Section 1: Introduction
1.4 Safety Warnings and Guidelines
Please read the following warnings before commencing installation to ensure the safety of those working at the
installation site.
1.4.1 Stacking Limitations
Do not stack more than 6 F100 Frames when using the approved P100 Pedestals. Stacking the frames higher
than the recommended limit increases the possibility of the display wall becoming unstable and unsafe, and
also increases the chance that the pedestals may buckle from the extra weight.
1.4.2 Using Christie P100 Pedestals
It is strongly recommended that the P100 Pedestals are used with both the F100 Frames and the FHD551-X
LCD Panels. Installers must ensure that the LCD panels are mounted to or within a secure structure that can
adequately support the weight of the stacked panels. If a display wall is built with any other platform, the
installer must ensure that the platform is stable and can support the weight of the frames and LCD panels (to
their stacking limits).
Ensure that pedestals are level before stacking the F100 Frames and LCD panels.
See also 1.4.3 External
Support, on page 1-2 .
1.4.3 External Support
Stacked pedestals, frames and LCD panels can tip over and cause severe injury
or damage when not properly secured. The display wall must be supported during and after
installation to a structurally sound surface, such as a permanent wall or an installer-approved
free-standing external support structure.
The P100 Pedestals, F100 Frames and LCD panels must be stacked onto a level surface. If stacked on a non-
level or inclined surface, there is an increased risk that the structure (even when mounted in secured or free-
standing external structures) could tip over and cause serious injury or damage. It is strongly recommended
that P100 Pedestals be used to create the platform for a display wall incorporating the F100 Frames and
FHD551-X LCD Panels.
1.4.4 Lifting LCD Panels
Lift equipment MUST be used to lift LCD panels into position on higher rows. A
crew of two can lift an LCD panel into position on the first row.
1.4.5 Airflow Considerations
It is important that the room temperature measured all around the display wall is no greater than the operating
temperature, which is min. 5°C (41°F) ~ max. 40°C (104°F). It is up to the installer to determine, based on their
installation, how much open area is required around the display wall for adequate airflow.
