Installing the Display 

This section explains how to install your display. We suggest that you read the entire section 
before you attempt to install the unit. 

 8.   Before You Begin 

Make sure you have all the items in these lists before you begin unpacking and installing your 
display(s). 

 8.1    Tools/Equipment List 

Depending on your installation, you may need one or more of the following items: 

•  String/string level 
•  Digital/laser level 
•  Ladders/lift 
•  Back brace 
•  Stud finder (if hanging display on a wall) 

 8.2    Other Things You May Need 

•  LCD screen cleaner or LCD wipes - available at most electronics stores 
•  At least three (EPX100 and EPX100-T) or two (all other models) very strong people to 

help lift units into place. 

 8.3    Plan Your Installation 

You should have a detailed plan of how the units are to be configured. The plan should include 
calculations for the following: 

•  Power maximums reference below by display size 

。 

EP5014K(-T): 5 units max per 20A circuit for 115V operation 

。 

EP5814K(-T): 5 units max per 20A circuit for 115V operation 

。 

EP6514K(-T): 5 units max per 20A circuit for 115V operation 

。 

EPX100(-T): 2 units max per 20A circuit for 115V operation 

•  Cable runs 
•  Ventilation and cooling requirements 
•  If hanging display on a wall, location of studs in the wall 

 8.4    Prepare Your Installation Location 

You should have prepared the area where you will install the unit. If custom enclosures are part 
of the installation, they must be fully designed to accommodate the installation of the displays, as 
well as the installed unit and ventilation and cooling requirements. 

If your installation included a lot of construction or dust, it is 

highly recommended 

that you clean 

all of the screens after the wall installation and configuration are complete.
