3.1 Installation environment

The plasma display and special metal fixture must be installed after careful discussion with the building owner and

manager of the building. Never undertake installation without careful consideration of the consequences. In addition,

contact the contractor responsible for building construction and interior structure design and confirm the structure and

safety of the building.

: Safety precautions

1) Structure of installation site

Be sure to use an appropriate installation method, after fully understanding the structure of the installation site.

There are many types of building structures and materials, and appropriate installation methods will vary accordingly.

When using a special metal mounting fixture, consult your dealer or the maker of the fixture.

Before drilling holes, always consider the location of wiring and piping within the building.

2) Load resistance of the installation site

Select an installation site capable of supporting the combined weight of the metal fixture and display.

“Sufficient strength to withstand” means sufficient strength to withstand a weight four times that of the

main body including the metal fixture.

3) Horizontal plane

Select a level, sturdy, installation site with sufficient load-bearing capacity.

When using suspension bolts, take care to distribute load evenly on the ceiling on the floor of the installation site.

4) Securing installation space

Select an installation site with adequate space for working. This work requires two or more people.

Remember to leave adequate space for future maintenance.

5) Peripheral equipment

Installation sites close to air conditioner outlets or light bulbs may be unsuitable due to potential damage from

dust, temperature, humidity, or condensation.

6) Dangerous location sites

Do not install the display at locations where it may be leaned against or grasped. Similarly, avoid installing at sites

subject to excessive vibration or physical shock.

7) Lighting

• For more visible display, avoid installation in very bright locations. Before choosing the location site and

method,carefully consider the location of lighting fixtures and direction and strength of sunlight.

• In bright locations, images may appear dark even if the luminance is increased. Adjusting picture brightness to

excessively high levels to compensate for extremely bright ambient lighting may reduce the service life of the

display panel.

8) Semi-outdoor installation

This machine is designed for indoor use. Installed semi-outdoors, the display will be subject to problems resulting

involving the following factors:

• Water, dust, etc.

• Changing temperature and humidity

• Air-borne salt

To ensure that pictures appear normal, avoid installation in locations subject to direct sunlight.

Installation environment

<Ver. 2.1>

9) Temperature and humidity

The installation site should conform to the following temperature and humidity conditions:

• Operating temperature range: 0 to 40 °C (Depending somewhat on installation conditions, see descriptions of

special installations and methods for installation of the standard metal fixture.)

• Operating humidity range: relative humidity 20% to 80%

• Storage temperature (Packege state): –10 to 45 °C

• Storage humidity (Packege state): relative humidity 20% to 90%

• Operating environment air pressure: 0.8 - 1.1 atmospheres

We recommend against installing electronic equipment, including this display, in high-humidity environments. If

the display must be installed at a site subject to humid conditions, observe the following:

• Never install the machine in environments having humidity falling outside the specification range.

• Ground the equipment.

• Do not allow condensation to form on any display surface.

10) Condensation

One common problem encountered during winter is condensation, drops of water that form on display surfaces

when the ambient temperature rises suddenly. Such moisture may adversely affect the performance of the display.

If condensation is observed, turn off the machine for one hour before attempting to use it again. Another solution

is to raise the ambient temperature gradually, if possible.

11) Power requirements

The voltage range required to ensure specified performance is ±10% of the rated voltage. Keep in mind that high-

impedance power distributing wires will produce an effect equivalent to a voltage drop. Watch for the following

cases, and recheck power distribution.

• The voltage drop between the switchboard and the plasma display is significant.

• When the power to the machine is turned on and off, voltage fluctuations are large.

Estimate the power consumption of this machine as 400 VA plus a safety margin.

The inrush current when the machine is turned on is approximately 70 A <30 A>.

< > shows the PDP-V401E.

12) Coverage of the remote control

The display communicates with the remote control through weak infrared signals, which typically reflect off display

surroundings. The operating range of the remote is affected by the reflective characteristics of surrounding objects.

If the range of coverage appears to be unusually short, check the following:

• Do the walls and platform for the display have a mirror or white finish?

• Are there objects near the infrared-accepting section?

• Are the remote control batteries weak or dead?

Other devices using infrared remote control and wireless systems may not work properly if located close to the

infrared-emission source of the display. Consult your dealer before using such equipment near the display.

Installation environment

<Ver. 2.1>

Installation conditions

3.2.2 Calculating calorific values

Estimate the maximum power consumption per device as 400 W plus a safety margin. Most of the power consumed

is converted to heat, so power consumption is roughly equivalent to generated heat.

1) Conversion to calories

[W] × 0.86 = [kcal/h]

Calorific value per display

400 × 0.86 = 344 [kcal/h]

2) Conversion to British thermal unit (BTU)

[W] × 3.41 = [B.t.u./h]

Calorific value per display

400 × 3.41 = 1256 [B.t.u./h]

Air flows out through five of the ventilation holes and flows in through the other holes. For special installations, such

as wall-hanging or embedding, additional restrictions apply concerning operating temperature. See “3.4 Special

installations”.

3.2 Installation conditions

3.2.1 Radiation

This display comes with multiple ventilation holes for efficient radiation of heat. Avoid blocking any of these holes.

Ventilation holes are indicated by arrows in the following drawing.

Five fans

Side slits

<Ver. 2.1>

3.2.3 Installation position

We recommend using the metal installation fixture made by Pioneer. When using a different fixture, use the M8 bolt

hole provided on this display to mount the fixture to the display. Remove the hole rivets on the back of the plasma

display, if necessary for the particular fixture. Tighten bolts with a force of 60 kg.cm or less. Overtightening may

damage the blind nuts.

• The following figure indicates mounting holes that can be used. (Use a coin or similar object to turn the cap to

remove it.)

Installation conditions

Use bolts that do not penetrate more than 13 to 20 mm from the mounting surface of the machine (see the above

side view). If the bolts used are longer than the above, they may damage the inside of the machine.

Do not block ventilating holes or blowholes in the rear of the machine.

Hot air is emitted from the ventilating holes.

Care must be taken not to weaken or soil the wall at the back of the machine with the hot air from the holes.

Glass is used in this machine. It must always be mounted on the straight face.

Installation conditions

3.2.4 Strain on surface where equipment is installed

1 This display uses glass in its display section. When using a third-party metal fixture, check that strain is 1 mm or

less by the following method.

2 Tightly fit a thread using a force of φ 0.1psi or less diagonally through the mounting bolt openings on the mounting

surface, as shown in the drawing.

3 Measure distance L of the intersection of the strings in the center section.

The relationship between strain and L is given by Strain = L × 2.

4 If L is 0, interchange the front and rear positions of two strings and check the distance again. If the value of L is not

0, it is the true value of L. If L is 0 after the position is changed, strain is approximately 0.

Installation procedure

3.3.3 Wiring

1) Power source connection

• Refer to Power cord connection on page 24 <36, 82> of the instruction manual.

• For power source capacity, see the description given in “3.1 Installation environment, 11) Power requirements”

in this manual.

2) Signal cable connection

(1) Connecting to a PC

• See the description given in Connecting to a PC , on pp. 19 to 20 <26 to 29, 72 to 75> of the instruction

manual.

(2) Connecting to a video cassette recorder

• See the description given in Connection to a video cassette recorder , on pp. 21 to 23 <30 to 35, 76 to

81> of the instruction manual.

(3) Precautions

• Use coaxial cables. For video signals, use the 3C-2V for lengths of 15 m or less, and the 5C-2V for lengths of

30 m or less. Since data signals are more easily degraded than video signals, use a thick cable (e.g. a 5C-2V

cable) for data communications, even for lengths of 15 m or less. Try to minimize the distance between the

signal transmission device and the plasma display unit.

• If a video cable is wired close to a dimmer, neon tube, air conditioner, or other device, or if it is wired in

parallel to a cable television cable, display performance may be affected.

< > shows the PDP-V401E.

3) Treatment of wires

• For long-term or permanent installations, rather than short-term installations for specific events, use wires of

the proper length, carefully considering the placement of all other wires.

• Place wires so that no load or force is applied to the connecting terminals. For short-term use, wires may be

bundled with string. For long-term installations, form wire bunches using cable clamps.

4) Mounting cable clamp

Use a cable clamp to form cable bunches in the upward direction, as shown in the drawing.

Cable clamps are supplied for bundling connection cables.

Follow these steps when using cable clamps:

Caution

Peel off the label covering the mounting holes before attaching the cable clamps.

When cables are inserted in a cable clamp, keep the clamp at least 10 cm from the wall to allow

ventilation.

<Back>

Peel off the paper at the back and insert the supplied

cable clamp into the mounting holes until it clicks.

Special installations (Fixing on a structure)

3.4 Special installations

This display may be installed in several different positions, including wall-hanging and wall-embedding. Conditions,

including temperature, may restrict the use of certain positions or installation methods.

Consider installation methods and conditions, and see the description given in “3.1 to 3.3” in this chapter.

All the measurement conditions in this manual are set in conformity with the following:

• 100% white light is applied.

• After sufficient aging

All measurements should be performed under the same conditions. The aging time needed for measurement

depends on the size of the installation space, but the standard time is approximately 2.5 hours.

“Sufficient strength to withstand” means sufficient strength to withstand a weight four times that of the main body

including the metal fixture.

3.4.1 Fixing on a structure

To fix the machine on a structure, observe the following conditions:

1 Before fixing on a structure, make sure that the space around the structure is open. 2 After fixing on a structure, the distortion of the unit must be within 1 mm. 3 Do not block holes other than those shown blocked in the fixing figure on the next page. 4 Use a structure 20 mm or less in thickness.

(In the case of the fixing examples 1 and 4 on the next page, the thickness of the structure is not limited.)

5 If an L-shaped structure is used, the thickness of the structure must be 100 mm or less. 6 Use a structure with sufficient strength. 7 Care must be taken not to apply stress to the power cable.

* The descriptions in 2 - 7 indicate the common precautions for fixing the machine on the structure in “wall-hanging”

and “wall-embedding.”

Special installations (Wall hanging)

3.4.2 Wall hanging

This display may be wall-mounted. Since this form of mounting affects ventilation patterns inside, observe the following

requirements:

1 When mounting plate metal, avoid blocking any ventilation holes. Use plate metal of the size indicated in the

following drawing.

2 Provide space for adequate ventilation between the wall and the display. 3 Use plate metal having sufficient strength (with a safety factor of approximately four), and attach at four points (4-

point mounting) as shown below. Since wall installations involve certain hazards, always follow double-safety

procedures.

4 The following table lists proper operating temperatures. Use the display within the listed range of outside air

temperature.

3.4.3 Wall embedding

This display is designed to accommodate embedding in a wall. Note that the allowable range of outside-air temperature

depends on the installation conditions. Please observe the following requirements:

1 If the unit must be embedded in the wall, you must not block the side slots of the unit.

Avoid blocking the ventilating holes in the rear as much as possible.

2 Use a metal mounting fixture that does not block the side slits or the back ventilation holes, and attach at a

minimum of four points. To avoid breaking the PDP panel, limit any twisting or bending stress applied to the

display to 1 mm or less.

3 Do not use cable clamps for this installation method. Cable clamps can interfere with proper ventilation and

result in device failure.

(3) When the back of the wall is in a closed space:

Operating this display in confined spaces is not recommended.

• If the display is to be used in confined spaces, observe the following conditions shown in the drawing above:

A ≥ 150 mm B ≥ 250 mm C ≥ 30 mm

• Keep the temperature in the closed space “Y” and the open space “X” at 40 °C or less. In particular,

the space “Y” should be ventilated sufficiently by the air conditioner or fan so that hot air is not

trapped in the space.

Thus, everywhere in “Y” must be kept at 40°C or less. If hot air remains in the

closed space, the temperature may rise, causing a malfunction or fire. As a precaution in case of accidents,

the inner wall should have sufficient heat resistance or fire resistance. Direct air from the air conditioner in the

direction of the arrow (from where no fan is installed to where a fan is provided).
