To protect against risk of fire caused by overloading of power cables, MAXIMUM 4 X8 Connection Boxes may
be connected in parallel. Each power source cable supplying maximum 4 X8 Connection Boxes should be
protected by a circuit breaker or fuses rated 16 A / 250 VAC (15 A / 250 VAC in the USA and Canada). Note that
one X8 Connection Box requires 200-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz, 3.6 amps at 200 VAC.
Necessary parts
• Power box(es) with matching cables.
• Power linking cables.
• Dummy power plugs
How to realize the power cabling of the X8 display?
1. Install the power box nearby the X8 display. Ensure the power box provides as much power circuits as required to energize the
display in a safe manner. If necessary, install several power boxes. See manual of the used power box for installation instructions.
2. Connect a power source cable coming from the power box with the lower tile in a column of 4 X8 Connection Boxes high.
Note: Depending on the type of used power box, a multi power cable in combination with a spider connector is inserted between
the power box and the power source cable leading to the X8 tile. See manual of the used power box to realize the cabling
between power box and X8 display.
3. Create a power branch of maximum 4 X8 Connection Boxes by placing a power linking cable between the X8 Connection Box of
the tiles above. Note that the lowest X8 Connection Box is receiving power directly from the power box via a power source cable.
4. Place a dummy power plug on the power output socket of the upper X8 Connection Box in the power branch.
5. Repeat from step 2 until all X8 Connection Boxes are provided with power.
Example of power cabling
The example below shows the power cabling of a four by eight X8 display. The power box (1) is connected via a multi power cable
(2) with a spider connector (3). Each spider output cable leads to a column of 4 X8 Connection Boxes. The power connection in this
column is realized with a power linking cable (4). Note that the unused power output socket is sealed with a dummy power plug (5).
