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 important 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 MiPIX control units 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.
•
ESD and LED’s:
LED components used in MiPIX blocks are ESD (Electro-Static Discharge) 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, MAXIMUM 10 MiPIX controller units are allowed per power source
cable. The power source cable should be protected by a circuit breaker or fuses rated 16 A / 250 VAC.
The controller must always be installed horizontally. This to prevent parts falling in or out the controller through the air channel,
which can be pernicious.
•
Disconnect device:
When the appliance inlets of the individual controller units 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 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 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.
•
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.
