Considerations

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.

Special Requirements for
the XP-103DHD

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.

High-Altitude Operation

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 all PlasmaWall models to operate reliably at altitudes of up to 9,000 feet
MSL (mean sea level).

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 9,000 feet, please contact Runco technical support for further
information.

Mounting the PlasmaWall
on a Wall or Table
Stand/Floor Pedestal

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
pedestal that is specifically designed for your display. Refer to
Parts List on page 4
for ordering information.
