EP4650/EP5550 User Manual

Introduction

The EP4650/EP5550 is a 46” or 55” diagonal edge-lit LED LCD display that can be wall

mounted, ceiling mounted or mounted on a stand. The display can be portrait or

landscape.

The EP4650 and EP5550 are ultra slim and have an aspect ratio of 1.77 (16:9). The

EP4650/EP5550 have a native HD (1920 x 1080) resolution and both accept a wide

range of input pictures from VGA to 1080p.

Additional features of the Planar EP4650 and EP5550 include ambient light control, a

wide range of source connectivity, and display control through LAN or RS232. The EP

series displays also provide superior energy efficiency in a lightweight design.

Caution: This manual is intended for use by qualified service persons and end users with

experience installing LCD displays.

EP4650/EP5550 User Manual

Safety Information

Before using the EP4650/EP5550, please read this manual thoroughly to help protect

against damage to property, and to ensure personnel safety.

• Be sure to observe the following instructions.

• For your safety, be sure to observe ALL the warnings detailed in this manual.

• For installation or adjustment, please follow this manual’s instructions, and refer

all servicing to qualified service personnel.

Safety Precautions

• If water is spilled or objects are dropped inside the ep46L/ep55L, remove

the power plug from the outlet immediately. Failure to do so may result in

fire or electrical shock. Contact your dealer for inspection.

• If the EP4650/EP5550 is dropped or the chassis is damaged, remove the

power plug from the outlet immediately. Failure to do so may result in fire or

electrical shock. Contact your dealer for inspection.

WARNING! Wall mounts must be secure.

• If the display is hung on a wall, the wall must be strong enough to hold it.

Simply mounting it to wallboard or wall paneling won’t be adequate or safe.

Caution: The screen could be damaged by heavy pressure.

• Slight pressure on the LCD will cause distortion of the image. Heavier

pressure will cause permanent damage. Displays should be mounted where

viewers cannot touch the screen or insert small objects in the openings that will

create hazards by contacting bare conductive parts.

Caution: The front polarizer is soft and subject to scratches from sharp objects.

• The polarizer is a thin sheet of film laminated to the outside layer of glass

on the LCD screen. Take care when handling items near the screen.

• If the power cord or plug is damaged or becomes hot, turn off the main

power switch of the display. Make sure the power plug has cooled down

and remove the power plug from the outlet. If the EP4650/EP5550 is still used

in this condition, it may cause a fire or an electrical shock. Contact your dealer

for a replacement.

Important Safety Instructions

Read these instructions.

Keep these instructions.

Heed all warnings.

Follow all instructions.

Do not use the EP4650/EP5550 near water.

Clean the LCD screens with an LCD screen cleaner or LCD wipes.

Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves or

other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding type plug. A

polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type

plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third

prong is provided for your safety. When the provided plug does not fit into your

outlet, consult an electrician for the replacement of the obsolete outlet.

Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched, particularly at plugs,

convenience receptacles and the point where they exit from any of the

EP4650/EP5550 displays.

10 Only use the attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.

11 Unplug all displays during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of

time.

12 You must follow all National Electrical Code regulations. In addition, be aware of

local codes and ordinances when installing your system.

13 Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when any

of the displays have been damaged in any way. For example, if the AC power cord

or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into a display,

the displays have been exposed to rain or moisture, do not operate normally or

have been dropped.

14 Keep the packing material in case the equipment should ever need to be

shipped.

15 Wall mounts must be secure. The wall must be strong enough to hold all

EP4650/EP5550s, brackets and cables.

Recommended Usage

16 Slight pressure on the LCD will cause distortion of the image. Heavier pressure

will cause permanent damage. Displays should be mounted where viewers

cannot touch the screen or insert small objects in the openings that will create

hazards by contacting bare conductive parts.

17 The front polarizer is soft and subject to scratches from sharp objects. The

polarizer is a thin sheet of film laminated to the outside layer of glass on the LCD

screen. Take care when handling items near the screen.

Recommended Usage

In order to get the most out of your LCD, use the following recommended guidelines

to optimize the display.

Burn-In Versus Temporary Image Retention

Burn-in causes the screen to retain an image essentially forever, with little or no way

to correct the problem. Under normal use, an LCD will not experience burn-in, as

plasma displays do, nor will it retain images in any way.

Normal use of an LCD is defined as displaying continuously changing video patterns

or images. However, LCDs can experience temporary image retention when

recommended usage guidelines are not followed.

What is Temporary Image Retention?

Temporary image retention (TIR) can occur when a static image is displayed

continuously for extended periods of time (12 hours or longer). An electrical charge

differential may build up between the electrodes of the liquid crystal, which causes a

negative-color video image (color-inverted and brightness-inverted version of the

previous image) to be retained when a new image is displayed. This behavior is true

for any LCD device from any LCD manufacturer.

TIR is not covered under warranty. See standard warranty terms and conditions for

details. Here are some guidelines to help you avoid TIR:

• Use the LCD to show a screen saver, moving images or still pictures that change

regularly. When using high-contrast images, reposition the images frequently.

• Turn off the LCD when it is not in use. To use your source computer’s Power

Options Properties, set up your computer to turn off the display when not in

use.

Caution: For optimal performance, we suggest turning off the backlight power on the

EP4650/EP5550 for six hours per day.

Normal Usage Guidelines

Normal use of the LCD is defined as operating in the open air to prevent heat

buildup, and without direct or indirect heat sources such as lighting fixtures, heating

ducts, or direct sunlight that can cause the modules to experience high operating

temperatures. For all modules, do not block fans or ventilation openings. If the LCD

module will be installed in a recessed area with an LCD surround or enclosure, ensure

adequate openings are applied for proper air flow and ventilation.

At 2000 meters or below, the maximum ambient operating temperature for the LCD

module cannot be above 40º C nor below the minimum ambient operating

temperature of 5º C. If one of these conditions exists, it is up to the installer to ensure

that module placement is changed, thermal shielding is provided and/or additional

ventilation is provided to keep the display within its nominal operating parameters.

Cooling Requirements

For optimal performance, active cooling by the installer should be planned for when

the ambient temperature at the top of the wall is predicted to be above the specified

ambient temperature for the panel. Cooling may be done behind the displays and

depending on the wall configuration, it may be helpful to place air ducts (AC) at

every third display tall.

VESA Mounts, General Description

VESA mounts are used to secure the EP4650/EP5550 for display. The EP4650/EP5550

can be installed using a variety of VESA mounts available through Planar. If you do

not have a VESA mount and would like to purchase one, contact Planar.

If you purchased a VESA mount, you should have a received a separate box with

mounting supplies and an Installation manual. Follow these instructions carefully.

Keep in mind the following general installation guidelines:

• Screw length is crucial and will vary depending on the type of mount you use.

Total screw length will include the penetration length plus the length required

by the type of VESA mount in use.

Caution: Shorter screws will result in insufficient mounting strength and longer screws

could puncture parts inside the display.

• Prior to installation, make sure you know where all of the mounting points are

located.

• Follow all safety precautions outlined in the VESA Installation manual.

• Verify the parts received with the list shown in the VESA Installation manual.
