Safety Information

The PS7050/PS7050T is a 70” diagonal edge-lit LED LCD display that can be mounted in either portrait or landscape orientation.

The PS7050/PS7050T have a native full HD (1920 x 1080) resolution and an aspect ratio of 16:9.

Both models are designed for up to 24x7 performance and come standard with a variety of commercial grade features.

The PS7050T model also incorporates embedded interactive touch supporting up to 10 touch points and a wide range of operating systems.

Caution: This manual is intended for use by qualified service persons and end users with experience installing LCD displays.

This display was designed with safety in mind. If you don’t heed the safety warnings and cautions, you could get hurt. The safety warnings are on stickers in various places in and on the display.

Important Safety Instructions

1) Read these instructions.

2) Keep these instructions.

3) Heed all warnings.

4) Follow all instructions.

5) Do not use any of the Planar LCD products near water.

6) Clean the LCD screens with an LCD screen cleaner or LCD wipes.

stoves or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

8) Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong is provided for your safety. When the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for the replacement of the obsolete outlet.

9) Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles and the point where they exit from any of the Planar LCD products.

10) Only use the attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.

11) Unplug all Planar LCD displays during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.

12) You must follow all National Electrical Code regulations. In addition,

turn off the display when not in use.

be aware of local codes and ordinances when installing your system.

13) Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when any of the displays have been damaged in any way. For example, if the AC power cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into a display, the displays have been exposed to rain or moisture, do not operate normally or have been dropped.

14) Keep the packing material in case the equipment should ever need to be shipped.

Normal use of an LCD is defined as displaying continuously changing video patterns or images. However, LCDs can experience temporary image retention when recommended usage guidelines are not followed.

What is Temporary Image Retention?

Temporary image retention (TIR) can occur when a static image is displayed continuously for extended periods of time (12 hours or longer). An electrical charge differential may build up between the electrodes of the liquid crystal, which causes a negative-color video image (color-inverted and brightness-inverted version of the previous image) to be retained when a new image is displayed. This behavior is true for any LCD device from any LCD manufacturer.

15) Wall mounts must be secure. The wall must be strong enough to hold all displays, mounts, brackets and cables.

16) Slight pressure on the LCD will cause distortion of the image. Heavier pressure will cause permanent damage. Displays should be mounted in a way that viewers cannot insert small objects in the openings that will create hazards by contacting bare conductive parts.

17) The front polarizer is soft and subject to scratches from sharp objects. The polarizer is a thin sheet of film laminated to the outside layer of glass on the LCD screen. Take care when handling items near the screen.

Recommended Usage

In order to get the most out of your LCD, use the following recommended guidelines to optimize the display.

Burn-In Versus Temporary Image Retention

Burn-in causes the screen to retain an image essentially forever, with little or no way to correct the problem. Under normal use, an LCD will not experience burn-in, as plasma displays do, nor will it retain images in any way.

TIR is not covered under warranty. See standard warranty terms and conditions for details. Here are some guidelines to help you avoid TIR:

• Use the LCD to show a screen saver, moving images or still pictures that change regularly. When using high-contrast images, reposition the images frequently.

• Turn off the LCD when it is not in use. To use your source computer’s Power Options Properties, set up your computer to

Caution: For optimal performance, we suggest turning off the backlight power on the display for six hours per day.

Normal Usage Guidelines

Normal use of the LCD is defined as operating in the open air to prevent heat buildup, and without direct or indirect heat sources such as lighting fixtures, heating ducts, or direct sunlight that can cause the modules to experience high operating temperatures. For all modules, do not block fans or ventilation openings. If the LCD module will be installed in a recessed area with an LCD surround or enclosure, ensure adequate openings are applied for proper air flow and ventilation.

At 2000 meters or below, the maximum ambient operating temperature for the LCD module cannot be above 50º C nor below the minimum ambient operating temperature of 0º C. If one of these conditions exists, it is up to the installer to ensure that placement is changed, thermal shielding is provided and/or additional ventilation is provided to keep the display within its nominal operating parameters.

Cooling Requirements

Keep in mind the following general installation guidelines:

Package Contents

For optimal performance, active cooling by the installer should be planned for when the ambient temperature at the top of the wall is predicted to be above the specified ambient temperature for the panel. Cooling may be done behind the displays and depending on the wall configuration, it may be helpful to place air ducts (AC) at every third display tall.

Cleaning the PS7050/PS7050T

If dust has collected on the power plug, removed the plug from the outlet and clean off the dust. Dust build-up may cause a fire.

Remove the power plug before cleaning. Failure to do so may result in electrical shock or damage.

VESA Mounts, General Description

VESA mounts are used to secure the PS7050/PS7050T for display. The displays can be installed using a variety of VESA mounts available through Planar. If you do not have a VESA mount and would like to purchase one, contact Planar.

If you purchased a VESA mount, you should have a received a separate box with mounting supplies and an Installation manual. Follow these instructions carefully.

• Screw length is crucial and will vary depending on the type of mount you use. Total screw length will include the penetration length plus the length required by the type of VESA mount in use.

Caution: Shorter screws will result in insufficient mounting strength and longer screws could puncture parts inside the display.

Prior to installation, make sure you know where all of the mounting points are located. Follow all safety precautions outlined in the VESA Mount Installation manual.

Keep the following points in mind when cleaning the surface of the display:

• When the surface of the display becomes dirty, wipe the surface lightly with a soft clean cloth.

• If the surface requires additional cleaning, use LCD screen cleaner or LCD wipes, which are available at most electronics stores.

• Do not let cleaner seep into the display, as it may cause electrical shock or damage.

Unpacking the PS7050/PS7050T

The PS7050/PS7050T is packed in a cardboard box. The display is packed using foam to protect it during shipping. Before unpacking the display , prepare a stable, level and clean surface near a wall outlet. Place the LCD panel box in an upright position. Remove the entire top of the box and the top shipping foam.
