INSTALLATION

FLAMMABLE MATERIAL WARNING!
Keep drive a minimum of 5.0 feet (1.5m) away from flammable material and/or pyrotechnics.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
A qualified electrician should be used for all electrical connections and/or installations.

DO NOT INSTALL THE DEVICE IF YOU ARE NOT QUALIFIED TO DO SO!
The device MUST be installed following all local, national, and country commercial electrical and construction codes and regulations.

Before rigging or mounting a single fixture or multiple interconnected fixtures for custom matrix designs to any metal truss or structure or placing the fixture(s) on any surface, a professional equip­ment installer MUST be consulted to determine whether the metal truss, structure, or surface is properly certified to safely support the combined weight of the fixture(s), clamps, cables, and any other accessories.

Fixture(s) should be installed in areas outside walking paths, seating areas, or away from areas where unauthorized personnel might be able to reach the device by hand.

NEVER stand directly below the fixture(s) when rigging, removing, or servicing. Overhead fixture installation must always be secured with a secondary safety attachment, such as an appropriately rated safety cable (not included) that meets all local, national, and country codes and regulations. Allow approximately 15 minutes for the fixture to cool down before servicing.

SOCKET PIN CONFIGURATION
This device features two (2) output sockets on the backside, which may be used to connect the device to the desired lighting fixtures. The pins for each output socket are configured as shown in the image below. Please consult a qualified electrician for all electrical connections and/or installations.

CLAMP INSTALLATION
This fixture features a sliding, adjustable mounting bracket (some models feature multiple mounting brackets), as well as a safety cable attachment point on the main body of the fixture (see illustration below). When mounting this fixture in a suspended environment, be sure to secure an appropriately rated clamp (not included) to the mounting bracket, and attach a separate SAFETY CABLE (not included) to the safety cable attachment point.

SAFETY CABLE
Always attach a safety cable whenever installing this fixture in a suspended environment in order to ensure the fixture will not fall if the clamp fails!

RIGGING
Overhead rigging requires extensive experience, including but not limited to: calculating working load limits, understanding the installation material being used, and periodic safety inspection of all installation material and the fixture itself. If you lack the qualification, do not attempt the installation yourself. Improper installation can result in bodily injury.

MULTIPLE FIXTURES

Multiple fixtures may be daisy-chained together via the Power/Data In and Power/Data Out ports located on each fixture. The maximum number of fixtures that may be daisy-chained together and connected to a single driver output port is determined by a combination of the driver output limita­tions and the RGB pixel control configuration.

Please see the Driver Output Limitation section and the RGB Pixel Control sections of the manual for the ADJ Pixie Driver 2000 for details on these limitations and how to configure these settings to best accommodate your desired lighting setup.

The ADJ Pixie Driver 2000 that has been designed to work with these lighting fixtures has been pro­grammed not to allow Pixie Strip fixtures to be added in such a way that the driver port output limita­tions will be exceeded. This is done by limiting the number of Pixie Strip units that can be selected in the System Menu of the driver based on what has already been set up. Please see the Driver Output Limitations section of the Pixie Driver 2000 manual for more detailed information.

ALLOWABLE CABLE LENGTHS
16-AWG 4-pin extension cable may be used to link multiple devices. However, please take note of the maximum allowable cable lengths, as listed below.

• Max length of cable connecting a controller and a device: 59 feet (18m)
• Max length of cable connecting two devices: 32 feet (10m)
• Max total cable length in a single chain: 98 feet (30m) including the lengths of the lighting strip(s)
