1.3 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 user-serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing

to qualiﬁed service personnel.

Maximum and minimum ambient temperature:

The maximum ambient temperature for the LED wall is 40°C, the minimum temperature is -20°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 current, 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 amount of air ﬂow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised. Proper ventilation must

be provided.

Risk of electric shock / Risk of ﬁ re:

To protect against risk of ﬁre caused by overloading of power cables, MAXIMUM 3 tiles may be connected in parallel. Each power

source cable supplying maximum 3 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, 50-60 Hz, 1.56 amps at 230 VAC.

Mechanical stress:

Use the SLite HD rental tiles in a hanging conﬁguration only. Maximum allowed SLite HD display height is 16 SLite tiles or 15 SLite

XP tiles tiles high. Never truss more than 16 SLite tiles or 15 SLite XP tiles tiles high.

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 MUST 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 EN 60364, the standard 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.

Data cables:

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

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

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

lightning or power conductors.

1.4 Important warnings concerning ﬂ ight cases

Important warnings concerning stacking/transporting SLite HD rental ﬂight cases

• Stack maximum two (2) SLite HD rental ﬂight cases high. Never higher.

• Surface on which ﬂight case is standing must be level to ensure that the total load is evenly spread out among the four wheels.

The surface must also be able to support the load safely.

• Before stacking or transporting ﬂight cases, check the wheels and their ﬁxation screws for wear or defects.

• Before stacking or transporting ﬂight cases, check that the SLite HD rentals are securely locked into the base of the ﬂight case.

• Before stacking or transporting ﬂight cases, check that the four lock handles on each ﬂight case are in good working order and

locked securely.

• When stacked, make sure the wheels of the upper ﬂight case are precisely positioned in the stacking dishes of the ﬂight case

below.

•Stackedﬂight cases may not be moved. Before stacking, the lower ﬂight case must already be in its ﬁnal resting position before

placing the second one upon it.

• Never stack loaded ﬂight cases in a truck or other transport medium, unless each ﬂight case is rigidly strapped.

• In the event of a wheel breaking, ﬂight cases must be rigidly strapped to prevent a stack collapsing.

• Use an appropriate forklift to raise ﬂight cases and take the necessary precautions to avoid personal injury.

2.1 Mechanical requirements for the SLite HD rental display

Weight

Do not underestimate the weight of a complete SLite HD rental display. Be sure that the ﬂoor or truss installation on which the

SLite HD rental display has to be installed is capable of handling ﬁve (5) times the complete load of the display. Note that one

SLite HD rental tile weighs approximately 60 kg (or 100 kg per square meter display). Do not forget to take into account the weight

of the ballast required in case of a base stand SLite HD rental display.

Levelled surface

The surface on which an SLite HD rental display has to be installed must be levelled. Never install an SLite HD rental display on an

inclined surface.

WARNING: Ensure that, when installing a base stand SLite HD rental display upon a platform, the top of the

LED-wall does not reach more then 20 meters above ground level.

Ballast

Depending on the expected wind load, 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. Consult chapter “Ballast values” or use the “Ballast calculator”

tool available on Barco’s secured web site to calculate the minimum ballast you require for safe installation of your SLite HD rental

display.

4. Components of an SLite HD rental tile

4.1 SLite HD rental frame

Introduction SLite HD rental frame

The SLite HD rental frame is made of aluminium proﬁles and stainless steel to reduce weight without losing strength. This strong

frame allows you to build SLite HD LED-walls up to 12 tiles high stacked or 16 SLite tiles or 15 SLite XP tiles high trussed. The

SLite HD rental frame contains four mounting holes, one in every corner, to attach an SLite tile.

The top of the SLite HD rental frame is equipped with two big cones for easy and fast positioning of the upper rental frame. The bot-

tom corners of the SLite HD rental frame contain a solid locking mechanism operated with a ﬁxed rugged handle, no tools required.

These locking mechanisms and the big cones ensure a fast and secure attachment between the upper and lower tile. The rear right

side of the SLite HD rental frame is equipped with a smaller rugged handle which operates the side locking mechanism to secure

the rental tiles sideways with the neighboring tile.

All sides of the SLite HD rental frame are provided with small positioning cones and planes to ensure a precise positioning between

the tiles. It’s important to keep those cones and planes clean, otherwise seams will be visible after installation of the rental frame

into the LED-wall.

The left and right rear sides of the SLite HD rental frame contain two holes which are used to install the stacker system in case of

a base stand SLite HD display conﬁguration. Furthermore the left and right side of the frame are equipped with a fold out carrying

handle.
