1. DLITE PLASTIC HANDLES MAY B REAK OFF
DUE TO Y EARS OF EXPOS URE TO VARYING
CLIMATE CONDITIONS
1.1 General
Phenom enon
The plastic handles of some DLite tiles may break during handling.
Cause
After years of exposure to varying climate conditions the plastic materi
al of the handles of
all types of DLite tiles becomes fragile.
Solution
Replacement of both plastic handles of the DLite tiles with two new metal handles. Barco
offers a spare part kit which contains 50 metal DLite handles and 100 suitable replacement
screws to upgrade 25 DLite tiles. The order number of the spare part kit with metal DLite
handles is R860883K. This Info-T contains the proper instructions for replacement of the
plastic DLite handles.
Since the handles are also the attachment points for the safety cable of the DLite tile it is
mandatory that the handles are replaced as soon as possible for all type of DL ite tiles in
either rental or fixed installations.
Scope
All type of DL ite tiles with plastic handles (e.g. left side of image 1-1). This Info-T is not
applicable upon DLite tiles with moulded handles (e.g. right side o f image 1-1).

1.2 Replacement of the DLite handles
This procedure describes how to replace the handles of a DLite tile while
the t ile is mounted in the DLite display (on site). The same procedure
is applicable upon unmounted DLite tiles (e.g. at a workshop). The in-
structions regarding the safety cable can be omitted when replacing the
handles of unmounted DLite tiles (e.g. at a workshop).
WARNING: Replace one handle at a time so that the DLite tile is always se-
cured with a safety cable through the remaining handle. The replacement
should be done as soon as possible to avoid potential hazard to persons
and or property.
Necessary tools
4 mm Allen wrench (included in the kit).
Necessary parts
• Two metal handles per DLite tile.
• Two M5x10 hexagon socket head cap screws per handle.
How to replace the handles of the DLite tile?
1. Make sure that the DLite tile is secured with a safety cable. The safety cable (reference
1 of image 1-2) must pass through the upper handle (reference 2 of image 1-2) to form
a closed loop with the support structure of the DLite display.

Allen wrench.

3. Install the lower metal handle (reference 5 of image 1-4) as illustrated. Tighten the
handle with two M5x10 replacement hexagon socket head cap screws (reference 6 of
image 1-4) until it is firmly secured. Use the included 4 mm Allen wrench.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: Do not reuse the longer screws from the plastic handle to
secure the metal handle. The metal handles are less thick and thus the screws
are shorter.
