Page 11: Installation Instructions
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS IP RATING The panels are IP55 rated. This rating signifies that dust cannot enter in sufficient quantity to inter- fere with the satisfactory operation of the device, and that water projected by a nozzle against the enclosure from any direction shall have no harmful effects. PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS RATING APPLIES ONLY TO THE PANELS, AND THAT ANY ASSOCIATED POWER CABLES AND ACCES- SORIES ARE RATED FOR USE ONLY IN DRY, INDOOR ENVIRONMENTS. - Page 12 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS PANEL SET UP INSTRUCTIONS 1. Start by setting up the Panel Power Ramps. Connect all Panel Power Ramps to each other by stringing together both the DMX connections and the power cable connections. NOTE: One Panel Power Ramp is required for each column of panels. 2.
- Page 13 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS PANEL SET UP INSTRUCTIONS 3. Connect your row of Panel Power Ramps to both the DMX console and the Power Supply. Plug in the Power Supply and switch it on.
- Page 14 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS PANEL SET UP INSTRUCTIONS 4. Lay out a grid of Panel Floor Brackets, noting that one Panel Floor Bracket is required for each corner where a panel or a ramp come into contact with each other. Panel Floor Brackets should be spaced approximately 19.3 inches (490mm) apart from edge to edge in both left-to-right and front-to-back directions.
- Page 15 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS PANEL SET UP INSTRUCTIONS 5. Connect a panel to any of the power supply ramps using the docking magnets, making sure that each foot on the panel slots into the holes in the Connection Brackets. Adjust the position of the Connection Brackets as needed to align them with the panel feet.
- Page 16 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS PANEL SET UP INSTRUCTIONS 7. If desired, use the Menu Display screen to configure the settings of the individual panel.(see System Menu section on page 20). NOTE: Due to panel orientation requirements, the Menu Display screen may not be accessible after additional panels have been installed.
- Page 17 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS PANEL SET UP INSTRUCTIONS 9. Once all panels have been placed, install the unpowered edge ramps around the remaining edges of the panel assembly using the docking magnets and the connection brackets. 10. Slot the corner ramps in place at each corner of the panel assembly. It can be helpful to lift both adjacent edge ramps slightly in order to align the corner ramp, the edge ramps, and the connec- tion bracket.
- Page 18 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Panel 1 > Panel 2: Correct. Both panels receive both power and DMX data. Panel 3 > Panel 4: Incorrect. The top panel is rotated, and connections do not line up with the ramp, and therefore the panel will not receive a signal from the ramp. Any panel(s) installed below the top row will not receive a signal regardless of orientation.
- Page 19 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS The completed installation should resemble the diagram shown below. A four-panel system is depicted as an example, but your system may differ in number of panels.
