Instructions:

• Read these instructions.

• Keep these instructions.

• Heed all warnings.

• Follow all instructions.

• Clean only with materials or chemicals that are inert, nonabrasive, noncorrosive and non-marking. Consult the manufacturer

for further advice should any doubts exist regarding any cleaning procedure.

• Do not block ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturers instructions.

• Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that

produce heat.

• Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding type plugs/sockets. If the provided sockets/plugs are damaged

then replacement of the defective parts must be undertaken immediately.

• Protect the power/data cords from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point

where they exit from the apparatus. Replace damaged power/data cords immediately.

• Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.

• Disconnect the power to this apparatus during lightning storms or provide suitable additional lightning protection. Unplug this

apparatus when unused for long period of time.

• Always unplug appliance from electrical outlet before cleaning or servicing.

• Refer all servicing to qualified service technicians/personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in

any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, the apparatus does not operate normally, or has b

1.3 Important warnings

Important warnings:

• Risk of electric shock:

Image 1-5

Risk of electrical shock

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.

The lightning flash with an arrowhead within a triangle is intended to tell the user that parts inside this product may cause a risk

of electrical shock to persons.

The exclamation point within a triangle is intended to tell the user that imp

ortant operating and/or servicing instructions are

included in the technical documentation for this equipment.

• Maximum ambient temperature:

The maximum ambient temperature for the LED wall is 40 °C, the minimum temperature is +0 °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 requ

ired.

• 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.

• ESD and LED’s:

LED components used in ILite devices are ESD (Electro-Static Discharg

e) sensitive. To prevent the possibility of destroying

LED components do not touch either in operation or while switched off.

• Risk of electric shock / Risk of fire:

To protect against risk of fire by overloading of power cables, the amount of ILite 3 tiles per power source cable is limited

depending on the used power net. A power source cable connected with a 230V power net and protected with 16A circuit

breakers can maximum provide 33 ILite 3 tiles with power. For a 190V power net is this maximum 27 tiles. Each power source

cable should be protected by a 16A rated circuit breaker.

Furthermore, the current that flows from tile to tile via the power/data linking blocks may not exceeds nine (9) ampere. Therefore,

the maximum amount of ILite 3 tiles in one column connected with the same power source cable is limited to 23 tiles in case of

a 230V power net. For a 190V power net is the maximum limit 19 tiles.

• 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 ac

cessible 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 syste

m (a power distribution system with a separate neutral and grounding

conductor) in order to avoid large ground currents loops due to voltage differences in the neutral conductor. The total electrical

installation should be protected by an appropriate rated disconnect switch, circuit breakers and Ground Fault Current Inter-

rupters. The installation shall be done accord

ing 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.

• 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 only with new ones. Never try to repair a power cord.

2.6 Power boxes

General

Depending on the size of the ILite display system, the power system has to be adapted. Therefore several sizes of power boxes are

available. For small and medium size ILite display systems the “Mono Phase Power Box” is used. For larger ILite display systems

the

re is a range of “Custom Power Boxes”. There is also a “Rental Power Box” available. Refer to the manual of the power box

used in the application for more information.

gitizer

General

The digitizer processes (image processing, conversion and conditioning) all source signals for digital distribution to every tile. The

digitizer may be accessed directly or via the control software (e.g. Director toolset). This software is designed as a user interface

to be used in conjunction with the digitizer and display. This can be used when connected to the digitizer through a serial RS232

connection. Refer to the manual of the digitizer for more information about the digitizer.

R5976695 ILITE 3 DISPLAY SYSTEM 27/04/2006

2. System Overview

2.8 Fiberlink system

General

The data signal coming out of the digitizer is carried from the digitizer to the display by a high-speed data link. To send such a high

density stream of data over long distances, a fiber optic cable is required. Barco offers a complete system: a transmitter, a cable

and a receiver.

Barco offers two different fiberlink systems: one for shorter distances, based on a multi mode optical fiber, and one for longer dis-

tances, based on a single mode optical fiber. Refer to the manual of the fiberlink system for more information about the fiberlink

system.

2.9 Control software

General

The control software is designed as a graphic user interface (GUI) and can be used to control and configure the digitizer as well as

the Barco LED wall via a PC (e.g. Director toolset). For more information refer to the manual of the control software.
