations outlined in the installation manual.

• Neverplace an T-20 tileupon a surfacewiththe LED’sfacing downwards. This topreventdamage tothe LED’sand the sh aders.

• T-20 tiles which are not installed and which are not securely stored in an T-20 ﬂight case, m ay only be placed vertically upon

ﬂat surfaces free of clutter.

• No force can be applied t o the LED ’s. Any LED ’s dam aged 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 T-20 wall. Nothing is to be allowed to hang from

the cables of a n T-20 tile.

• Any failures must be imm ediately and appropriately dealt with (equipment returned to B arco?). Failing eq uipment cannot be

left t o r un in a wall.

• No additional tools (h amm ers, pr y-bars, etc.) are to be used to force handles or locks into place . All moving parts should be

managed by hand. Only a 8 mm Allen wrench may be used.

• Only Barco cables s peciﬁed to be used with the T-20 display are to be used to connect componen ts in an T -20 wall. Further,

care must be ta ken to con nect signal only acco rding to the installation manual.
