Federal Communications Commission (FCC Statement)

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC R ules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause

harmful interference , and (2) this device must a ccept any interference that may cause undesired operation.

This equipment has been tested and found to c omply w ith the limits for a class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules.

These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection aga inst harm ful interference when the equipm ent is operated in a comm ercial

environment. This eq uipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with

the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area may

be restricted in its sale but the following warning shall be included in the instructions for use:

Warning : This is a class A p roduct. In a domestic env ironment this pr

oduct may cause radio interference in which case the u ser m ay be

required to take adequate meas ures.

Guaran tee and Compensation

Barco provides a guarantee relating to perfect man ufacturing as part of the legally stipulated terms of guarantee. On re ceipt, the purchaser

must immediately inspect all delivered goods for dam age incurred during transport, as well as for material and manufacturing faults Barc o

must be informed immediately in writing of any complaints.

The period of guarantee begins on the date of transfer of risks, in the case of special systems and software on the date of c omm issioning,

at latest 30 days after the transfer of risks. In the event of justiﬁed notice of com plaint, Barco can repair the fault or p rovide a replacement

at its own discretion within an appropriate period. If this measure proves to be impos sible or unsuccessful, the purchaser can demand a

reduction in the purchase price or cancellation of the contract. All o ther claims, in particular those relating to compensation for direct or

indirect damage, and also damage attributed to the operation of s oftware as well as to other services provided by Barco, being a component

of the system or independent service, will be deemed invalid provided the dam age is n ot pro ven to be attributed to the absence of properties

guaranteed in writing or due to the intent or gross negligence or p art of Barco.

If the pur chaser or a third party carries out modiﬁcations or repairs on goods delivered by Barco, or if the goods are ha ndled incorrectly,

in particular if t he systems are commissioned operated incorrectly or if, after the transfer of risks, the goods are subject to inﬂuences not

agreed upon in the contract, all guarantee claims of the purchaser will be rendered invalid. Not included in the guarantee coverage a re

system failures which are attributed to programs or special electronic c ircuitry provided by the purchaser, e.g. interfaces. Normal wear as

well as normal maintenance are not subject to the guarantee provided by Barco either.

The environmental conditions as well a

s the servicing and m ainten ance reg ulations speciﬁed in the this manual must be com plied with by

the customer.

1.1 Safety g uidelines

Installation personnel

This installation must be performed by authorized and qualiﬁed technical personnel only.

Accredited safety ofﬁcers must ensure the safety o f the site, construction, assembly, connection, use, dismantling, transport etc. of

such safety critical systems.

Caution

Installation should be performed on ly after you are thoroughly familiar with all of the proper safety checks and installation instructions.

To do otherwise increases the risk of hazards and injury to the user.

Assembly parts are designed for intended us e only in conjunction with Barco LED-walls.

Do not m odify and/or replicate any component. B arco uses speciﬁc materials and m anufacturing processes in order to achieve part

strength. Consult Barco for assistance with custom applications.

Always follow B arco installation instructions. C ontact B arco if you should have any question re garding the safety of an application.

The manufacturer assumes no liability for incorrect, inadequate, irresponsible or unsafe assembly of

system s.

Product care

Structural & mounting c ompo nents s hould be kept clean, lubricated (only if recommend ed), coated properly, and otherwise main-

tained in a manner consistent with part design. Barco products must be used in a manner consistent with their design and inspected

on a routine basis for security, wear, deformation, corrosion and any other circumstances that may affect the load handling capab ility

of the part.

Barco recommends inspections at regular intervals for a ll installations and increasing in frequency for more critical installations. If

a part is found to have damage, w hich may cause a decreas e in load capability, the part must be removed for service or replaced

immediately.

Under no circums tances are Barco parts repairable by anyone other than B arco.

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 temp erature for the AEC-4000 is 50 °C, the minimum temperature is -35 °C.

Data cab les:

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

damaged, replace them o nly with new ones . Never try to repair a data c able. Pe r requirem ents of the National E lectrical Code®

in the USA , the length o f a data cab le must not exceed 42 m (140 feet). Avoid exposure of data cables to accidental contact with

lightning or power conductors.

2.1 General functionality

Introduction

The Ambient Env ironment Controller (AEC ) is a device containing four light senso rs. These sensors are used to measure the ambient

environment luminance. The control of the AEC is integrated into the software of the Control Software (E.g. RMS-1). T he A EC-4000

has been specially developed to be integrated in to a DB -x20 or SLite LED-wall display. The AE C-4000 may b e incorporated to a

Barco LED-wall, measuring the environmental light conditions through out the day. The modular concept of the AEC-4000 gives

rise to con ﬁ gurations with maximum ﬂexibility and controllability. The built-in intelligence of the control s oftware allows the system to

detect and conﬁgure itself. The mechan ical ﬂexibility and s mall form enables easy installation a nd quick servicing. AE C-4000 units

are only to be used in conjunc tion with a Barco LED-wall. The Control Software (E.g. RMS -1) has an intelligence control algorithm

depending on which the brightness of LED wall is calculated according to the luminance input from A EC-4000

The comma nd data s tream of the tiles is somewhere interrupted to insert the AEC-4000 in series with the tiles. Where this interruption

happens does not m atter. The physical location of the A EC-4000 is m ostly on top or at the side of the display.

The Y cable used to c onnect AEC-4000 with other tiles has two paths. One path transmits DV I video signal. T his path doesn’t enter

the AEC-4000 and directly goes to the next tile. The second path transmits the command signal (RS422) and power supp ly for the

AEC-4000. The signal in this path will enter the AE C-4000 and then transfer to the next tile (only RS422).

How to mount the AEC-4000 upon the SLite display?

1. Fasten the AEC-4000 unit upo n the SLite display.

2. Interrupt the data path be tween two SLite tiles nearby the AEC-4000.

3. Reinstall the data path between the two SLite tiles using an MDR “Y” cable.

4. Connect the MDR “Y” cab le with the A EC-4000 unit.

Caution: Make sure that the thumb screw of the circular plug of the AEC cable is tightly fasten.

2.4 Addressing, Calibrating and Sensing

Addressing, Calibrating and Sensing

Addressing, calibrating and sensing are done with the C ontrol Software (E.g. RM S- 1). Instructions for addressing, calibrating and

sensing are e xplained in the user guide of the Control Software (E.g. RMS-1).

1. Sens ors failure.

2. I²C o r EE PROM failure. No communication with AEC unit.

3. The output luminance of s ome sensors is not acceptable.

4. The gr een AEC calibration LEDs inside the A EC unit can’t

be turned ON or OF F.

Replace AEC-4000 header.

The t ile units after the AEC-4000 can’t be detected and given

address.

1. Replace AEC-4000 header and check if it works. If not,

proceed with next step.

2. Replace the c ables conn ected in the path of the

AEC-4000 unit.
