Recommended Use & Maintenance

About the LED lamps

The surface of the pixel card is vulnerable to shocks, so do not press or hit the surface.

LED lamps are sensitive to static electricity and surge voltage, which may damage their components and decrease their reliability.

Take measures against static electricity during the installation. Do not touch the LED display areas.

When you install the product or when you use it for the first time after leaving it unused for a long time, follow the instructions below.

The LED lamps may absorb and hold moisture during the LED module installation or if not used for a long time. Therefore, in such cases, the brightness must be increased gradually during a break-in period before setting the normal brightness.

If the LED lamps are lit with 100% brightness while moisture is retained, the temperature will rise very quickly and the water inside the lamps will evaporate and expand. This will cause the encapsulating resin to expand, which may lead to separation of the boundary surface inside the LED lamps. This separation can cause the LED lamps not to light up properly.

Lamp break-in

Configure the brightness settings as shown below with a video displayed on the LED module.

After a break-in period of approximately 3 hours, the LED module can be used under normal conditions.

About the Pixel card

The surface of the pixel card is easily scratched, so handle it with care so as not to push or rub it with a hard object. Be careful not to stain the surface of the pixel card with your fingers. If the surface of the pixel card becomes dirty, wipe it gently with a dry cloth. Also, use a clean cloth and avoid using the same cloth repeatedly.

1. Installation location

Before the installation, be sure to review the following safety precautions to ensure proper and safe installation.

CAUTION

• Ask a technician to perform the installation.
• Make sure the product is moved and installed by enough people to ensure safety.
• Make sure that the beams or the other structures to which the product is installed have enough strength to support the weight of the product, and make sure that the product is securely fixed.
• Do not install directly the product to a surface that has not enough strength.

- When installing the product in an environment with much dust or dirt, be careful to prevent such material from adhering to the connectors on the hub board and pixel card.

Adhesion of dust or dirt to the connectors may cause poor contact, leading to abnormalities of video display.

- When installing the product in a narrow place (in a wall, etc.), leave enough gaps around the LED screens to prevent an increase in the temperature.

Make sure to use the product lower than the normal operating temperature.

The top of the LED module should always be installed so that the temperature is below 40°C.

Pay particular attention to the installation environment (heat from the external environment, direct sunlight, heat generated by the number of displays) in order to facilitate cooling of the LED modules. If cooling is not sufficient, take measures, such as increasing the distance from the walls or installing a forced-air cooling system.

Ask a technician or your retailer for more details.

There is an example for setting.

*: Depending on the temperature condition.

If the distances are lower than these value, the cooling might not sufficient. Take measures, such as increasing the distance from the walls or installing a forced-air cooling system.

2. Handle

Use the handles when carrying and installing the cabinet.

Put the handles in their original positions after the installation work has been completed.

When carrying or installing the cabinet, pull out the handles on both sides.

Put the handles back after the work has been completed.

3. Mark the positions of the anchor points on the wall

- Mark the positions of the holes you will make for the anchor points (refer to the figures below and the "Anchor points number and positions" table on the next page).

- Before making the holes, check the verticality of the marks using a spirit level or a laser line level. (We recommend using a laser line level is recommended for accuracy.)

What can be done with Auto Upload Module

When "Auto Upload Module" is set, if the power of the LED module is restarted after the pixel card replacement, the calibration data of all pixel cards in the module, including the pixel card that has been replaced, is automatically written to the receiving card, and the image is displayed according to this state.

Precautions related to the operation (Adjusting the colors on a part of the screen)

Set "Auto Upload Module" to off when performing "Adjusting the colors on a part of the screen".

(Uncheck "Auto Upload Module" and click "Save to HW".)

Since the calibration data adjusted with "Adjusting the colors on a part of the screen" is saved in the receiving card and used for the display, if "Auto Upload Module" is checked, the calibration data in all the pixels cards inside the module whose pixel card has been replaced is written to the receiving card when the power is turned on and the results of the adjustment performed with "Adjusting the colors on a part of the screen" is lost. Then, the calibration data in the pixel card is used to display the image.

NOTE:

In the case of the FA series, Auto Update Module works only with the receiving card on the master side. (Pay attention since it does not work with the receiving card on the slave side.)

Detailed procedure

To set Auto Update Module, it is necessary to set module IDs to each pixel card and to register these module IDs to the receiving card.

Once module IDs are set to the pixel cards, registration of the module IDs to the receiving card is performed with Module Flash.

Follow the procedure below to check that module IDs are set to the pixel cards.

You may also use the procedure below to set module IDs to the pixel cards if they are not already set.

Perform Module Flash again after setting module IDs to the pixel cards.

NOTE:

• Auto Update Module will not work with the receiving card on the slave side with the FA series even if it is set.
• It is not possible to set module IDs to the receiving card on the slave side with the FA series.
