1. Safety & Environmental Information
If the LED screen would loosen from the back plate (for example, because of wrongfully used adhesive or back plate), you must cut
the power to the LED screen.
In this case, let the LED screen be repaired by quali
fi
ed service personnel.

Proper usage
Proper usage of R-Series Products
•
No part of the R-series product can come in contact with any type of corrosive substance.
•
Using the R-series product in an environment with high corrosive gasses (e.g. Sulphur) can lead to discoloration of the materi-
als. This discoloration gives a change in brightness of the product. This could lead to uniformity differences and possibly also
to failures. Each use of the product in this kind of environment needs to be checked up-front with the supplier.
•
R-series products are to be used in environments meeting the operating speci
fi
cations.
•
R-series products are not to be used in environments that are subject to airborne contaminants such as that produced by smoke
machines (cracked oil) or similar (these deposit a thin layer of greasy residue upon the LEDs optics, degrading performance).
•
R-series products are not to be exposed to extreme localized heat or cold exceeding the temperature speci
fi
cations.
•
R-series products are not to be exposed to any element or situation that will cause any part of the display to heat beyond
what occurs during normal operation. Such situations include but are not limited to lasers, ultrasonic vibration, or any type of
substance that prevents proper ventilation and heat radiation of the R-series sheets.
•
Power connected to the R-series products must meet the speci
fi
cations outlined in the installation manual.
•
Avoid any accidental bumping of the sheet edges while installing or removing the R-series products. Since LEDs of the R-series
products are mounted close to the edges of the LED sheet, which is unavoidable in the design, the edges of the R-series
products become sensitive for mechanical damage. Therefore it is required to handle the R-series products with care at all
times.
•
Never place an R-series product upon a surface with the LEDs facing downwards without protection. This to prevent damage
to the LEDs.
•
R-series products which are not installed and which are not securely stored in an R-series wooden crate (large sizes) or card-
board box (smaller sizes), may only be placed horizontally upon
fl
at surfaces free of clutter.
•
No force can be applied to the LEDs. Any LEDs damaged due to mechanical stress are not covered by the warranty.
•
Safety and functional features of the screen may not be defeated.
•
Nothing is allowed to hang from the cables of an R-series product.
•
Any failures must be immediately and appropriately dealt with (equipment returned to Barco). Failing equipment cannot be left
to run in an LED screen.
•
No additional tools (hammers, pry-bars, etc.) are to be used to force LED products into place. All moving parts should be
managed by hand.
•
Only Barco cables speci
fi
ed to be used with the R-series products are to be used to connect components in the R-series screen.
Further, care must be taken to connect signal only according to the installation manual.
•
R-series products are not to be used in the vicinity of any equipment that is not CE and UL/ETL certi
fi
ed.
•
R-series products are not to be transported for any distance in containers other than Barco wooden crates or Barco single unit
packaging. Further, even the use of Barco packaging material does not guarantee the R-series products against damage due to
excessive force of impacts. All warranty claims regarding damaged R-series products due to incorrect packing will be rendered
invalid.
•
R-series products are not to be connected to any non-Barco equipment.
•
When reconnecting components in an R-series product, care must be taken to ensure that cables are carefully routed according
to the installation manual to prevent damage to the cables or other parts of the R-series product.
•
R-series products can be cleaned only in accordance to the procedures de
fi
ned in the R-series service manual.
•
Ensure rigging hardware is able to handle the weight of the entire R-series products with appropriate safety factors.
•
External rigging hardware must be properly installed prior to hanging R-series products.
•
When lifting LED sheets, make sure to lift every sheet in a symmetrical way. The forces should be evenly distributed over the
whole width of the LED sheet. Asymmetrical load must be avoided at all time.
•
Check if every R-Series LED sheet in the setup is used according to the wind speed table (see installation manual). Contact
Barco if needed.
