1.1 DESCRIPTION

AlphaPIX6T is a LED module for the creation of ledscreens with 6,6 mm pixel pitch, ideal for video screen-

ing, pictures and backgrounds for medium viewing distances from ledwall surface.

The architecture of AlphaPIX6T is conceived with 640x720 mm module size, featuring 10368 SMD Full-

Color LEDs for an impressive light output (up to 5500 NIT, suitable for day-light environments).

2. INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

This chapter species the requirements for safety, mechanism, electricity and control software of APIX6T

LED display.

Warning: This LED indoor product is designed for outdoor. Both outdoor and indoor can be used.

2.1 Mechanical Requirements

Weight Warning: Do not underestimate the weight of a complete APIX6T LED display. Be sure that The

oor or truss installation on which the APIX6T display has to be installed is capable of Handling ve (5)

times the complete load of the display. For oor mounting, conclude the weight of any other load.

Caution: One APIX6T tile weighs approximately 13.5 kg.

Horizontal surface

For oor installation, the oor on which APIX6T display is installed must be horizontal. Never install LED

display on a slant surface.

Ballast

Depending on the height of the display and the position of the LED display upon the foot beams (some-

where between front and middle) additional weight (ballast)will be required.

Truss beam

The truss beam has to be provided and installed by the customer. Pay attention to following points for

installation design and preparation. Calculate precisely for on individual basis.

Weight tolerances:

Ensure that the truss beam and the ceiling against which the truss beam has to be installed is able to han-

dle the complete weight of the APIX6T LED display.

Ceiling stability.

Installation ambience

Environmental conditions: humidity, ventilation, temperature, etc.

Location: Altitude, etc.

Front clearances: for optimal eect, ensure that enough free space is supplied in front of the LED display

and respect the minimum viewing distance.

Comply with local regulations regarding such installations.

Warning: Suspending installation is limited to 15 tiles in vertical direction.

2.2 Electrical Requirements

Power requirements

The displaying area of one APIX6T tile is 0.460 m². APIX6T LED tiles have pixel densities (see Appendix A –

technical specications). For dierent pixel densities, one APIX6T tile may need power supply of 0.6 amps

to 1.5 amps at 220VAC, 100-250VAC, 50-60 Hz. Each APIX6T tile has one input and one output socket of AC

power. The power is distributed to display tiles by power split cables from power distributor. However, one

power split cable can be connected with 8 – 20 tiles in parallel. So, one power split cable has to be provid-

ed for every 8 – 20 tiles. Protect every power cable by a circuit breaker or fuses rated 16 A / 250 VAC (15 A /

110 VAC in the USA and Canada). PROLIGHTS provides a range of power distributor to satisfy the demands

of your LED display. See more details for power distributor of LED display in Power Distribution Section.

Contact PROLIGHTS for more information.

APIX6T

Power system

It is recommended to use power distribution system with a separate neutral and grounding

conductor to avoid large current loops due to voltage dierences in the neutral conductor.

•Installthedisplayinaccordancewithlocalelectricalinstallationstandards.InEurope,complywith

EN 60364, the standard for electrical installation of buildings. In Germany, comply with EN 60364. In

America, comply with National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70.

Protective grounding

To prevent against the risk of electric shock, the installation should be properly grounded. Defeating

the purpose of grounding will expose you to the risk of electric shock.

2.3 System Requirements

Before you begin, it is assumed that you are familiar with the Windows operating software. Windows

7 Ultimate is allowed to launch the relative control software.

3. SYSTEM INTRODUCTION

3.1 Brief Introduction

APIX6T is the LED indoor display product of PROLIGHTS that uses die-casting aluminum frame

with CNC high precision machining techniques. With it‘s compact, light and handy exterior, the LED

tile is easy to install and disassemble. As the tile dimension is of very high precision, so the whole

display keeps in high atness and seamless.
