About this chapter This chapter describes the typical components and accessories used in the SP-20 display in more detail. For other commonly used components in Barco LED displays like power boxes, digitizer, fiberlink, compact link and control software, we refer to the manual of these components for more information about use and installation.
One SP-20 tile is provided with one foot system. Each foot system consist of parts: a left foot and a right foot. When looking from the back side of the SP-20 tile, you can notice that the right foot is equipped with 2 locks. These locks are used to connect two neighboring tiles.

Setup process The first stage in this process is the preparation of the SP-20 tiles. Note that the SP-20 tiles are stored 3 (three) or 1 (one) in a package. So first remove the SP-20 tiles from their package and roughly put then in place.
5. Physical installation Securing SP-20 tiles How to secure SP-20 tiles? 1. Align both tiles. 2. Close the top lock using the procedure illustrated below. Note: This procedure has to be carried out by hand. Image 5-1 3. Close the bottom lock using the procedure illustrated below.
Only partially loosen the nut until you have enough space to insert he soft cover. Image 5-3 2. Insert the soft cover as illustrated.

Outdoor plugs and sockets for SP-20 tiles Barco uses special designed outdoor sockets for power and data connections from tile to tile and to other peripherals. These rugged sockets are watertight (IP65) when used with the appropriate plugs and sealing rings. Each socket is equipped with a plug holder clamp which, when locked, ensures the plug is completely pressed into the socket.
Barco provides several types of power boxes. Depending on the size of the SP-20 display you can choose to use the mono phase power box or the custom made power box. The type of power box does not influence the power cabling of the SP-20 display. See the corresponding installation manual of the concerned power box for installation instructions.
Note: The maximum cable length between the digitizer and the first tile may not exceed 5 meter. 2. Daisy chain the data link cables from the data output of a previous SP-20 tile to the data input of the next one.
Why clean SP-20 tiles? Due to outdoor use the SP-20 tile is exposed to all kinds of weather conditions. Sand, dust, smog and other dirt adhere on the SP-20 tile and therefore the visual performance of the SP-20 display is reduced. That’s why cleaning the SP-20 tiles is recommended at regular intervals.
