2 Package Handling

WARNING

Failure to comply with the following could result in death or serious injury:

- Do not drop the panel (even a short distance), or apply pressure to the sides of the bezel. The small size of the bezel, which enables minimal image-to-image gaps, means there is reduced protection of the LCD glass and components. Dropping the panel or applying unnecessary force to the sides of the bezel will result in permanent damage.

• To avoid serious injury and/or serious damage to the LCD panel, moving the panel requires at least two people. Hold the white handles on the shipping package when moving/shipping. Failure to properly handle the package may result in serious injury.

- Extreme care must be taken when pushing the mounted display into its locked position. Always handle the display on the opposing corners of the frame to avoid direct contact with the LCD glass.

2.1 Unpacking

Each LCD panel is packed inside a box carton. To protect the panel during transportation, additional packing material has been placed within the carton. Before unpacking, prepare a stable, level and clean surface near a wall outlet for your LCD panel. Set the box in an upright position and pull out the white carton locks. Lift up the top cover carton. Remove the ESD bag before removing the display from the bottom tray carton.

2.2 Handling and Care

⚠ CAUTION Make sure the power connector and any other cables are unplugged before moving the product. Failure to comply could result in minor or moderate injury.

To avoid damaging your LCD panel, follow these guidelines when handling or moving the panel:

• Hold and support the LCD panel at each side and keep at an even height above the ground.
• Do not twist or bend the panel.
  • Always use the handles on the back of the LCD panel. Do not hold onto the frame when transporting.
• Two people are required when moving or raising the LCD panel. Use both hands, one positioned on the top handle and the other on the bottom handle.
• Use a cart to move several panels at one time.
• When the panel is sitting on a surface, do not tilt it more than 10^ to avoid damaging the screen.

2.3 Cleaning

NOTICE: Unplug the power cord before cleaning the LCD panel. Do not use a liquid, spray cleaners, or any abrasive cleaners to clean the LCD panel. Failure to comply may result in equipment damage.

Use a cloth dampened with water or methyl alcohol to clean the screen surface. It is recommended you keep the protective plastic sheet shipped with the panel to replace it each time the panels are packed and shipped.

3 Installation Guidelines

3.1 Power

WARNING

Failure to comply with the following could result in death or serious injury:

• Electrical Shock Hazard! Always power down and disconnect/disengage all power sources to the panel(s) before servicing or cleaning. Read and understand all product safety labels before installing/operating this product.
• Do not attempt to repair or service the product yourself. Opening or removing the back cover may expose you to high voltages, the risk of electric shock and other hazards. If repair is required, contact your dealer and refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

3.2 Remote Requirements

NOTE: Due to the length limitations of the IR cables, if constructing arrays larger than 4x4, it is advised that you configure each monitor before assembling it into the video wall. For example, in a 3x3 array, the IR cable for the center monitor is long enough to reach the top and bottom of the video wall, but does not reach the sides.

Connect the supplied IR extender cable to each monitor to access OSD features using the IR remote. One remote may be used to simultaneously access the OSD on all monitors providing there is line of sight to each IR receiver. For independent control of each monitor, aim the remote at the receiver connected to the monitor. When working with large arrays it is more practical to control the LCD monitors through RS232.

3.3 Tiling

⚠ CAUTION Before installing, make sure the wall/structure is strong enough to withstand the weight of the display and mount. Failure to comply could result in minor or moderate injury.

NOTICE: To avoid damaging the LCD panels, do not stack on top of each other. Allow a minimum 1 mm (0.04") clearance between panels.

To tile the LCD panels they must be mounted to an external mounting structure. The illustration below points out the 4 mounting positions on the back of the LCD panel. For details on how to correctly mount the panels to the wall mount, see ML10/MP10 Video Wall Mount Instruction Sheet (P/N: 020-100726-xx).

1. Carefully place the LCD Panel on a flat surface with the display side facing down. For details on how to properly handle the LCD panel, see Section 2 Package Handling.

2. Remove the 4 M8/15 screws from the back of the LCD monitor.

3. Align the wall mount brackets with the mounting holes on the back of the panel and attach it using the screws removed in step 2.

NOTE: Using long screws will damage the monitor. Use maximum 15mm (0.59") screw lengths.

3.4 Cabling

3.4.1 RS232 Routing

The number of connecting devices for RS232 is a maximum of 25 connecting from top-left or bottom-left.

- Ambient air temperature behind the panel must be maintained at <40^ C (104° F). To make sure that the air behind each LCD panel is within the operating range. Large displays may require additional space to maintain ambient temperatures.

- A distance of at least 3 ft (914.4 mm) should be maintained between the monitor and any heat source, such as radiator, heater, oven, amplifier, and so on. Do not install the product close to smoke. Operating the product close to smoke or moisture may cause fire or electric shock.

- Do not place the LCD panel inside an enclosure (for example, a bookcase or cabinet) unless proper ventilation is provided.

- When moving the monitor from an area of low temperature to an area of high temperature, condensation may form on the housing. Do not enable power to the monitor immediately after this to avoid causing fire, electric shock, or component damage.

3.7 Runtime

Although the power supply and panel components support continuous 24/7 operation, static content must not be displayed over long periods of time (>20h per day) or image retention may occur. Powering the unit off or using power management for 4 hours per day will extend the life of the product and minimize the risk of image retention. In circumstances where a static image must be displayed over long periods of time, activating the Image Retention Frame Motion (IRFM) feature helps to avoid image retention. For details, see 4.3.8 Advanced Settings Menu, on page 4-9.

3.8 Application Software

To download the Video Wall Toolbox go to www.christiedigital.com. The main features of this software application are automatic panel mapping based on cable routing and the ability to send commands to multiple panels simultaneously. For more information, see 4.6 Video Wall Toolbox, on page 4-15.
