11
Attention!
The installation should be performed only after you are thoroughly familiar with all of the proper
installation instructions and safety checks. This manual contains fundamental information that
should be observed in connection with the installation, start-up, operation and maintenance of
the LED video display. Neglect or not following these instructions will increase the risk of hazards
and injury to the user.
Before work on the system, the power must be disconnected, and the system must be checked for
absence of power and secured against further connection of power.
Clean the unit 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.
Ambient Temperature 2.3.1
The ambient temperature of the FE Series is maximum +40°C and minimum -20°C.
To avoid damage of the LED wall by over-heating, do not exceed the ambient temperature.
Risk of Fire 2.3.2
Keep flammable materials away from the installation. During operation a lot of energy is
transferred into heat. The installation should be placed so that the amount of air flow required for
safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
Proper ventilation must be provided. Never block the air ventilation holes. Keep them free at all
times.
To protect the power cable against overload maximum 10 cabinets shall be wired in a row at
100 V AC or 20 modules at 240 V AC. The total load must not exceed 16 A per cable.
To avoid risk of fire due to overheating of the cables, only use the supplied cables that are meant
for the system and its components. Damaged cables must be replaced by new cables. The cables
are not user serviceable.
2.4
Safety for Electricity and Power Supply
The electrical systems and their components are not to be opened. The parts inside modules,
which are not user-serviceable, hold high voltages, including when these components are not
in-use for a long time. Accessing these components may lead to serious injury, or property
damage.
Only authorized and qualified personnel may open the system and its components! All
repairs to the system may only be carried out by Sharp NEC DISPLAY SOLUTIONS and/or by
respectively authorized and qualified technical personnel.
Power cables and connectors are especially designed to be used indoor according to protection
class IP20. Only use the supplied cables and plugs. The usage of other manufacturers can cause
property damage.
This equipment is designed to be used in the condition of the power cord connected to earth. If
the power cord is not connected to the earth, it may cause electric shock. Make sure the power
cord is earthed properly.
WARNING!
Risk of electric shock and property damage.
Ensure the system is properly grounded.
12
Caution!
Risk of overload of the power cable.
To protect the power cable against overload maximum 10 cabinets shall be wired
in a row at 100 V AC or 20 modules at 240 V AC. The total load must not exceed
16 A per cable.
The limit values specified in the technical data must never be exceeded.
Only operate the system with supplied accessories (cables, power distribution, assist grip,
transport carts). However, a power cord to supply power is not included (see 3.1 Scope of
Delivery).
Do not operate or touch the system with wet hands.
Use the provided transition ramps (cable channels). Protect the cable against kinks and sharp
edges.
Notice
Use a TN-S power distribution system with a separate neutral and grounding conductor. Due to
voltage differences in the neutral conductor, large ground current loops can be avoided
therewith.
The complete electrical system should be protected by an appropriately rated disconnect switch,
circuit breakers, over voltage protector and Ground Fault Current Interrupters.
The power system needs to be installed according to the local electrical installation codes. For
Europe, installations have to be conform to DIN-EN 60364 – the standard for electrical

components, which keep the Pixel card in position on the cabinet:
3 corner click-pins (A)
4 magnets (B)
1 Pixel card connector (C)
Figure 22: Pixel Card – Back
Figure 23: Pixel Card – Front
Connections on the Hub board and the Cabinet
For installation and operation, the Pixel card needs no cable connections to the Hub board or
Cabinet. Three types of interfaces help to secure Pixel cards within the cabinet.
Click-pin interfaces (D): counter-part to the corner click-pins on Pixel card; ensure the right
position of the Pixel card on the cabinet.
Level screws (E): counter-part to the magnets on the Pixel card; enable to adjust possible
protrusion of the Pixel card to smoothen the surface of the LED Wall.
Pixel card network interface (F): counter-part to Pixel card connector; for data
transmission and power supply to the Pixel card.

Black Masks
The Black masks cover and protect the electronic surface between the LEDs of the Pixel card PCB.
In combination with our high-end LED-chips (A), the mask (B) is necessary to get the best
black-values, which result in a high contrast ratio of the screen.

Hub Board 3.5.4
The Hub board distributes the signals, data and power to other hardware components in the
cabinet, such as Receiving card, power supply and Pixel cards. Each Hub board has a Power
supply unit (PSU) and a Receiving card.
Hub Board Interfaces
The Hub board has several interfaces to distribute power and data. The Hub Board front (Figure
26) has the following interfaces:
8 Pixel card network interfaces (A): For data transmission and power supply to Pixel cards.
2× 2Ethernet ports (B): For data transmission from Hub board to Hub board. (Only the left
Ethernet port transmits data. The right Ethernet port has no function.)
16 screw connections to cabinet (C): To secure the Hub board in the cabinet.
Figure 26: Hub Board – Front
The backside of the Hub board has several interfaces for data and power distribution (Figure
27):
4 pin connectors to Power supply unit (D): Distribute the power from PSU to the Hub board,
e.g. for the Pixel cards or Receiving card.
1 Power-good-connector (E): Sends status of power supply to monitoring software.
Be careful when re-assembling the module, the connectors bend easily.
1 Receiving card (F): Receives data and signal input via the Ethernet cable from the external
controller. They process the signals and forward them to the Pixel cards.
1 Signal light cable (G): Forwards the status input of the module to the Signal lights on the
back of the module.

Power Supply 3.5.5
In each module, one Power supply unit (PSU) connects through a Power distribution unit (PDU) to
the power input.
The following components contribute to the power supply of a module:
1 Power supply unit (PSU) (A)
1 Power distribution unit (PDU) (B1) with PDU shielding (B2): The PDU shielding protects the
high voltage components from being touched by accident. Do not remove while power is
connected!
1 Power supply interface to Hub board (C): Counter-part to the Hub board's four pin connector
to supply the Hub board with power.

module. The three lights are red, green and blue.
Figure 30: Signal Lights on the Back of the Module
The Signal lights are fixed on a PCB (A) to the inner backside of the cabinet and connected to the
Hub board with the Signal light cable (B).
Figure 31: Signal Light Interface Connected to Hub Board
Power Bar 3.5.7
The Power bar is the LED Wall component for the distribution of data and power. It is located at the
bottom of the LED Wall and connects to each row of modules via the Network and power supply
socket. The Power bar also serves as cable conduit: The cables for power supply and data
transmission run inside the Power bar from Hub boards and the terminals to the exit points on the
back of the Power bar.

Ventilation Requirements
Caution!
Risk of fire, injuries and product damage due to overheating of the system.
Ensure proper ventilation and air flow around the system.
Never block the ventilation spaces around the LED Wall. Keep them free at all
times.
Never install the system air-tight into an alcove. Always leave the required
minimum ventilation space.
Notice
The values under D and E in the table below (see Figure 33) are reference values. Make sure the
room is well ventilated so that hot air generated by the product does not accumulate. Also, make
sure the room temperature is within the range of the environment temperature specification.
If you have questions, please contact NEC DISPLAY SOLUTIONS, see 1.2 Service & Support in
Europe.

Heat Dissipation
3.6.1
The FE Series is provided with a highly efficient LED chip to reach low power consumption, less
heat production and a long working life.
The modules are designed fan-free which ensures a super quiet operation. The whole housing of
the module is designed as heat sink.
Cooling 3.6.2
The required ventilation depends on each particular project. Depending on the structural design
and environmental temperature it may be necessary to add an external cooling.
To integrate the ideal, energy-efficient air conditioner for the LED display, you have to determine
the capacity or size you need. This is important for two reasons: An undersized unit will not cool
adequately the LED display in extremely hot weather. An oversized air conditioner can also
adversely affect your comfort. The unit may switch on and off too often, without running long
enough to dehumidify the LED display properly or cool the space uniformly. And it will consume
more energy than necessary.
Info
The ideal environment temperature for the LED display is 10 – 25 °C.

Adjustment plate
When installing cabinets, the horizontal and vertical alignment for the whole LED wall is important
so that the image surface is even – without image distortions or light aberrations.
During installation, the Adjustment plates help to align the cabinets across a given row and with
the neighboring rows. The Adjustment plates line up the connecting edges and surfaces of the
cabinets. They are used at each junction point.
After the installation of the cabinets is finished, remove the Adjustment plates. Otherwise, the
Pixel cards do not fit on the cabinet.

Installation Setup – Wall Mounting
For the limited space for installation, you may either cut a same size space as the LED display on
the wall, then install the LED display in this space or fix the support structure directly onto the wall.
It requires solid walls. Observe the ventilation requirements, see 3.6 Ventilation Requirements.
All additional fixation components and tools must be determined by a detailed static calculation to
ensure a safe and high-performance LED system. Front maintenance will be very convenient.
See section 6.1 for detailed instructions on wall mounting.
Caution!
Risk of personal injury and product damage by unsuitable wall mounting
equipment.
Before starting the installation:
Ensure that the installation site is suitable for the cable routing plan. If
necessary, mark important points of the plan on the wall used for the
installation.
Regarding the installation site: Analyze the wall used for the installation and
the weight of the complete LED Wall (see Table 5). Choose installation
equipment, e.g. tools, screws and dowels, that are suitable for the wall
conditions and the weight of the LED Wall.
Stability hazard:
The device may fall, causing serious personal injury or death. To prevent injury,
this device must be securely attached to the floor/wall in accordance with the

CLEANING
The screen brightness may decrease if dust or another foreign material is adhering to the surface
of the pixel card.
The magnet used to install the pixel cards also attracts magnetic metal particles, such as iron
powder.
Therefore, magnetic metal particles may adhere to areas near the magnet of the pixel card and
the brightness homogeneity of the screen may decrease.
Cleaning should be performed regularly depending on the installation environment.
Required tools (example)
Soft brush
(animal hair brush to prevent static electricity)
Soft cloth
(that does not generate static electricity)
Air blower (compressor)
1.
Cleaning method
Turn the LED displays off. a)
Use the soft brush to remove any dirt on the LED lamps and the masks. If these parts are b)
very dirty, use the air blower to remove the dirt.
Use the soft cloth to remove the dirt on the screen surface. c)
Repeat the steps (b) and (c) to remove all the dirt. d)
Caution!
- Do not use water or any other liquid.
- Do not use a stiff brush.
- Pay attention not to damage the LED lamps when using the soft brush, the air blower, or the
soft cloth.
