Planning for Your Installation

Before you unpack your displays, you should have a detailed 
plan of how the displays are to be configured. It should include 
the following calculations:

Floor  load

If you have a wall of three or more high, plan to tie back upper 
units to a wall or other building structure to prevent tipping

Power (maximum of 6 units per 20A circuit for 115V operation)

Access to assembled units

Space allowance behind units for rear service access (recom-
mended but not required)

Cable  runs

Ventilation and cooling requirements (this is very important)

At least two people to help lift units into place

There are motorized adjustments that need to be made to the 
optical engine. See the Installation & Configuration Guide CD.

Have the following tools available:

String, to check the straightness across the fronts of the units

Long carpenter’s level; 48" or longer if possible

Steel tape measure; to check the squareness of the wall

#2 Phillips screwdriver with a long shaft, 8" (203mm) or more

Utility knife to open box and display packaging

Computer network LAN cables (straight through - no crossover) 
to interconnect multiple displays for RS232 control.

#50 Glass Cleaner (

 or

inc.com

)

Although a VGA cable is included with every unit, you may wish 
to obtain a long-run VGA, SDI or DVI cable if your source is 
located far away from the display(s).

Unpacking the c50R/c67R

Keep the screens in their separate boxes until needed.

All the c50R/c67R chassis are shipped on pallets by themselves, 
and screens are grouped together on one or more separate pal-
lets.

Leave the screens in their cartons until they are needed
