Chapter 1 Product Introduction
1.1 Overview
Indoor fixed LED display unit (hereinafter referred to as the device, the product, or the LED) is a
high-precision product delivering clear and vivid images. It is featured by wide color gamut, stable
performance, long service life, strong environmental adaption, cost effective and little cost to use.
The device is applicable to scenes, such as radio and television stations, meeting room display,
video security, information display, etc.
1.2 Product Components
An LED control system includes sending and receiving cards. The sending card packages images
and sends them to the receiving card. The receiving card unpackages and processes the images,
and then displays the images on the LED display unit.
The center distance between two pixels is called pixel pitch. The smaller pixel pitch results in
higher pixel density per unit area, higher resolution and higher cost. For example, P1.2 indicates
1.2 mm pixel pitch.
Our products are rack-mount system, so the installation process mainly involves rack installation
and cabinet installation. The following sections describe how to install the rack and cabinet in
details.

Chapter 2 Rack Installation
2.1 About Rack
There are three types of racks for installing our full-color LED products: wall-mounted rack,
ultrathin rack and all-in-one rack. The wall-mounted rack is used for installing front-maintenance
cabinets only. The ultrathin rack and all-in-one rack can be used for installing front-maintenance
cabinets and back-maintenance cabinets. The rack models vary depending on the project scale and
installation environment, so the rack illustrations in this manual are for reference only.
2.2 Install the Rack
2.2.1 Precautions
● Installation personnel must wear protective gear.
● Take safety measures when working at heights.
● Make sure that the rack is mounted vertically to the flat ground without tilting or twisting.
● Check that all structural parts and fasteners are fully mounted without missing.
● After all the accessories are mounted, clean all the debris in the rack and avoid metal debris
being remained.
2.2.2 Install the Wall-Mounted Rack
The wall-mounted rack is used for installing front-maintenance cabinets only.

Chapter 3 Cabinet Installation
3.1 Introduction
3.1.1 About the Cabinet
A cabinet is a basic unit for LED engineering installation in which LED modules are neatly mounted
on a metal sheet (cast aluminum) box, with a built-in independent receiving card and switching
power supply, an engineering installation structure, and independent display.
3.1.2 Load Capability of the Cabinet
Load Capability of Network Interfaces
The load capability of a single network interface of the sending card is limited. You can calculate
the max load of a single network interface by the following formula.
Max Load of a Network Interface = Pixel Capacity of a Network Interface/Cabinet Resolution
Example
If equipped with a sending card of 650,000 pixels, the max load of a single network interface for a
P1.2 cabinet of 480 × 270 resolution is 5 cabinets.
Note
You can choose sending cards of different pixels and cabinets of different resolution, and
calculate the load capability by the formula.
Load Capability of Power Cords
The load capability of a single power cord is limited. You can calculate the max load of a single
power cord by the following formula.
Max Load of a Single Power cord = Power of the Cord/Power of the Cabinet
Note
You can choose power cords and cabinets of different specifications, and calculate the load
capability by the formula.

3.2 Install the Cabinets
3.2.1 Precautions
Read the following precaution tips before you install the LED screens:
● Install the LED screens after the decoration construction is completed.
● Avoid humid or high-pH environment to prevent damage to the LED lamps.
● Do not expose the device to rain or humid environment to reduce the risk of fire or electric
shock.
Indoor Fixed LED Display Unit Installation Guide
46
● Electric discharge may last for a short period of time after the power is shut down. Please wait
two minutes after the power is shut down to operate the device.
● Only use the original power cord delivered with the device. Contact authorized dealer to
purchase power cord with same specifications.
● Please do not frequently plug and unplug the power cord when the power is on.
3.2.2 Stitch Cabinet Frames
Cabinet Frame Locating
Align two cabinet frames with the locating studs, locating holes, and installation holes. Single
cabinet frame is equipped with two locating studs, two locating holes, two sets of horizontal
installation holes, and several sets of vertical installation holes.
Figure 3-3 Locate Studs and Installation Holes
Stitch Cabinet Frames Horizontally
Steps
1. Align the installation holes in the horizontal direction of the two adjacent cabinet frames, and
adjust the cabinet frames to the relative height.
Indoor Fixed LED Display Unit Installation Guide
47
2. Insert the M6 step screws from right to left into the installation holes.
Figure 3-4 Align the Cabinet Horizontally
Stitch Cabinet Frames Vertically
Steps
1. Align the locating studs in the vertical direction of the two adjacent cabinet frames to the
locating holes, and adjust the cabinet frames vertically against each other.
2. Fix the cabinet frames down to up with the M6 screws.
Indoor Fixed LED Display Unit Installation Guide

Figure 3-5 Align the Cabinet Vertically
Note
The cabinets support special-shaped stitching vertically. You can stitch them through the
reserved vertical installation holes according to the actual conditions.
3.3 Connect the Power Cords and Network Cables
3.3.1 Connect the Power Cords
Internal Power Cord Connection
Pull the power cords through the cable holes between cabinets. Connect one end of the cord to
POWER IN interface, and the other end to POWER OUT interface.
Indoor Fixed LED Display Unit Installation Guide
49
Figure 3-6 Internal Power Cord Connection
External Power Cord Connection
Steps
1. Pull the power cord through the reserved hole on the bottom of the cabinet, and connect to the
external power supply.
2. If the actual number of cabinets exceeds the max load of the power cord, remove the cover
plates of the cable holes on the left or right sides of the overloaded cabinets and pull the power
cords through the holes to connect to external power supply.
Indoor Fixed LED Display Unit Installation Guide
50
Figure 3-7 External Power Connection
3.3.2 Connect the Network Cables
The load capability of a single network interface is limited.
● If the actual number of cabinets is within the maximum load, connect a single network cable
to the cabinets in the same column.
● If the actual number of cabinets exceeds the maximum load, extra network cables are needed.
Note
The max loads of different screen types are different. For the formula to calculate the load
capability, see Load Capability of the Cabinet.
Indoor Fixed LED Display Unit Installation Guide
51
Within the Maximum Load
Take 17 × 4 cabinets with 1 × 4 P2.6 receiving cards for example. The resolution of the receiving
cards is 384 × 96, and the maximum load of a single network cable is 17 receiving cards.
To connect the network cables, pull a single network cable through the holes on one column of
the cabinets and plug into one network interface of the sending card. See the following figure for
the cable connection.

actual number of cabinets exceeds the maximum load, please follow this instruction to connect
the network cables.
Steps
1. Follow the step shown in the last part to connect the 17 rows of cabinets within the maximum
load.
2. Remove the cover plates on the first row of overloaded cabinet, for example, the 18th row of
cabinets in the following figure, and pull another network cable through the holes on one
column of the cabinets from 18th to 20th rows. Plug it into another network interface of the
sending card.
