How to realize the power cabling of an ILite display ?
1. Install the power box nearby the ILite rental display. Ensure the power box provides as much power circuits as required to
energize the display in a safe manner. If necessary, install several power boxes. See manual of the used power box for installation
instructions.
2. Connect a power source cable coming from the power box with the C20 plug of an ILite power split cable.
Note: Depending on the type of used power box, a multi power cable in combination with a spider connector is inserted between
the power box and the power source cable leading to the power split cable of the first ILite tile. See manual of the used
power box to realize the cabling between power box and ILite display.
3. Connect the C13 plug of the power split cable with one of the tiles in the LED-display. Start with a tile at the bottom.
4. Connect an other power split cable with the previous installed power split cable and plug the C13 plug into the power socket of
the tile above.
5. Repeat step 4 until maximum 6 ILite tiles are connected with the same power source cable coming from the power box.
Warning: To protect against risk of fire by overloading of power cables, the amount of ILite rental tiles per power source cable
is limited. Never connect more than 6 ILite rental tiles with a power source cable.
Tip: Create as much as possible vertical power branches of 6 tiles high. Only include tiles of neighboring columns in case
the power branch is less than 6 tiles high.
6. Repeat from step 2 until all ILite rental tiles are provided with power.
