Stand/Floor Pedestal

Proper installation of your PlasmaWall will ensure the highest possible picture quality. Whether you are installing the PlasmaWall temporarily or permanently, you should take the following into account to ensure that it performs optimally.

➤The extremely large size and high power consumption of the XP-103DHD place unique demands upon both the installation personnel and the installation site, over and above those of the 50-inch and 65-inch PlasmaWall models.

Installing the XP-103DHD requires the following:

•Several people familiar with complex mechanical installations.

•Specialized equipment.

•A dedicated 220VAC circuit.

•A “carry-in” path with sufficient clearances.

•An installation location that can support the weight of both the plasma panel and mounting hardware (floor pedestal or wall mount).

These and other installation requirements are detailed in a document called Runco XP-103DHD Installation Site Pre-Qualification,available from your Runco dealer or representative, or from www.Runco.com. Before proceeding with an XP-103DHD installation, obtain, read and make sure you understand everything in this document.

➤Due to the design of all plasma glass panels made by every manufacturer, and the interaction between ambient air pressure and the plasma gases contained inside of the panel, reliable operation of your plasma display cannot be assured during operation at certain high-altitude locations.

Runco has found the XP-50DHD, XP-65DHD and XP-103DHD to operate reliably at altitudes of up to 6,000 feet MSL (mean sea level).

The XP-50DHDxa and XP-65DHDxa have been found to operate reliably at altitudes of up to 9,100 feet MSL.

At higher elevations, each panel may react differently, depending upon the altitude, air pressure, humidity and other meteorological factors. If you are planning to use this product at a location above 9000 feet, please contact Runco technical support for further information.

➤To install the PlasmaWall, you will need either an optional table stand, floor pedestal or wall-mounting kit. (The XP-103DHD must be either wall-mounted or attached to a floor pedestal.)

If you do decide to wall-mount the PlasmaWall, ensure that the wall-mount bracket is installed according to the instructions included with it. The wall must be capable of supporting a redundant weight factor five (5) times the weight of the display, or be reinforced.

Runco recommends that this be done by a custom installation specialist.

Use only a Runco-approved wall-mount kit, table stand or floor

Note pedestal that is specifically designed for your display. Refer to
