Physical installation

WARNING! Read "Safety Information" on page 4 before installing the EC Series.
WARNING! The safety and suitability of lifting equipment, installation location, anchoring method,
mounting hardware, suspension structures and electrical installation is the responsibility of the
installer. All local safety regulations and legal requirements must be observed when installing and
connecting the EC Series panels.
WARNING! Installation must be carried out by qualified professionals only. Contact your Martin
supplier for assistance if you have any questions about how to install this product safely.
WARNING! A maximum of sixteen EC Series panels may be suspended from one EC Series Header.
EC Series video panels are intended for suspension in vertical columns a maximum of sixteen panels high.
An unlimited number of correctly supported columns of panels may be installed horizontally alongside each
other. There is provision for both flat and curved video wall configurations.
It is possible to mix and interconnect EC-10 and EC-20 panels in an installation. The P3 System Controller
will recognize the different panel types.
The illustrations in this chapter show EC-20 panels, but procedures are identical for EC-10 panels.
