Installing the Y-power cord retention clip

To ensure the Y-power cords are secured between connections a retention clip, supplied with the Y-

Cord Kit (P/N: 123-122106-xx), must be installed.

To install, snap the clip onto the joint between two Y-power cords.

Powering on the MicroTiles array

To turn on the display, connect the MicroTiles array to a power source.

Warning! If not avoided, the following could result in death or serious injury.

•

SHOCK HAZARD! The line cord has a maximum power carrying capability. For the maximum
number of tiles that may be connected per daisy chain when connecting to the power supply,
refer to the product specifications.

•

FIRE AND SHOCK HAZARD! Do not attempt operation unless the power cord, power socket, and
power plug meet the appropriate local rating standards.

Caution! If not avoided, the following could result in minor or moderate injury.

•

Install the product near an easily accessible AC receptacle.

1. Connect the power plug from the ECU into an outlet or power bar.
2. Connect the power cable to the AC receptacle at the lower-left corner on the rear of the tiles

and to a proper AC power source (outlet).
It is recommended that a power bar with an in-line power switch be used to simplify switching
the array ON and OFF.

3. Daisy chain the Y-power cords into each tile in the array.
4. Apply electrical tape or tie wraps, or use the Y-power cord retention clip to secure the inline

connection between the Y-power cables.
The LED status light on the ECU Power button is red during the power-up sequence, which
takes approximately one minute. If any of the tiles fail to power up, check each connection.

5. After the array (ECU and tiles) is powered up, the LED status light on the ECU Power button

flashes green.

6. Always check the firmware version installed on the tile(s) and ECU on initial power up against

the version available at www.microtiles.com.
Failure to install the latest firmware version can affect system performance.
