to qualified service personnel.
CAUTION
RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK
DO NOT OPEN
CAUTION : TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK,
DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK)
NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE
REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL
The lightning flash with an arrowhead within a triangle is intended to tell the user that parts inside this product may cause a risk of
electrical shock to persons.
The exclamation point within a triangle is intended to tell the user that important operating and/or servicing instructions are included
in the technical documentation for this equipment.
Maximum and minimum ambient temperature:
The maximum ambient temperature for the LED wall is 40 °C, the minimum temperature is 0 °C.
High leakage current:
The combination of multiple tiles in an installation results in increased levels of leakage current. In order to avoid risk of electric
shock due to high leakage current, proper grounding of the installation is required.
Flammable materials:
Keep flammable materials away from the installation (such as curtains). A lot of energy is transferred into heat. The installation
should be such that the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised. Proper ventilation must
be provided.
ESD and LED’s:
LED components used in ILite display devices are ESD (Electro-Static Discharge) sensitive. To prevent the possibility of destroying
LED components do not touch either in operation or while switched off.
Risk of electric shock / Risk of fire: To protect against risk of fire caused by overloading of power cables, MAXIMUM six (6) tiles
may be connected in parallel. Each power source cable supplying maximum six (6) tiles should be protected by a circuit breaker
or fuses rated 16 A / 250 VAC (15 A / 250 VAC in the USA and Canada). Note that one ILite tile requires 200-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz,
1.45 amps at 230 VAC.
Disconnect device:
When the appliance inlets of the individual tiles are not accessible, the socket outlets supplying the rack shall be installed near the
equipment and be easily accessible, or a readily accessible general disconnect device shall be incorporated in the fixed wiring.
This equipment MUST be earthed:
In order to protect against risk of electric shock, the installation should be properly grounded. Defeating the purpose of the grounding
type plug will expose you to the risk of electric shock.
Power system:
It is recommended to use a TN-S power distribution system (a power distribution system with a separate neutral and grounding
conductor) in order to avoid large ground current loops due to voltage differences in the neutral conductor. The total electrical
installation should be protected by an appropriately rated disconnect switch, circuit breakers and Ground Fault Current Interrupters.
The installation shall be done according to the local electrical installation codes. In Europe special attention should be given to EN
60364, the standard for electrical installation of buildings. In Germany VDE 0100 should be adhered to.
Mains cords:
The power cords delivered with this system have special properties for safety. They are not user serviceable. If the power cords are
damaged, replace them only with new ones. Never try to repair a power cord.

2. Installation requirements
2.1 Mechanical requirements
Support structure
The support structure has to be provided and installed by the customer because they vary from system to system. Although, the
following must be taken into account and must be precisely calculated on individual basis:
1. Weight tolerances : Ensure that the support structure and the floor on which or the wall against which the support structure
has to be installed, is able to handle the complete weight of the fixed ILite display.
2. Environmental conditions : Humidity, temperatures, etc.
3. Location
4. Ground stability
5. Front clearances : For optimal impact ensure that there is sufficient free area in front of the ILite display and respect the
maximum viewing distance.
6. Local regulations regarding such installations
The ILite display has an average weight of 74 kg per square meter display or 14,8 kg per installed ILite tile.
WARNING: Never construct an ILite display if there is uncertainty regarding the stability of an installation or
the load holding capabilities. If there are doubts on a systems viability, consult Barco for advice on profes-
sional rigging organizations.
Example of support structure
The support structure in this example is pure illustrative for 7 x 5 ILite display. Several variants of support structures are possible for
the same size of ILite display. Contact Barco for more information.
Image 2-1
Support structure for ILite display (at the right with tile grid).
Attachment points
Barco provides fixation plates and brackets to attach the ILite precision frames with the support structure. For that the support
structure must be equipped with attachment points and it’s obvious that the size of these attachment points must match the size of
the fixation plate. The quantity and the location of the attachment points on the support structure depends on the height and the
width of the ILite display. Consult Barco to know the amount and exact location of the attachment points for your ILite display.

It’s recommended to integrate a service platform in the support structure. Such a platform allows a fast and
easy intervention, if required.
CAUTION: A lot of energy is transferred into heat, which requires a certain amount of airflow at the rear of the
ILite display. For that sufficient free space should be available behind the display to ensure a good ventilation.
The higher the display the more free space is required.

2.2 Electrical requirements
Power requirements
One ILite tile requires 200-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz, 1.45 amps at 230 VAC. Note that five ILite tiles correspond with a display surface of
1 m². Power split cables are used to link the power from ILite tile to ILite tile. However, MAXIMUM six (6) tiles may be connected in
parallel. So, one power source cable has to be provided per six (6) tiles. Every power source cable should be protected by a circuit
breaker or fuses rated 16 A / 250 VAC (15 A / 250 VAC in the USA and Canada).
Barco provides a range of power boxes, which meet the requirements of your ILite display. Contact Barco for
more information about power boxes and power requirements for your fixed ILite display.

3. Components of a fixed ILite display
3.1 ILite precision frames
Introduction
The basic building blocks of an ILite display are the ILite precision frames. These precision frames, which are mounted and lev-
eled upon a solid support structure, allow a fast and correct installation of the ILite tiles. Due to the multitude of possible screen
sizes/configurations Barco offers six different sizes of precision frames. The size of the precision frames is expressed in a number
of ILite tiles, which fit horizontally and vertically in such a frame:

Understanding the positioning code of the ILite precision frames
Each precision frame is coded with a letter followed by two numbers. The letter indicates the ILite display to which this precision
frame is part of (very useful in case there is more than one ILite display to install at the same location). The first number indicates the
row in which to assemble, the second indicates the column. This code starts counting from the bottom left corner of the ILite display.

Left and/or bottom side removal of the ILite precision frames
For transport reasons all the precision frames are delivered with all the sides attached. To join two assembly blocks together, one
of the two sides at the adjoining edge, has to be removed.
Either none, one or two sides of the precision frame have to be removed, depending on its location in the complete wall assembly.
The sides that need to be detached are either the left side or the bottom side or both, because the ILite display is build from left to
right and bottom to top.

3.2 ILite tile
Introduction ILite tile
The ILite display is delivering a quality picture of a video cube without its inherent technology limits as hotspot-effect, jailhouse-
effect, alignment problems and low contrast level. But offering shallow depth, long lifetime, increased ruggedness and incredible
picture dynamics. Built-in intelligence provides for auto-calibration of the full display, hot swap of tiles and diagnostic capabilities.
An embedded PC equips every ILite tile, providing it with intelligence and advanced logic handling capabilities. This PC is the host
of a great deal of the added value offered by the ILite. An extreme fill factor and high resolution offers a full color blended picture at
distances smaller than 3 meters. Half of the full brightness is still perceived at angles of 145º from the surface of the display.
Image 3-13
ILite tile.
Functionality
All tiles in an ILite display are connected in series via a data path. The physical location of a tile in the data path does not matter
because within the ILite display all tiles are equal. But the data path must be created in a daisy chain manner. Each tile picks out a
part of the video information of the data stream on the data path and processes this information for displaying on its LED’s.
The ILite tiles need to be powered up with a supply voltage of 200-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz, 1.45 amps at 230 VAC.
Re-sync unit
Every tile contains a re-sync unit (A) which can easily be removed. The re-sync unit synchronizes the incoming data stream and
sends it to the next tile. The data ports (B) on the re-sync unit are bidirectional. So, it doesn’t matter on which port the data is coming
in, the re-sync unit switches the functionality of the data ports spontaneously between input and output. Furthermore the re-sync
unit is equipped with status LED’s (C) for diagnostic purposes.

The re-sync unit can easily be removed from the ILite tile without disconnecting the data cables. This allows
a hot swap of the ILite tile.
Cables used with ILite tiles
The display tile is provided with power via a power split cable with a C13 plug. Data cabling between tiles is done with a DVI-DVI
data cable of 0,9 meter.

The data ports consist of two DVI connectors (F). The re-sync unit (G) automatic detects the incoming signal on one of the two DVI
connectors. The other DVI connector will automatically act as output port. So, it doesn’t matter on which DVI connector, left or right,
the data is coming in. The ILite tile switches the functionality of the DVI connectors spontaneously between input and output. Barco
provides short data linking cables with DVI plugs (E), which are used to realize the data path from tile to tile.
The power input connector consist of a C14 socket type. Barco provides ILite power split cables, which subdivide power from the
power source to the ILite tile. One power split cable is required per ILite tile. The power split cable has a C13 plug (B), which fits
directly into the power port of the tile, a C19 plug (C) and a C20 plug (D).

WARNING: Risk of electric shock / Risk of fire: To protect against risk of fire caused by overloading of power
cables, MAXIMUM six (6) tiles may be connected in parallel. Each power source cable supplying maximum
six (6) tiles should be protected by a circuit breaker or fuses rated 16 A / 250 VAC (15 A / 250 VAC in the USA
and Canada). Note that one ILite tile requires 200-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz, 1.45 amps at 230 VAC.
Necessary parts
•
Power box(es) with matching cables.
•
Power split cables.
How to realize the power cabling of an ILite display ?
1. Install the power box nearby the ILite display. Ensure the power box provides as much power circuits as required to energize the
display in a safe manner. If necessary, install several power boxes. See manual of the used power box for installation instructions.
2. Connect a power source cable coming from the power box with the C20 plug of an ILite power split cable.
Note: Depending on the type of used power box, a multi power cable in combination with a spider connector is inserted between
the power box and the power source cable leading to the power split cable of the first ILite tile. See manual of the used
power box to realize the cabling between power box and ILite display.
3. Connect the C13 plug of the power split cable with one of the tiles in the LED-display. Start with a tile at the bottom.
4. Connect another power split cable with the previously installed power split cable and plug the C13 plug into the power socket of
the tile above.
5. Repeat step 4 until maximum six (6) tiles are connected with the same power source cable coming from the power box.
Warning: Risk of electric shock / Risk of fire: To protect against risk of fire caused by overloading of power cables, MAXI-
MUM six (6) tiles may be connected in parallel. Each power source cable supplying maximum six (6) tiles should be
protected by a circuit breaker or fuses rated 16 A / 250 VAC (15 A / 250 VAC in the USA and Canada). Note that
one ILite tile requires 200-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz, 1.45 amps at 230 VAC.
Tip:
Create as much as possible vertical power branches of six (6) tiles high. Only include tiles of neighboring columns in
case the power branch is less than six (6) tiles high.
6. Repeat from step 2 until all ILite tiles are provided with power.
