1.3 Important warnings

Important warnings:

Risk of electric shock:

Do not open. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove cov er (or back). No user-serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing

to qualiﬁed service personnel.

Maximum and minimum ambient temperature:

The m aximum ambient temperature for the LED wall is 50 °C, the minimum temper ature is -35 °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 c urrent, proper grounding o f the installation is required.

Risk of personnel injury:

Secure all tiles in the rack. A s a supplementary safeguard, and in order to protect against the risk of pers onnel injury, eac h tile

should be attached to the ra ck by a safety cable.

Flammable materials:

Keep ﬂam mable 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 m ust

be provided.

Risk of electric shock / Risk of ﬁre:

To protect against risk of ﬁr e caused by overloading of power cables, MAXIMUM 6 may be c onnected in parallel. E ach power source

cable supplying maximum 6 s hould be protected by a circuit breaker or fuses rated 16 A / 250 VA C (15 A / 250 VAC in the USA and

Canada). Note that one T F-10 tile requires 200-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz, 1.98 amps at 230 VA C.

Disconnect device:

When the appliance inlets of the individual tiles are n ot a ccessible, the socket outlets supplying the rack shall be installed ne ar the

equipment and be eas ily accessible, or a readily accessible gen eral disconnect device shall be incorporated in the ﬁxed w iring.

This equipment MUST be earthed:

In or der to protect ag ainst risk of electric shock, the installation should be p roperly grounded. Defeating the purp ose of the gr ounding

type plug will expose yo u to the risk of electric shock.

Power system:

It is recommended to use a TN-S power distribution system (a power distribution s ystem with a separate neutral and gr ounding

conductor) in order to avoid large ground current loops due to vo ltage differences in the n eutral conductor. The total electrical

installatio n should be protected by an appropriately rated disconnect s witch, circuit breakers, over voltage protector and Ground Fault

Current Interrupters. The installation shall be done according to the local elec trical installation codes. In Europe special 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, spec ial attention should be given to the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.

Mains cords:

2. Installation requirements

2.1 Mechanical requirements

Support structure

The support structure has to be provided and installed by the c ustomer because they vary from system to system. Although, the

following must be taken into account and must be precisely calc ulated on individual basis:

1. Weight tolerances : Ens ure that the support structure and the ﬂoor on which or the wall against which the support structure

has to be installed, is able to handle the complete weight of the ﬁxed TF-10 LE D display.

2. Environmental conditions : Humidity, wind, temperatures, rain, etc.

3. Location : O utdoor, altitude, etc.

4. Ground stability

5. Front clearances : For optimal im pact ensure that the re is s ufﬁcient free area in front of the TF -10 display and respe ct the

maximum viewing distance.

6. Local regulations regarding such installations

WARNING: Never construct a TF-10 display if there is uncertainty regarding the stability of an installation or

the load holding capabilities. If there are doubts on a systems viability, consult Barco for advice on profes-

sional rigging organizations.

Individual basis

Support structures m ust be assessed on an individual basis. Never cons truct a wall if there is uncertainty regarding the stability of

an installation or the load holding capabilities. If there are doubts on a system’s viability, consult Barco for advise on pr o(4x6es sional

rigging organizations.

Example of a support structure

The support structure below example is pure illustrative for a H5 x V4 TF-10 display. Several variants of sup-

port structures are possible for the same size of a TF-10 display. Contact Barco for more information.

Image 2-1

It’s recommended to integrate a service platform in the support structure. Such a platform allows a fast and

easy intervention, if required.

CAUTION: A lot of energy is transferred into heat, which requires a certain amount of airﬂow at the rear of

the TF-10 display. For that sufﬁcient free space should be available behind the display to ensure a good ven-

tilation. The higher the display the more free space is required.
