System Planning and Specification
within this guide and other relevant ENTTEC documentation. If you are in any
doubt about system safety, or you plan to install ENTTEC’s Smart PXL Dots in a
configuration that is not covered within this guide, contact ENTTEC or your
ENTTEC supplier for assistance. ENTTEC’s Return to Base warranty for this
product does not cover damage caused by inappropriate use or application or
modification to the product.
The first step of planning an installation is to determine the pixel pitch and
total quantity of Smart PXL Dots required. Use the product datasheet to
determine the light output and pixel pitch your installation requires before
beginning your system design
Key Safety & Functional Limits
Given the versatility and flexibility of the Smart PXL Dot system, it is
imperative that the system layout stays within the limits defined within this
document. If two or more different limits apply to a configuration, you must
always follow the lowest.
The system design and installation must respect the key safety and functional
limits defined within this guide.
These limits are:
- Power Draw
- Voltage Drop
- Current throughput limit per string (10A max)
- Control channel availability
Voltage Drop
The longer the cable distance from the power source to each dot the more
voltage is dropped. Significant voltage drop can result in lower brightness
and in more extreme cases colour shift. This is an important consideration for
Smart PXL installations with custom pixel pitch and can inform the quantity of
dots per string between power injections.
If cable length can be reduced across your installation, this is recommended.
If you are concerned about voltage drop and the impact on your installation,
contact ENTTEC team or your reseller.
Maximum Smart PXL-60 Dot Chain Length
Maximum chain length is determined by voltage drop, power consumption and
control channel availability.
Please contact ENTTEC team or reseller for maximum dot chain length fitting
your requirement. By using ENTTEC’s Smart PXL Power Injector accessory to
inject power from additional PSU’s, the impact of voltage drop and power
consumption can be removed, leaving control channel availability as the only
limiting factor.
By using ENTTEC’s Smart PXL Power Injector 24v accessory (SKU: 73019) to inject power from additional PSU’s, the impact of voltage drop and power consumption can be removed leaving control channel availability as the only limiting fac

Connection to a DC PSU
In a Smart PXL installation, one or more DC external PSUs (Power Supply Units)
are required to provide power to each chain of Smart PXL Dots if your control
method does not contain an integrated PSU.
Your power supply should be located as close as physically possible to the
beginning of the chain of Smart PXL Dots to minimize the effect of voltage
drop.
For optimum performance and to reduce the impact of voltage drop, ENTTEC
recommend the use of multiple smaller DC power supplies at the beginning of
each run of Smart PXL Dots, instead of a low quantity of high-capacity power
supplies with longer connection cables.
ENTTEC recommend IP67 rated or higher power supplies where applicable with
your installation requirement. The maximum number of Dots that you can safely
connect to a PSU is dependent on the selected PSU’s power rating. The total
power consumption of a single chain of Smart PXL Dots must not exceed the
PSU’s maximum power rating OR the 10A current throughput limit of each Smart
PXL Dot. To determine the total power consumption of a chain of ENTTEC Smart
PXL Dots, add together the power consumption for all individual Dots by
referring to datasheet – electrical information.
ENTTEC’s offers various control system options to drive Smart PXL Dots each
designed for different use case scenarios.
Information for each control system type and appropriate wiring methods can be
found within the Control Methods section of this guide. Ensure all cabling and
control systems have been housed in accordance with the specifications defined
within each products datasheet and in line with local electrical regulation.
Data Cable Length & Direction
Smart PXL Dots are controlled using ENTTEC’s proprietary S-PXL 8/16 protocol.
This protocol sequentially addresses each Smart PXL Dot automatically. This
reduces commissioning time by eliminating the need for individual addressing.
Each Smart PXL Dot contains its own data buffering and data, re-shaping
circuit. The maximum permissible distances distance between devices is as
follows:
Max. distance between S-PXL 8/16 data source 3000mm
Max. distance between Smart PXL string interconnects 3000mm
S-PXL data flow through each dot in one direction only. This direction is
indicated by the direction of the arrow printed on surface of the dot (center
of PCB). In the event surface of PCB is inaccessible, data direction always
flows as illustrated with respect to ENTTEC logo on bottom of housing.
- For best practice keep all cable run lengths to a minimum to avoid electrical noise.
- Avoid running data cabling close to mains power or devices that emit electromagnetic noise (i.e. air conditioning units).
- If data direction instructions are not followed, Smart PXL Dots will not operate.
Control Channels
Each RGB Smart PXL Dot consumes the equivalent of 6 DMX channels of data.
Each RGBW Smart PXL Dot consumes the equivalent of 8 DMX channels of data.
The hard upper limit to the number of dots you can run from one data feed can
be calculated by dividing the maximum number of data channels per output of
the ENTTEC pixel controller by the DMX channel footprint of the Smart PXL Dot.
Each Smart PXL Dot uses 6 or 8 output channels from your controller
respectively, whether running in an 8-Bit, 16- Bit or grouped configuration
all Smart PXL Dots in a chain will sequentially address one after another.
| 16-Bit Smart PXL-60 Dot RGB DMX Channel Footprint
---|---
Channel Order| 1| 2| 3| 4| 5| 6
Attribute| Red| Red Fine| Green| Green Fine| Blue| Blue Fine
The quantity of Smart PXL Dots addressable per ENTTEC controller is as follows:

Always consider all limiting factors before finalizing your system
design.
Smart PXL Dot Control Options
ENTTEC’s offers various products to control Smart PXL Dots, each designed for
different use case scenarios.
Key specification information and application diagrams for each system can be
found within the following section.
Controlling Smart PXL Dots with ENTTEC OCTO’s
The OCTO is a 4 DIN module wide device capable of converting a combined total of 8 universes of pixel data from ArtNet, sACN or KiNet (4 universes per output) with a wide operating voltage between 4-60V DC. It contains an inbuilt network switch for simple device chaining, allowing up to 100m between each device. The OCTO’s inbuilt web interface allows configuration alongside basic standalone effects generation for times your installation doesn’t require control from a centralised playback device.

OCTO System Application Diagram
Key OCTO Installation Guidelines:
- Ensure all safety guidelines within this installation guide and other product documentation are factored into the design.
- Locate the OCTO and PSU as close as possible to the first Smart PXL Dot in the chain to reduce the impact of voltage drop.
- To reduce the likelihood of voltage being induced on the control signal lines, where possible, run control cabling away from mains electricity or devices that produce high EMF, (i.e. air conditioning units).
- ENTTEC recommends the use of cable ferrules for all stranded cables connected to the OCTO’s screw terminals to ensure a reliable connection.
Note: If the power or data source to your controller drops out whilst the Smart PXL Dots remain powered, the last state will be held until either the data feed resumes or power to the Smart PXL Dots is disconnected and re- connected.
Controlling Smart PXL Dots with ENTTEC’s Pixelator System
ENTTEC’s Pixelator system has been designed with reliability and flexibility at its heart. The system comprises of two key elements. The Pixelator device used to perform protocol conversion, and PLink injectors used locally to convert the data from the Pixelator close to the beginning of each chain of dots.
Pixelator Devices
Each Pixelator device is configurable via web interface over a local network
and converts DMX over ethernet (Art-Net, sACN or ESP) to ENTTEC’s proprietary
PLink protocol designed to send control data over long distances. Each Plink
output can send 2 universes of data up to 300m over CAT6 cable to ENTTEC’s
PLink injector modules.
ENTTEC Controller| SKU| Form Factor| Dimming Control
Resolution| Outputs per Device| Total DMX Channels Per Output
---|---|---|---|---|---
Pixelator| 70060| 19” Rack 1RU (IP-20)| 8-Bit / 16-Bit| 24| 1024 (2U)
Pixelator Mini| 70066| 9.5” Rack 1RU (IP-20)| 8-Bit / 16-Bit| 8| 1024 (2U)
DIN Pixelator Mini PX1-8D| 71066| 8 Module DIN (IP-20)| 8-Bit / 16-Bit| 8|
1024 (2U)
Do not mix controller types within a P-Link System. Different Pixelator models use different processing power appropriate to the hardware design. If your installation requires multiple Pixelators, standardize on one variant to eliminate the risk of content tearing
PLink Injection Modules
ENTTEC’s compact PLink power injection modules are available in both indoor
and outdoor variants. These surface mount modules convert PLink signal from
the Pixelator to the S-PXL8 / S-PXL16 protocols without configuration. The two
variants compatible with Smart PXL Dots are as follows:
ENTTEC Injection Module| SKU| IP Rating| Data Outputs per
Device
---|---|---|---
Plink Injector (12-24v)| 73544| IP-20| 1
IP66 Plink Injector (custom / made to order item – contact the ENTTEC sales
team )| 73924| IP-66| 1

be restrained with cable clips suited to the surface you are mounting your
Smart PXL installation to every 0.5m.
Accessories should be used in-line with the system design considerations of
your selected controller and adhere to the system cable length limitations.
Ordering information can be found at the end of this document.
Catenary mounting
ENTTEC recommends UV-resistant, outdoor-use rated cable ties for 2 wire
catenary support of the Smart PXL dots via the mounting holes to eliminate any
rotational stress. Do not position cable ties directly over any cable overmild
or heats rink covered connections. Positioning cable ties over these
components will prevent them from acting as strain relief for the system and
may void the warranty.
If the pitch cable is sagging and needs to be restrained for aesthetic
purposes, a cable tie can be used, but should be positioned as far away from
the over mould or heat shrink parts as possible. Do not tighten the cable tie
tight to the catenary cable as this will prevent the system from flexing and
dampening strain on the cable. It can also cause the cable to rub against the
catenary wire and wear away the insulation.
- Only drill holes or tighten screws into a surface that do not have cabling, pipework or other services directly behind.
- Never energize a Smart PXL Dot system until installation is complete and it is safe to do so.
- Ensure the surface you are attaching Smart PXL Dots and accessories can support the weight of all items you attach.
- When mounting Smart PXL Dots and accessories, ensure the mounting method is suitably rated to support the weight of the full Smart PXL Dot string.
- Never drill a hole or tighten screws into a surface using a Smart PXL Dot or accessory as a guide. This can result in damage and compromise the strength of the product.
- If installing Smart PXL Dots outdoors, only use corrosion proof galvanized, or stainless-steel fixings rated for the installation conditions.
- Never allow a string of dots to hang from a structure during installation, this can result in strain to cabling and damage to the Smart PXL Dots.
Marking the surface
Hold a Smart PXL-60 Dot or your Cable termination end cap up to the surface
and accurately mark the hole positioning with a pencil, ensuring that the
spacing between each dot and accessory will not exert any strain on the Smart
PXL Dot cable.
Protect the Smart PXL Dot’s from debris or swarf whilst drilling pilot holes.
Note: When installing, DO NOT connect the Smart PXL Dot cabling until the
screw has been fully tightened to protect it from any un-necessary strain.
Screws
If securing Smart PXL Dots or accessories using machine or self tapping
screws.
Drill a pilot hole or partially wind a self-tapping screw on the pencil mark
as defined in the previous section before positioning the Smart PXL Dot.
Position each Smart PXL Dot in-line with the entry points, then insert and
fully tighten the screws. DO NOT exert any tension on the cabling whilst
tightening.
Bolts
If securing Smart Pixel Dots using bolts, ensure a locking nut is used that
cannot become undone due to vibration.
DO NOT exert any tension on the cabling whilst tightening. ENTTEC
recommend the use of washers.
Servicing, Inspection & Maintenance
- Servicing, inspection & maintenance should only be carried out by qualified technicians familiar with all safety information within this document and the Smart PXL Dot system.
- Smart PXL Dots and accessories have no user serviceable parts. If your installation has become damaged, parts should be replaced.
- Power down the entire system and ensure a method is in place to stop the system from becoming energized during Servicing, Inspection & Maintenance.
Key areas to examine during inspection:
- Ensure all connectors are mated securely and show no sign of damage.
- Ensure all connectors show no sign of corrosion.
- Ensure all cabling has not obtained physical damage or been crushed.
- Ensure all Smart PXL Dots and accessories are secured to the surface and have been installed in accordance with the guidelines set out within the installation guide.

– Dirt or dust buildup can limit the ability for the Smart PXL Dot system to dissipate heat and can lead to damage.
If deemed necessary for a Smart PXL Dot string or accessory to be replaced, it
should be removed in a reverse order to installation as defined in this guide.
The replacement string or accessory should be an appropriate size and be
installed in accordance with all steps within the installation guide.
To order replacement parts contact your reseller or ENTTEC directly.
Cleaning
Dust and dirt build up can limit the ability for the Smart PXL Dot system to
dissipate heat resulting in damage. It’s important that the Smart PXL Dot
system is cleaned in a schedule fit for the environment it is installed within
to ensure maximum product longevity.
Cleaning schedules will vary greatly depending on the operating environment of
your Smart PXL Dots. Generally, the more extreme the environment, the shorter
the interval between cleanings.
- Before cleaning, power down the system and ensure a method is in place to stop the system from becoming energized until cleaning is complete.
- Do not use abrasive, corrosive or solvent-based cleaning products on a Smart PXL Dot system.
- Do not spray Smart PXL Dots or accessories with a high-pressure water jet.
To clean an ENTTEC Smart PXL system, use low-pressure compressed air to remove
dust, dirt and loose particles. If deemed necessary, wipe the Smart PXL Dots
with a damp microfiber cloth.
A selection of environmental factors that may increase demand for frequent
cleaning include:
o Use of stage fog, smoke or atmospheric devices.
o High airflow rates (i.e. in close proximity to air conditioning vents).
o High pollution levels or cigarette smoke.
o Airborne dust (from building work, the natural environment or pyrotechnic
effects).
If any of these factors are present, inspect all elements of the system soon
after installation to see whether cleaning is necessary, then check again at
frequent intervals. This procedure will allow you to determine a reliable
cleaning schedule for your installation.
