CIRRUS OUTDOOR DISPLAY SYSTEM INSTALLATION MANUAL | 9 V04 2022This document is confidential & proprietary to Cirrus Systems for distribution to direct customers and their installers only. Environmental considerations Shipping & Receiving, product storage The Cirrus Outdoor LED panels are fully encapsulated and water-proof. The Controller is housed in a water-proofed aluminum enclosure. The Cirrus Outdoor LED panels are rated for an ambient operating temperature range of -40~+70° Celsius (-40 ~ +158° Fahrenheit) and are designed to withstand continuous direct sunlight. If the panels experience an over-temperature condition, a signal will be sent to the controller to shut down the sign. Once the sign has cooled, it will automatically restart. The Controller is rated for an ambient operating temperature range of -10~+60°C (14~ +140°F) and should be protected from direct sunlight. Operation at colder temperatures is routinely and regularly accomplished, though starting the screen from a powered off state at temperatures below 14°F may not be possible. A controller which is in a powered on state produces ambient heat which can allow it to continuously run at temperatures as low as -30°F (-34°C). All components and connections are sealed and water-tight for protection from the ingress of dust and water, though no components should be subjected to immersion in water. All deliveries shall be FOB Cirrus Systems (Seller), Portsmouth, NH. Methods and routes of shipment, unless Seller specifies in writing otherwise, shall be accepted as chosen by Seller at Seller’s sole discretion. Purchaser shall pay all costs of shipment. Delivery to the carrier shall constitute delivery and passage of title to Purchaser, and risk of loss shall pass to Purchaser concurrently with passage of title. Seller will use reasonable diligence to meet scheduled shipment dates and times. Such dates and times are the best possible estimates, and not guarantees, of when goods will be shipped. In no event shall Seller be liable for any losses or damages of any kind due to delays in shipment, nor may Purchaser cancel its contract because of any such delay. It is the responsibility of the Purchaser to check the Product for visible damage prior to accepting delivery from the carrier. Any damage to the Product must be noted on the delivery slip with the carrier and immediately reported to Cirrus. Photographic evidence of damages will be required. Cirrus may assist in seeking remedy with the carrier for damaged goods but does not retain title and therefore is not legally responsible for said damages. Delivered product should be stored in a cool dry place, out of the way of foot/motorized traffic. It is the installer’s responsibility to look over the product before installing to ensure there are no missing parts and there is no visible damage to any parts of the display. If there is any damage, Cirrus must be informed prior to install.

Mounting brackets should be attached for the entire horizontal length of the frames to prevent bowing or lateral stress. Supports required here Cirrus LED signs should never be transported with the panels already in place - any damage that is incurred due to transport will not be covered under warranty. This includes damage to edge diodes, damage from strapping or lifting signs into place for mounting/ installation purposes. One row of support mounting brackets(not supplied) must be attached for every four rows of frames. Do not exceed four rows of frames without attaching an additional mounting bracket. Frame mounting CIRRUS OUTDOOR DISPLAY SYSTEM INSTALLATION MANUAL | 20 V04 2022This document is confidential & proprietary to Cirrus Systems for distribution to direct customers and their installers only. Cirrus LED panels are passively cooled, so ventilation is required to keep the display within normal operating temperatures (-40 ~+70 C or -40 ~+158 F ambient temperature). Allowing natural convection by venting the top and bottom of the display is required. Damage from overheating is not covered under warranty. PLEASE NOTE: The following guidelines are our standards, but may not be adequate in all locations or installations. Additional ventilation or changes may be required based on site conditions. Allow minimum of 2” gap per face behind the sign for air flow. • DO NOT RESTRICT AIRFLOW around the backs of the panels. • When using mesh, louvers or other covering: Use actual open area of the louver, not the cutout size, for calculation.* Total air intake (bottom of sign) = 12-18 square inches per foot of sign Total air exhaust (top of sign) = 12-18 square inches per foot of sign • Never mount an ID sign or sign cover without satisfying the guidelines illustrated above. These ventilation requirements apply for signs of all types and all sizes. • DO NOT OBSTRUCT AIR INTAKE in the bottom front of the sign. • Do not cover the front of the sign with glass or polycarbonate, or obstruct air flow in any way. • Allow 1⁄4” clearance below sign for water drainage. * Smaller openings in mesh/louvers will require a larger section to achieve the same ventilation. 2” MIN. around LED sign 4” MIN. when recessed Monument or integrated 2” MIN. of space on top and bottom of the display are required for warranty.

Always turn off the breaker prior to unplugging or connecting cables, panels, controllers, or power boosters. All electrical breakers should be no more than 20 amps. The circuit should ONLY be connected to Cirrus equipment and can not be shared with any other equipment (other LED drivers, cabinet lighting, etc). It should also not have any sort of timer on them. Ground Fault Indicator (GFI) breakers should never be used. The Cirrus outdoor display system is designed to be powered by 120 to 240-volt single-phase service, without any additional configuration or equipment. The exact electrical requirements will be determined by the number of panels. Cirrus is unable to provide, consult, or advise on the electrical setup for the display. All electrical work must be done by a licensed electrician in accordance with local laws and regulations. IMPORTANT - Improper electrical setup, unstable or inconsistent power, “dirty power”, harmonic feedback and other abnormal electrical conditions may damage or destroy display hardware and are not the responsibility of Cirrus, nor will part repair or replacement due to such damage be covered under the Cirrus warranty. The use of a generator to power a display is NOT RECOMMENDED, and may result in damage to the display, which would not be covered under warranty. With the introduction of the Controller, there is now a built-in power detection system. If power issues are detected (such as insufficient power for the number of panels), the panels will be shut off automatically as a safety measure. A rapidly flashing red light on the Controller will indicate a power issue. Cirrus Tech Support should be contacted before restoring power to the panels. Electrical damage MAY have already occurred and does not change the warranty coverage. Electrical details Note: Displays must be properly grounded (at the breaker or at the display). Electrical damage is not covered under our warranty (refer to the warranty section for details). A sign bonded to an earth ground has a means of dissipating the high voltage and current from a lightning strike. The resistance of the grounding electrode must be as low as possible. However, damage can still occur to a sign’s electronic equipment from lightning voltage transients. The earth ground must comply with NEC Article 250. Though some surge protection is incorporated into a sign, to protect a sign from high-voltage lightning transients, surge protectors can be installed in accordance with NEC Articles 280 and 285 and local codes. The Cirrus warranty cannot cover damaged caused by lightning transients. Power cable CIRRUS OUTDOOR DISPLAY SYSTEM INSTALLATION MANUAL | 23 V04 2022This document is confidential & proprietary to Cirrus Systems for distribution to direct customers and their installers only. Power injectors are used in cases where a sign requires more than a single line of power. Cirrus will advise on where to place power injectors as part of the pre-install process.

The included extension cables can be used to enable mounting the controller further away from the first panel in the chain. When using an extension, a 2’ panel cable must be used to connect to a panel. The Controller is recommended to be mounted inside the sign, to prevent unwanted access. It can be placed outside, but should not be mounted in direct sunlight. The Controller should be mounted with the side with no ports facing up, so no water can pool in them. Pooling water may eventually cause damage to the interior components. The controller can be mounted horizontally as well. Ports Down - OK Ports Left, Right or Up - NOT OK Note: Do not use two extension cables connected together, it may result in data loss and display issues. *For Outdoor displays we include a 10ft controller to panel cable.

An active network connection is required to use your Cirrus display. The display can be connected one of three ways: Cellular broadband is optional on all Cirrus displays. Cellular coverage can vary from location to location, so may not always be the best solution. Your sales rep can give you more information. Both the WiFi kit and the cellular broadband will require the installation of the all-in-one antenna. The included WiFi kit (pictured below) is preconfigured and is intended to be plugged into the location’s network to broadcast a “CirrusLED” WiFi network, which our controllers connect to automatically. Installation instructions are on page 32. Note: The maximum distance between the wifi kit and the sign is roughly 300’ and maybe less depending on the line of sight. A second wifi kit can be added to make a paired set which more than doubles that distance. Contact your Cirrus Support for details and cost. A direct Ethernet connection can be plugged into the Ethernet port (labeled LAN) of the Controller pictured below. Note: The maximum run on Ethernet is 300 ft, any distance greater than that can be run with fiber optic cable, but will need to converted back to Ethernet before connecting to the controller.

The WAP is designed to be hung outside, with the flat front (has the logo printed on it) facing towards the sign. Line of sight is important to prevent signal loss, so putting it inside, pointing in a different direction, or through a screen of trees can all prevent good communication. The PoE should be connected to a 120v outlet no more than 30’ from the WAP. An Ethernet cable connects the PoE to the WAP, with one end plugged into the Ethernet port on the rear of the WAP, and the other on the PoE port of the PoE unit (see below). The other port on the PoE labeled LAN should be connected via Ethernet directly into the customer’s existing network switch, router, or gateway. This cable length can be up to 300’. Ethernet connection from PoE Connects to rear of WAP Connects to customer network Note: The WAP will NOT work if it is connected to a computer or laptop. If you have questions, please contact Cirrus Support. Note: Pushing the reset button on the WAP erases all pre-configured settings, so it should never be done unless directed to by a member of Cirrus Tech Support.
