1.1 DESCRIPTION LEDSOFT series of flexible LED screens is composed of a set of models having pitch value between 18mm and 100mm, allowing advanced creative possibilities combined with simplified use and quick setup op- erations. LEDSOFT screens are conceived for projection of videos, images, backgrounds and texts, different models are available with regards to viewing distance. Reduced mounting time and minimal required structures are further advantages made possible by limited weight and volume. All models are equipped with RGB 3-in-1 SMD LED sources, allowing an amazing light output (up to 3240 NIT for LEDSOFT18 featuring 18mm pitch value). The modular concept and the simplified connection between modules enable build-up of large displays in outdoor locations implying long viewing distances.

• Disconnect all displays from mains power. • Remove the rear protection cover. • Check if all connectors are fastened in the area where the LEDs are not working. Then reconnect the displays to mains power for testing. • If the problem still persists use a multimeter to test whether the AC and DC output voltage is steady. If there is not output voltage or unsteady voltage replace the power adaptor: Plug out the connectors at both ends of the power adaptor and remove the broken the broken power adaptor from its pocket. Insert a now power adaptor and fasten the connectors with their locknuts. • Make sure that the new power adaptor is correctly connected and reconnect the displays to mains power for testing. Reattach the protective cover. Power adapter pocket Cut out connector

Faulty pixel column wire row wire 3 1 2 To data processor Data processor Fig.15 In case one of the following situations occurs check and replace the LEDs if necessary: 1. Replace the LED if a single pixel does not work or displays irregular colors. For this purpose, remove the rear protection cover with a screw driver, take out the PCB with the LED and replace the broken LED with a new one and solder it. Reattach the protection cover. 2. If one vertical LED column does not work properly (point 1 in the figure): Remove the rear protection cover with a screw driver, take out the PCB with the LED and check the wiring. If one of the wires is loose solder it on the PCB and reattach the protection cover. 3. If two vertical LED columns do not work properly (point 2 in the figure): Remove the rear protection cover with a screw driver, take out the PCB with the LED and check the wiring. If none of the wires is loose or if there is no short circuit, open the box marked [Data Processor Box] and check if the counter- part connector on the PCB is properly connected. 4. If a horizontal LED row does not work properly (point 3 in the figure): Remove the rear protection cover with a screw driver, take out the PCB with the LED and check the wiring. If one of the wires is loose, solder it on the PCB and reattach the protection cover.
