The period of guarantee begins on the date of transfer of risks, in the case of special systems and software on the date of commissioning, at latest 30 days after the transfer of risks. In the event of justified notice of compliant, Barco can repair the fault or provide a replacement at its own discretion within an appropriate period.
Structural & mounting components should be kept dry, clean, lubricated (only if recommended), coated properly, and otherwise maintained in a manner consistent with part design. Barco products must be used in a manner consistent with their design and inspected on a routine basis for security, wear, deformation, corrosion and any other circumstances that may affect the load handling capability of the part.
1. Safety 1.2 Important safety instructions Instructions: • Read these instructions. • Keep these instructions. • Heed all warnings. • Follow all instructions. • Clean only with materials or chemicals that are inert, nonabrasive, noncorrosive and non-marking. Consult the manufacturer for further advice should any doubts exist regarding any cleaning procedure.

The control software is designed as a graphic user interface (GUI) and can be used to control and configure the digitizer as well as the Barco LED wall via a PC (e.g. XLite Toolset). Refer to the manual of the control software for more information about the control software.
3. Physical installation 3. PHYSICAL INSTALLATION Overview • Installation of the support structure • Preparation of the ILite assembly blocks • Correct alignment of the ILite assembly blocks • Attach the ILite assembly blocks • ILite tile mounting • Cabling of the ILite display 3.1 Installation of the support structure Follow the important Safety Guidelines.
3. Physical installation 3.2.2 Removing sides from ILite assembly blocks 3.2.2.1 Removing sides Why removing sides? For transport reasons all the assembly blocks 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. Which sides to remove? Either none, one or two sides of each assembly block will have to be removed, dependent on its location in the complete wall assembly.
3. Physical installation 3.2.2.2 Removing the left side from an ILite assembly block Necessary tools • Allen key 4 mm. • Side cutter. How to remove the left side ? 1. Undo and remove only the hexagon bolts in the aluminium corner brackets that secure the left side of the frame. 2.
3. Physical installation Image 3-7 3.3 Correct alignment of the ILite assembly blocks How to align assembly blocks correctly ? For correct alignment of the assembly blocks is it important that the basic connection joint between the assembly blocks is properly done.

The assembly blocks of the wall have to be attached to the support structure in succession and interconnected with one another. Starting in the lower left corner of the ILite display, with the first assembly block (coded x.1.1), from left to right and from bottom row to top row.

3. Physical installation When using a Fiberlink System the fiberlink data connection is inserted between the digitizer and the first tile. The Fiberlink Receiver is provided with a ’DATA IN’ and ’DATA OUT’ connector (MDR). Adapted data cables delivered with the Fiberlink system are required.

3. Physical installation It’s recommended that the data cable interconnection got a direction at right angles to the power cable inter- connection, because the resync-unit is able to power up the data connection for the next 2 tiles. So, when 1 power branch is disabled, the data source connection is still accurate.
