Installing the IR extender cable (on page 13)
Installing the IR extender cable
For remote control commands to be received by the display panel, the display
panel must have the IR extender cable installed.
- On the rear of the panel, plug the IR extender cable into the display panel.
- Position the IR receiver so it is visible from the front of the display panel.
Installing an OPS module
To provide a network distributed processor for managing content on the display
panel, install an OPS module.
The Secure Series display panels only support OPS modules with a power draw of
40 watts or less.
- On the rear of the display panel, remove the screw securing the OPS slot cover and remove the cover.
- Insert the OPS module into the slot, ensuring the module is fully seated.
- Replace and secure the OPS slot cover.

Mounting a display panel
Use only the approved wall-mount kit designed for your display panel.
Caution! If not avoided, the following could result in minor or moderate injury.
- TIP HAZARD! Center align the product on the stand or mount.
If you decide to wall-mount a display panel, ensure that the wall-mount
bracket is installed according to the instructions that are included with it.
The wall must be capable of supporting three times the weight of the display
panel, or be reinforced.
To ensure the mounting brackets clear any protrusions on the rear of the
panel, Christie recommends using spacers with a minimum height of 6.35 mm (.25
in).
Mounting brackets may block access to the connector ports. To ensure the
preferred mount allows access to the connectors, refer to the display panel
line drawings on www.christiedigital.com for measurements.
At the location where the space between tiles is the tightest, use the spacer
tool to ensure there is a minimum of 0.5mm, or the thickness of a credit card,
between adjacent LCD display panels.

Understanding the LED status indicators
Identify the LED state flashing pattern and meaning.
LED Status | Status of the monitor |
---|---|
Power | LED |
Power | LED |
Power LED flashing (slow) | Scheduler active |
Power LED flashing (fast) | Power up/down and software update |
Disruption during playback or slow reactions

Resolution
- Ensure the display panels are at least three meters away from microwave ovens, mobile telephones, Bluetooth-enabled devices, or any other Wi-Fi compatible devices.
- Change the active channel on the WLAN router.
Internet connection not available
The display panel cannot connect to the internet.
Resolution
- Ensure the display panel connection is allowed through the network firewall.
- The MAC address of the display panel is authenticated each time when connecting to the internet. If the MAC address of the computer or modem is permanently registered, it is possible that the display panel might not connect to the internet. Because the display panel has its own MAC address, the internet service provider cannot validate the MAC address of the display panel. For this reason, the display panel cannot connect to the internet.
Contact the internet service provider and request information on how to connect a different device, such as the display panel, to the internet.
Invalid domain
An invalid domain error is displayed when trying to share media.
Resolution
Prior to sharing any files in the media server program on the computer, ensure
that an authorized username and password is used for logging in, and that the
domain is active. If the domain is invalid, this might cause problems while
browsing files in Audio Video Sharing mode.
Remote control does not work
Using the remote control has no impact on the display panel.
Resolution
For remote control commands to be received by the display panel, the IR
extender cable must be installed.
In certain conditions, direct light may impact the ability for the IR receiver
to identify commands from the remote control.
