Power requirements
One X8 Connection Box requires 200-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz, 3.6 amps at 200 VAC Note that one X8 Rental Tile correspond with a
display surface of 0.97 m². Power split cables are used to link the power from X8 Connection Box to X8 Connection Box. However,
MAXIMUM 4 X8 Connection Boxes may be connected in parallel. So, one power source cable has to be provided per 4 X8 Con-
nection Boxes. Every power source cable should be protected by a circuit breaker or fuses rated 16 A / 250 VAC (15 A / 250 VAC
in the USA and Canada).
Barco provides a range of power boxes, which meet the requirements of the X8 display. Contact Barco for
more information about power boxes and power requirements for the X8 display.
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 current loops due to voltage differences in the neutral conductor. The total electrical
installation should be protected by an appropriately rated disconnect switch, circuit breakers, over voltage protector and Ground Fault
Current Interrupters. The installation shall be done according to the local electrical installation codes. In Europe special attention
should be given to HD 60364, Harmonization Document for electrical installation of buildings. In Germany VDE 0100 should be
adhered to. In America, special attention should be given to the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.
Disconnect device:
When the appliance inlets of the individual tiles 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
fi xed 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.
