Installing the mounting sheets

Install the mounting sheets and tiles onto a support structure that can support the combined load of the product and meets all local safet

Use these steps as a high-level workflow for installing the mounting sheets. For detailed instructions, refer to the page identified in the step.

1. Using a laser level to project a plumb line, ensuring approximately 65mm is between the wall surface and the laser line, measure the distance to the structural mounting surface in various locations over the intended installation area.

If the variation over all measurements exceeds 15mm or 5/8", adjust the plumb line so all the measurements to the wall are 15mm or less.

Make note of the location of the extreme variations in the wall depth. This will assist in establishing a starting point when installing the mounting template.

2. In the bottom center of the array, level and attach the mounting template to the surface (on page 15).

3. Install and level all remaining mounting templates for the array.

4. For the entire array, attach the magnetic anchors in the marked locations on the mounting template (on page 17).

5. Install the screw anchors for the first mounting sheet.

6. Mount the sheet on the anchors (on page 17).

7. Install the adjacent mounting sheets in the array (on page 21).

8. After the sheets have been installed, adjust the wall to be flat (on page 19).

y standards and regulations.

Hanging the mounting template

Use two people to hang the mounting template. One mounting template provides guidance for two sheets and multiple mounting anchors.

1. Ensure the wall is flat and there is less than 15mm or 5/8" difference in depth across the wall.

2. Locate the bottom center of the array and hang the first mounting template at this location so the edge of the template aligns with the center of the array.

a) Orient the mounting template so all text is readable and not upside down.

b) Using a laser level, set a level and plumb line that intersects with the center line of the

anchor in the bottom left corner of the mounting template.

c) Adjust the mounting template so the cross hairs of the anchors at the horizontal and

vertical edges of the template are aligned to the level and plumb lines.

d) Affix the mounting template in place on the wall with staples or low-adhesive two-sided

tape.

Christie recommends putting the staples or adhesive tape close to the anchor locations on the mounting template. This helps to keep the mounting template from lifting while drilling pilot holes.

3. Install the adjacent mounting template.

a) Orient the mounting template so all text is readable.

b) Overlap the alignment markers (X) of the initial mounting template with the markers on

the adjacent mounting template.

ev. 1 (07-2022)

Installation and setup

c) Use a laser level to ensure the mounting template is level and to verify the anchor

mark

ers across two mounting templates are aligned.

d) Verify the mounting template is in the correct position, relative to the other mounting

templates.

• For new mounting templates in a column, measure the distance between the top of the level line crosshair on one sheet and the top of the level line crosshair of the next mounting template. The distance between the tops of each line should match the distance indicated on the template (P/N: 020-103242-XX).

• For new mounting templates in a row, measure the distance between the right side of the center line of the left mounting template and the right side of the center line of the right mounting template. The distance between the center lines should match the distance indicated on the template (P/N: 020-103242-

XX).

The other dimensions shown on the template can be used as a reference for positioning and verifying the setup as required.

e) Affix the mounting template in place on the wall with staples or low-adhesive two-sided

tape.

1. Prepare the mounting surface.

Smooth contiguous structural walls:

•

a. Using a 1/8 inch or 3 mm drill bit, pre-drill the mounting screw holes (A) for each

anchor location in the array.

Use the cross-hairs to locate the center of each anchor mount hole.

b. Place the anchor on the mounting template, ensuring the anchor is completely within

the anchor location outline.

•

For modular frame structures such as extrusion or Unistrut, the center of the internal vertical members must be 240.1 mm apart. The distance between the closest internal vertical and an edge vertical is approximately 219 mm but may vary based on the installation.

2. Install the screws in the top and center of the anchor, securing the anchor to the surface. Tighten the screws to 84 in-lb.

The anchors are designed to accommodate #12 wood screws, 6 mm machine screws, and ¼ inch machine screws.

• Use the magnetic anchors (B) around the perimeter of the sheet location and the nonmagnetic anchors (C) for interior locations.

For anchors on the interior of the mounting sheet, the location of the adjustment screw does not matter

• For anchors along the top of the array, rotate the anchor 180° so the T portion of the anchor is to the interior of the array.

• For anchors along the sides of the array, relocate the adjustment screw (D) to the interior of the array. To move the adjustment screw, remove the screw, and re-install it on the

4. With the assistance of another person, lift and attach the sheet onto the magnetic anchors.

The second person should continue to hold the sheet in place on the magnets until it is secured.

To secure the sheet to the anchors, install a washer and the M6 screw into the anchor. Finger tighten the screw.

6. Using a laser level, square and level the sheet, ensuring the sheet holes are centered over the anchor screw holes.

7. Install and fully tighten the washers and screws securing the sheet to the anchors to 84 in-lbs, ensuring all holes are filled.

8. For the remaining sheets in the array, repeat step 2 to 7, keeping the screws hand tightened until all leveling and adjusting is complete.

Adjusting the wall to be flat

To ensure the LED tiles install properly, adjust the mounting sheets to be flat.

During the Z plane adjustments of the wall, two screws must secure the mounting sheet to the anchors at all times.

1. Set the laser level to be nominally parallel to the wall, ensuring approximately 65 mm is between the wall surface and the laser line.

To make the distance consistent across the chassis plain, adjust the laser as needed.

ev. 1 (07-2022)

Page 20

2. Identify a point where the laser hits the tool and consistently use this point as the location being analyz

ed while the wall is being adjusted.

The laser should hit this point anywhere on the wall.

Be sure to consistently reference the same edge of the laser line when aligning Z.

3. Locate the area of the wall that requires the most adjustment.

4. Place the magnetic block of the depth adjustment tool onto the sheet.

5. Slide the anchor adjustment screw (D) to extend or retract the anchor shaft until the sheet is in a position where the laser hits the identified point on the tool.

6. When the adjustment on the anchor is complete, securely finger tighten the anchor adjustment screw

Installation and setup

If additional adjustments are required later, loosen the screw before adjusting the anchor. Slide the anchor adjustment screw (D) to extend or retr

act the anchor shaft until the sheet is in a

position where the laser hits the identified point on the tool.

To achieve the needed adjustment, it may be necessary to loosen the surrounding anchors.

7. After the anchor is adjusted, mark the location on the metal sheet.

Marking an anchor as completed helps identify the anchors still requiring adjustments.

8. For all anchors in the array repeat steps 3 to 7.

To ensure the mounting sheets remain level and plumb, leave the laser level on during the alignment of the entire wall.

9. After the entire wall is adjusted, fully tighten the anchor adjustment screws to 84 in-lbs.

Adjusting and leveling the mounting sheets

After installing and securing the metal mounting sheet, ensure they are level and verify the space between the mounting sheets is correct.

1. From the rear of the installed sheet, attach the sheet couplers at all sheet alignment feature locations on the edges where adjacent sheets are being installed with two M5 button head screws.

Secure a minimum of two sheet couplers to each side. To allow for movement when the adjacent sheet is installed, do not fully tighten the sheet coupler screws.

Insert the sheet locate tool into the hole on the sheet coupler.

It may be necessary to adjust the sheets to allow space for the tool to be inserted.

Turn the sheet locate tools so the notches on the top of the tool are pointing at the gap between two mounting sheets.

4. On a side where two sheets meet, install the chassis on the two corners.

5. On one corner, install an LED module board at the edge of the sheet, and install the LED module on the edge of the adjacent sheet.

6. If the second LED module is in danger of colliding with the first LED module, turn the sheet locate tool to separate the sheets until the LED modules have 0.14 microns between them.

7. Tighten the screw closest to the edge of the sheet to hold the position of the sheet corner.

8. On the other corner of the sheet, repeat steps 2 to 7.

ev. 1 (07-2022)

Page 22

Installation and setup

Adjusting one corner may shift the location of the opposite corner. To produce a level install, it ma

y be necessary to re-adjust the corners.

9. When the new sheet is level, tighten all the sheet couplers to 84 in-lbs.

10. For each side of each sheet, repeat steps 1 to 9.

11. Repeat this procedure for all sheets in the array.

5. Hang one end of an Ethernet cable in the location on the mounting sheet where an LED tile will be installed and connect the other end of the cable into an Octroller port.

To avoid an increase in temperature, where possible connect QSFP+ connectors into the lower row of ports.

A maximum of eight LED tiles can be connected to a single Octroller.

Various lengths of CAT 6 unshielded, UTP, 24 AWG pre-terminated cables are available from Christie. Alternatively, a custom length of Ethernet cable can be created using the Christie Cat 6 cable spool (P/N: 161-120104-XX), rJ45 Connect kit (P/N: 161-122106-XX) and Ethernet crimping tool (P/N: 11-121105-XX).

6. For each tile in the array repeat step 5.

Installation and setup

Installing the chassis and LED tiles

Mount the LED chassis and LED modules on the metal sheet.

The LEDs on the modules are fragile. Handle the LED modules with extreme care.

1. On the LED wall controller, display the Module ID using the ID menu.

Connect the Ethernet cables to the LED chassis.

While the tiles are powering on, the LED flashes blue. After the tiles are fully powered on, the LED is solid green.

3. Optionally, feed the tether through the sheet and chassis.

4. Set the chassis into the mounting sheet locations, lining up the locator pins in the chassis with the mounting sheet locate features.

The magnets on the rear of the chassis securely snap the chassis onto the mounting sheet.

5. To ensure the chassis is seated properly, push the chassis down and to the left.

6. Check the web user interface to confirm Neighbor Detection is working.

When the detection is successful, the web user interface displays the correct tile layout grid.

7. In the web user interface, to start the automatic tile mapping, select Auto Map.

Christie recommends automatically mapping the tiles in the array after the chassis are installed, and after the LED tiles are installed on the chassis.

8. Optional, attach the tether to the LED module.

9. Set the LED modules onto the chassis.

Be aware of adjacent, already installed module boards. If the LED modules appear to be overlapping, alignment issues exist. Stop installing LED modules until the surrounding chassis are located into the correct position and the overlap is resolved.

As each LED module is installed on the chassis, check for damaged or missing LEDs. If any LEDs are non-functioning, replace the LED module.

10. In the web user interface, to start the automatic tile mapping, select Auto Map.

Setting up MicroTiles LED for 3D

MicroTiles LED is capable of displaying stereoscopic 3D video sources, relying on additional hardware (stereo emitters and glasses) to complete the display system.

3D is only available on 1.25mm tiles.

Images generated from a stereo 3D video source consist of a series of images (frames) that alternate quickly between two slightly different viewpoints, corresponding to our left and right ey frames are displayed fast enough and viewed with special glasses synchronized to the left/right (L/R) changes, the resulting image appears with the same depth and perspective sense in the real world.

MicroTiles LED uses a dual-input configuration for displaying 3D content, where two video streams are provided by the video server, with the left eye supplied by one stream and the right eye supplied by the other. The video streams are frame locked and supplied concurrently.
