1. Safety
1.4 Proper usage
Proper usage of X-series tiles
• No part of the X-series tile can come in contact with any type of moisture.
• No part of the X-series tile can come in contact with any type of abrasive.
• No part of the X-series tile can come in contact with any type of dust.
• No part of the X-series tile can come in contact with any type of corrosive substance.
• Using the LED product in an environment with high corrosive gasses (e.g. Sulphur) can lead to discoloration of the materials.
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.
• X-series tiles are to be used in environments meeting the operating speci fi cations.
• X-series tiles 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 LED’s optics, degrading performance).
• X-series tiles are not to be exposed to extreme localized heat or cold exceeding the temperature speci fi cations.
• X-series tiles 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 X-series tiles.
• X-series tiles are not to be exposed to circumstances where moisture can condense or collect on any components.
• Power connected to the X-series tiles must meet the speci fi cations outlined in the installation manual.
• Avoid any accidental bumping of the tile corners while installing or removing the X-series tiles. Since LED’s of the X-series tiles
are mounted near by the edges of the LED boards, which is unavoidable in the design of a high resolution LED-wall, the corners
of the X-series tiles become sensitive for mechanical damage. Because of that it is required to handle the X-series tiles with
care at all times.
• Never place an X-series tile upon a surface with the LED’s facing downwards without protection. This to prevent damage to the
LED’s and the soft lens of the LED’s.
• While removing or installing the X-series tile always keep the LED side of the X-series tile parallel with the LED side of the
remaining neighboring X-series tiles. This to avoid any mechanical stress upon the corners of the X-series tiles.
• No force can be applied to the LED’s. Any LED’s damaged due to mechanical stress are not covered by the warranty.
• Safety and functional features of the display cannot be defeated.
• It is not allowed to climb or hang any additional equipment on the back of an X-series wall. Nothing is to be allowed to hang
from the cables of an X-series tile.
• Any failures must be immediately and appropriately dealt with (equipment returned to Barco). Failing equipment cannot be left
to run in a wall.
• No additional tools (hammers, pry-bars, etc.) are to be used to force handles or locks into place. All moving parts should be
managed by hand.
• Only Barco cables speci fi ed to be used with the X-series display are to be used to connect components in the X-series wall.
Further, care must be taken to connect signal only according to the installation manual.
• X-series tiles are not to be used in the vicinity of any equipment that is not CE and UL/ETL certi fi ed.
• X-series tiles are not to be transported for any distance in containers other than custom fl ight cases or Barco single unit or
multiple unit packaging. Further, even the use of custom fl ight cases or packaging material does not guarantee the X-series
tiles against damage due to excessive force of impacts. X-series packing material can be ordered at Barco. All warranty claims
regarding damaged X-seriess due to incorrect packing will be rendered invalid.
• X-series tiles are not to be connected to any non-Barco equipment.
• When hanging X-series tiles, only Barco X-series trusses can be used and they must be installed and connected according to
the manual. Improper hanging of X-series tiles can result in excessive forces on the structural components of the X-series tiles.
• When stacking or hanging X-series tiles, the guidelines outlined in the installation manual must be followed to prevent movement
of the display (including tipping). Further, X-series tiles are only to be installed vertically. Any tipping of a display will cause
undue stress on the structural components of the X-series tiles, and could even allow the X-series wall to fall.
• When stacking X-series tiles, X-series tiles can be stacked up to 2 tiles high before a Barco X-series stacker must be used.
• When reconnecting components in an X-series tile, 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 X-series tile.
• X-series tiles can be cleaned only in accordance to the procedures de fi ned in the installation manual.
• The X-series display is an indoor product. Use the X-series tiles only in a dry area away from direct sunlight, dust and moisture.
Never install and use the X-series tiles in an outdoor environment.
• Ensure rigging hardware is able to handle the weight of the entire X-series with appropriate safety factors.
• External rigging hardware must be properly installed prior to hanging X-series tiles.
• Do not hang more than 16 tiles (X2: 6.4 m ; X1.6 / X1.9: 7.2 m) tall with the integral rigging hardware.
• Do not stack more than 10 tiles X2/X4 or 9 tiles X1.6/X1.9.
• Barco supplies a variety of stacking and hanging accessories for screens up to 16 tiles tiles hanging. Hanging displays > 6.4
m / 7.2 m tall require an auxiliary frame system not supplied by Barco.
• Handle is intended for carrying a single tile only. Do not use for safety, tie-off, climbing, or lifting.
• The small holes on the X-series frame can be used as a safety attachment point.
