This chapter is for installers. Installers should read this information along with the installation instructions included with the display before they install the display.

WARNING

Improper installation of the display can result in injury and product damage.

Moving the display to the installation site

After your organization receives the display, you need to move it to the place where you plan to install it.

On occasion, you might also need to move the display to another location after initially installingit.

9 smarttech.com/kb/171288

Page 20

CHAPTER2

INSTALLING THE DISPLAY

IMPORTANT

l Move the display at your own risk. SMART cannot accept liability for damages or injury that

occur during the display’s transportation.

l When moving the display

Follow local safety regulations and standards.

Keep the display in its original packaging.

Move the display so that its top frame faces up.

Have at least two people move the display.

TIP

Display packaging may be labeled to indicate which side is the front. Look for “FRONT” on the packaging to help orient the box during transportation.

Using transportation aides

You can use the following aides to move the display:

l Cart

l Furniture dolly

l Mechanical lift

Accommodating doorways, hallways and elevators

In some situations, you might need to remove the display from its packaging to move it through narrow doorways or hallways or on to an elevator. In these situations, SMART recommends that you keep the foam pieces on the bottom corners of the display. These foam pieces protect the display if you need to set it down during transportation.

You might also need to rotate the display so that its top frame faces to the side. You can do this during transportation, but when you install the display, it must be in landscape orientation (with the top frame facing up).

10 smarttech.com/kb/171288

Page 21

CHAPTER2

INSTALLING THE DISPLAY

Dealing with cracked, chipped or shattered glass

The display contains safety-tempered glass. Although this glass is heat-strengthened to help withstand impacts, the glass can crack, chip or shatter if struck with enough force. (Safety glass is designed to break into small pieces rather than sharp shards if it is broken.) Temperature changes can cause a minor crack or chip to become worse, possibly causing the glass to shatter. See the knowledge base article, Shattered glass on an interactive display, for information about conditions that can cause the display’s glass to shatter even when it’s not in use.

If the display’s glass is cracked or chipped, have it professionally inspected and repaired at a SMART authorized repair center. If the display’s glass shatters, carefully clean up the area and have the display repaired or replaced.

CAUTION

For safety and to prevent further damage, do not continue to install or use the display if its glass is cracked, chipped or shattered.

Saving the original packaging

Save the original packaging to repack the display with as much of the original packaging as possible in case you need to move the display after you initially install it. This packaging was designed to provide the best possible protection against shock and vibration.

CAUTION

Move the display only in the original packaging or replacement packaging purchased from your authorized SMART reseller. Moving the display without correct packaging can lead to product damage and voids the warranty.

NOTE

If the original packaging isn’t available, you can purchase the same packaging directly from your authorized SMART reseller (smarttech.com/where).

Installing the display on a wall

Typically, you install the display on a wall in a classroom or meeting space.

11 smarttech.com/kb/171288

Page 22

CHAPTER2

INSTALLING THE DISPLAY

Choosing a location

Adisplay is typically installed at the room’s focal point, such as at the front of a classroom or meeting space.

Selecting an appropriate location for the display is crucial for ensuring the best possible experience with the product. Consider the following factors as you choose a location:

Factor Considerations

Room setup

Power and other connections

The location allows users, including those in wheelchairs, access to the

display. Refer to local regulations regarding accessibility. The location allows for multiple users to access the display at the same

time. The location accommodates room traffic patterns, and there are no

tripping hazards. The display is not installed where it could be hit by a door or gate.

There are no nearby shelving units, desks or other furniture that has

doors or drawers that could hit the display. Furniture, wall décor and other room features, such as light switches and

thermostats, do not block the display and are not blocked by it. (You might be able to move some of these room features to accommodate the display.)

The location is close to

A power outlet

A network outlet (if you plan to use a wired network connection)

A room computer (if you plan to connect a room computer)

External audio systems and other devices that you want to connect to the display

12 smarttech.com/kb/171288

NOTES

If the location is not near a power outlet, consult an electrician for the power setup you need.

Determine if you’ll need additional equipment, such as power bars, additional cables, or cable extenders.

The location is not where the mains power supply enters the building.

Page 23

CHAPTER2

INSTALLING THE DISPLAY

Factor Considerations

Visibility The display’s screen is clearly visible to all users in the room. SMART

recommends users sit within a 178° viewing area:

NOTE

The viewing area depends on the display’s resolution and a variety of other factors. For more information, see the knowledge base article,

Recommended viewing distances and viewing angles for SMARTBoard interactive flat panels.

Lighting The location is not near bright light sources, such as windows or strong

overhead lighting. Risks of light Interference include:

Reduced visibility: Light sources can cause glare on the display’s screen, reducing its visibility.

Touch system interference: Many displays use infrared (IR) light as a key component of the touch system. Strong light that hits the display’s screen directly can cause interference with the touch system and prevent the display from working properly.

TIP

To reduce light interference, install blinds or shades on windows or skylights and install switches to dim or turn off any lights shining directly on the display’s screen. Keep in mind that sunlight can come through windows at different angles at different times of the year.

Acoustics The room has good acoustics (see Configuring your SMARTBoard MX

or MX100 for the best audio performance).

13 smarttech.com/kb/171288

Page 24

CHAPTER2

INSTALLING THE DISPLAY

Factor Considerations

Environment and ventilation

The location meets the environmental requirements in the display’s

specifications (see More information on page7). The display isn’t subjected to strong vibrations or dust.

Ventilation systems don’t blow air directly on the display.

There is adequate ventilation or air conditioning around the display so

that heat can flow away from it and the mounting equipment. SMARTrecommends at least 2" (5 cm) of space on all sides of the display for proper airflow.

If you plan to install the display in a recessed area, there is at least 4"

(10cm) of space between the display and the recessed walls to enable ventilation and cooling.

Choosing a height

Consider the general height of the user community when you choose the height for the display.

SMART recommends that you mount the display so that its top is 6'5" (1.9m) from the floor.

NOTE

If participants will be sitting at a steep angle (such as in a lecture hall), you may have to adjust the installation height or angle.

Assessing the wall

Be sure the wall you’re installing the display on can support the weight of the display and mounting equipment. If the wall can’t support the weight of the display and mounting equipment, consider using a SMART wall stand to transfer some of the weight from the wall to the floor (see

smarttech.com/accessories).

14 smarttech.com/kb/171288

Page 25

CHAPTER2

INSTALLING THE DISPLAY

NOTE

Refer to the display’s specifications for its weight (see More information on page7).

In some situations, you may need to request an engineering analysis to determine if the wall can support the display.

Selecting mounting hardware

The mounting hardware required for installation varies according to the type of wall onto which the display is being mounted.

Refer to Installation best practices for SMART products (smarttech.com/kb/171035) for the mounting hardware required for the display.

Selecting a wall mount

It is always best to mount the display on a wall. If the wall can’t support the display’s weight, you can use additional hardware to transfer some of the weight to the floor.

The display includes a pre-attached wall bracket which can be used to mount the display to the wall. See the SBID-MX165, MX175, MX186, MX265, MX275 and MX286, MX365, MX375, MX386 installation instructions (smarttech.com/kb/171274).

Contact your authorized SMART reseller (smarttech.com/where) for information on SMART’s mounting options.

If you choose a third-party option rather than one of SMART’s mounting options, be sure the wall mount can accommodate the display’s dimensions and support the display’s weight as well as the weight of any attached accessories.

Mounting the display

Mount the display following the included installation instructions. In addition, consider the following:

The electrical and mechanical components of adisplay are designed to work properly when the display is mounted in the orientation described in its installation instructions. Mounting the display in a different orientation can cause malfunctions and will void the display’s warranty.

INSTALLING THE DISPLAY

There are a number of potential hazards of mounting adisplay in a non-standard orientation or angle:

l Mounting adisplay horizontally (like a table top) can cause the glass to sag, damaging the

display or interfering with the display’s touch system.

l Non-standard orientation can affect ventilation, creating hotpots in equipment, premature

failures and, in displays that use projectors, exploding projector bulbs.

l Mount the display vertically (90° relative to the floor plus or minus 2° for tolerance) and in

landscape orientation. SMART doesn’t support mounting the display at other angles or in portrait orientation.

l Use the included wall mount. Optionally, use a VESA-approved mounting plate that is rated for

the display’s weight and size.

Configuring the serial interface settings 68 Communication structure 68 Power states 71 Commands 72

You can connect a control system or terminal emulation program on your computer to the display's room control input and remotely select video inputs, change power and sleep states, and get information about the display’s current settings, such as current input source, contrast and power state.

Connect an RS-232 cable from the control system or the computer’s serial port to the RS-232connector on the bottom of the display.

IMPORTANT

Use only a standard RS-232 cable. Do not use a null modem cable. Null modem cables typically have ends of the same type.

Page 78

APPENDIX B

REMOTELY MANAGING THE DISPLAY

Configuring the serial interface settings

Configure the control system or computer’s serial interface before sending commands to the display.

To configure the serial interface settings

1. Turn on the display.

2. Turn on the control system or computer, and access the serial data communications settings.

3. If using a terminal emulation program on a computer, activate local echo.

4. Configure the serial interface settings using the following values, and then press ENTER.

Baud rate 19200

Data length 8

Parity bit None

Stop bit 1

When a command prompt (>) is received by your control system or terminal emulation program, the display can accept commands. If the command prompt isn’t received, send a carriage return character (0x0d) to the display (press ENTER on your keyboard if you’re using a terminal emulation program on your computer).

NOTE

If no message or an error message is received in the control system or terminal emulation program, the serial interface isn’t configured correctly. Repeat steps 3 and 4.

Communication structure

Communication consist of a command argument, property affected, operator symbol, a value to apply, and a terminating carriage return character (0x0d).

IMPORTANT

When manually entering commands into a terminal emulation program, commands must be terminated with only a carriage return character (0x0d). If you terminate a command with both a carriage return character (0x0d) and a line feed (0x0a), the command may not be processed and the command prompt that indicates readiness to receive the next command may not be received.

APPENDIX B

REMOTELY MANAGING THE DISPLAY

NOTES

l The display won’t respond to RS-232 commands when it is in a low power state (soft off).

Disable Power saving mode to prevent the display from entering a low power state. See Power saving mode on page64.

l When you first turn on the display, the RS-232 connector operates in a special diagnostics

mode instead of control mode, and the display won’t respond to control commands. In addition, the connected control system or terminal emulation program might receive unexpected data characters.

Program a connected control system to ignore the unexpected data characters and only send commands after it receives the command prompt (>).

If you haven’t disabled Power saving mode, you’ll see the unexpected characters every time you turn on the display.

CORRECT

>set input=HDMI1

INCORRECT

>set HDMI1

To use the room control system to get information about the display or to adjust display settings, send commands after receiving a command prompt (>), and then wait for the display’s response before sending another command.

CORRECT

>get volume

volume=55

If you send a command that the room control system doesn’t recognize, you receive an invalid command response.

The example contains an extra space in the volume command.

INCORRECT

>set vol ume=65

invalid cmd=set vol ume=65

APPENDIX B

REMOTELY MANAGING THE DISPLAY

NOTES

l Use ASCII formatted commands.

l Commands aren’t case-sensitive.

l When manually entering commands into a terminal emulation program, review each entry

carefully before you press ENTER to send a carriage return (0x0d) to terminate the command.

l Don’t send another command until you receive the response and the next command

prompt.

To identify the current value of a setting

Use a get command.

This example shows how to get the display’s current volume setting:

>get volume

volume=55

To assign a value to a setting

Use a set command.

This example sets the volume to 65:

>set volume=65

volume=65

70 smarttech.com/kb/171288

APPENDIX B

REMOTELY MANAGING THE DISPLAY

To increase or decrease the value of a setting

Use the set command to increase or decrease the value by a designated number.

This example increases the volume by 5:

>set volume+5

volume=70

This example decreases the volume by 15:

>set volume-15

volume=55

Power states

The display has the following power states:

Power state Description

ON The display is in normal operating mode.

READY The screen is off, but the display is ready to turn on when:

A user presses the Power button on the front control panel.
