1.2.6.3.2.For 50”Single

According to circumstances, attach the optional external AC fans (JC-AF115R or JC-AF230R) on the intake vents in the bottom row (see “External AC fan attaching” on page 17).

•Prepare openings on base stands to ventilate.

•Keep enough base stand height not to inhale a coat of dust on a floor from the intake vents.

1.To block the bottom row, detach the bottom duct cover from inside the cube and attach it on the bottom of the duct. Be sure this work is only for the cubes in the bottom row.

2.To block the top row, remove the cushion unit on the top at first. Then detach the top duct cover from the top surface of the cube and attach it on the top of the duct. Be sure this work is only for the cubes in the top row.

Intake vent

External AC fan attaching (occasional)

When 4-high configuration with 50”Single, attach the optional external AC fans (JC-AF115R or JC-AF230R) on intake vents. Even in 3-high configuration, attach the AC fans as well, when spaces are narrower than 50cm to the ceiling and 10cm to the wall behind. Narrow spaces tend to rise the cube internal heat. Be sure this work is only for the cubes in the bottom row.

1.Attach a suitable plug to the bare end of the power cord of the fan to correspond with an interface such as a terminal block or a power strip. 2-meter AC power cord is included in the fan.

2.Insert the fan into the intake vent till click.

3.Fix it to the lower part of cube with the screw supplied

with the fan. Note:

• To avoid injuries and shock hazards, do not carry External

electricity to the fan during this work. It must be done by qualified personnel.

1.2.7. Screen open/close (for Front )

Cabling or lamp replacement, etc. requires opening the screen unit. Be careful not to trap your

fingers during the work.

The open/close should be performed on a one-by-one basis in a display wall so as not to shift the center of gravity much.

In particular, 67” may cause topple

down due to wide shifting of the center of gravity. When you open/close the screen units on stand-alone cubes without fixing to a base stand or other cubes, be sure to use the support base which is contained in the cube carton box.

1.2.7.1. Screen opening

Caution

About one-meter space in front of the screens is needed for the opening. Prior to work, make sure that there is no object such as steps in the working space.

1.3. Connecting

1.3.1. Control signal connection

An external controller such as a personal computer etc. can control cubes through RS-232 format communication. In the case of a display wall, connect the external controller to a MASTER cube set by dipswitch (chapter 1.4.2, on page 28) with RS-232 cross cable, and connect CONTROL IN and CONTROL OUT terminals between cubes with supplied control cables. Do not connect to a loop.

Allocating ID numbers by dipswitch, each cube can be controlled separately by one controller. Up to 64 cubes can be chained in one control line.

1.3.2. Image signal connection

Connect (an) image input source(s) with cubes adequately.

1.3.2.1. In the case of daisy chain

In the case of an enlarged image displaying with digital daisy chain connection, install the optional input boards (chapter 1.2.3, on page 7) and connect DIGITAL IN and DIGITAL OUT terminals between cubes with digital cables (DVI-D) that are supplied with the boards. The digital image signal can be chained up to 16 cubes.

Run cables through the holes located on both sides and top/bottom.

For the vertical cabling: Thread the supplied plastic cable ties through the holes in 3 mount bases to fix on the rear surface of the back panel, and fasten the cables with the ties.

For the horizontal cabling:

50”Single: Route the cables through the guide below the mirror and fasten them with supplied cable ties as appropriate not to shade picture images from the optical unit.

50”Changer: Run the cables through the cable guide behind the mirror.

67”: Thread the supplied cable ties through the holes in 5 mount bases to fix on the rear surface of the skirt part, and fasten the cables with the ties.

Caution

For the safety reason, do not allocate a power strip inside the cube cabinet. It is recommended to use the optional 3-meter power cord.

1.4.1.2.1.Normal mode

The normal mode allows you to turn off the power by [POWER] button, to display status information by [DISPLAY] button, to change the operation mode by [NORMAL] button and to call a display memory by number buttons.

Adjustment menus cannot be called in the normal mode.

1.4.1.2.2. Advanced mode
In advanced mode, status information appears on screen as
		! ANALOG NO SIGNAL	ID01
described in right figure.
1. Status display:	Status Input port Comment		Set ID

•“!” mark appears when values in a menu are changed. It is also displayed when a value is automatically changed by internal process.

•In Changer, “ ” mark appears when the status of a spare lamp is other than “NEW”.

•During lamp position auto calibration (for Changer) and initial sensor value obtaining, the operating status is noticed with figures such as “3”, “4” or “7”. When the function has worked correctly, it disappears after 5-minute displaying.

2.Input port: Displaying current input port.
