**CLAMP MOUNTING

**

This fixture features a mounting point in the middle of the top side for the installation of a mounting clamp. Additionally, the unit also features a safety cable loop on side face, near the KlingNet/Artnet Port (see the illustration below). When mounting the fixture to a truss or any other suspended or overhead installation, be sure to secure an appropriately rated mounting clamp (not included) to the device. Attach a separate SAFETY CABLE of the appropriate weight rating to the provided safety cable loop. SAFETY CABLE:
ALWAYS ATTACH A SAFETY CABLE WHENEVER INSTALLING THIS FIX-TURE IN A SUSPENDED ENVIRONMENT TO ENSURE THAT THE FIXTURE WILL NOT FALL IF THE CLAMP FAILS.

RACK MOUNTING

This device can be mounted in a standard 19-inch rack using the mounting brackets located on each side of the device. Make sure to use mounting hardware that fits the mounting holes on the device as well as the rack itself. Use all four (4) points on the mounting brackets to ensure that the device is mounted securely. Please see the illustration below for reference.

MULTIPLE DRIVERS

Up to five (5) Pixie Driver 8000 devices may be daisy-chained directly together and linked to a single controller. See the image below for reference. Please note that the controller must be set to KlingNet, Art-net, or sACN control mode. Do NOT daisy-chain more than five (5) devices directly together.If more than five (5) devices are required, a one-gigabit ethernet switch may be used to expand the size of the network. However, even in this case, no more than ten (10) branches from the ethernet switch are allowable, with each branch containing up to five (5) daisy-chained devices. This permits a maximum of fifty (50) devices to be linked to a single controller, as shown in the image below.
Do NOT exceed this number of devices!

ALLOWABLE CABLE LENGTHS
16-AWG 4-pin extension cable may be used to link multiple devices. However, please take note of 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)

DRIVER OUTPUT LIMITATIONS

• There is a limitation to how many pixels can be controlled by each driver output port, which in turn determines the maximum number of lighting fixtures that can be controlled by a single output or driver.
• The values listed in the following tables for number of fixtures per driver port/driver unit are representative of the maximum number of fixtures that can be connected if the fixtures used are all of the same model type, with individual pixel control.
• For example, if you connect only Pixie Strip 30s to the driver, and operate the driver in Kling-Net mode, you can connect up to 34 units of that model type to each driver port. This is defined by the fact that each driver port can handle a maximum of 1020 pixels, and each Pixie Strip 30 fixture is made up of 30 pixels. Therefore, you have 1020 pixels per driver port, divided by 30 pixels per fixture, which equals 34 fixtures per driver port.
• It is possible to mix and match Pixie Strip model types that are attached to a single driver port. In this case, the important thing to keep in mind is the maximum number of pixels per driver port.
• As long as this value is not exceeded, any combination of Pixie Strip 30s, 60s, and 120s may be used.

• Your Pixie Driver 8000 is programmed not to allow Pixie Strip fixtures to be added in such a way that the maximum number of pixels per port would be exceeded. This is done by limiting the number of Pixie Strip units that can be selected in the System Menu based on what has already been set up on the unit.
• If we look at the example from the previous section, where 34 Pixie Strip 30s have been set up on a single port in Kling-Net mode, the System Menu will not allow any further fixtures to be set up on that port, regardless of model. This is because 34 fixtures, times 30 pixels per fixture, occupies 1020 pixels.
• If we then tried to set up a Pixie Strip 60, the System Menu would not allow any values other than “0” to be selected, because the port has no remaining free pixel capacity.
• If you are having trouble adding the desired number of fixtures to a driver port, double check the number of fixtures of other Pixie Strip models that have been set up to see if they are using up all of the available pixel space on that port.
  PIXELS IN USE| PIXELS FREE
  ---|---
  34 x Pixie Strip 30| 1020 pixels| 1020 pixel capacity
  1020 pixels in use
  0 pixels free
  0 x Pixie Strip 60| 0 pixels
  0 x Pixie Strip 120| 0 pixels
  | 1020 total pixels in use
• In this case, we would first need to “make room” on this driver port by reducing the number of Pixie Strip 30s that are set up. If we reduce the number of Pixie Strip 30s by two units, we then have a total free pixel capacity of 60 pixels on this port.
  PIXELS IN USE| PIXELS FREE
  ---|---
  32 x Pixie Strip 30| 960 pixels| 1020 pixel capacity
  960 pixels in use
  60 pixels free
  0 x Pixie Strip 60| 0 pixels
  0 x Pixie Strip 120| 0 pixels
  | 960 total pixels in use
• Now that we have freed up pixels on this driver port, we are able to add the Pixie Strip 60, as desired. The System Menu now allows you to increase the number of Pixie Strip 60s on this driver port to 1, but it will not allow you to increase the number any higher because there are not enough pixels free to add more than 1 Pixie Strip 60. Notice, too, that the only selectable value for Pixie Strip 120s is “0” due to the fact that 60 free pixels is not enough to run a single Pixie Strip 120.
  PIXELS IN USE| PIXELS FREE
  ---|---
  32 x Pixie Strip 30| 960 pixels| 1020 pixel capacity
  1020 pixels in use
  0 pixels free
  1 x Pixie Strip 60| 60 pixels
  0 x Pixie Strip 120| 0 pixels
  | 1020 total pixels in use
• If you are having trouble adding the desired number of fixtures to a driver port, double check the number of fixtures of other Pixie Strip models that have been set up to see if they are using up all of the available pixel space on that port.

RGB PIXEL CONTROL

This feature gives the user the ability to adjust the RGB Pixel Control configuration of the device. Individual pixels may be controlled independently for finer control over the resolution of the device’s lighting display. Alternately, multiple individual pixels may be grouped together under a common set of control channels in order to reduce the number of required control channels. This also reduces the effective pixel count for each fixture, thereby allowing an increased number of fixtures to be operated off of the same driver port (see the Driver Output Limitations section). The downside to this is the reduced resolution of the lighting display.
For example, if the user is setting up a Pixie Strip 30 containing thirty (30) individual pixels, the finest level of control would be 1×30, which signifies 30 groups of 1 pixel each. In a 1×30 pixel control configuration, each of the 30 pixels is controlled independently, giving the lighting display a fine degree of resolution.
However, each individual pixel requires 3 control channels (Red, Green, and Blue), and therefore 90 control channels are required to operate the device in this configuration, in addition to the need for the driver port to have free capacity to control at least 30 pixels.
If using fewer control channels or less driver port pixel capacity is desired, the user may opt for a different pixel control configuration, such as 2×15. This configuration separates the lighting display into 15 groups, each containing 2 individual pixels, with each group being controlled by a single set of control channels. Thus, the requirement for number of control channels is reduced to 45 (15 groups each requiring 3 control channels for Red, Green, and Blue). Moreover, each group of 2 pixels can now be treated effectively as a single large pixel, reducing the required driver port free pixel capacity to just 15 pixels. This is particularly useful when operating in Art-Net or sACN mode, where each driver port can accommodate a relatively limited number of pixels.

MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES

DISCONNECT POWER BEFORE PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE!
MAINTENANCE
Regular inspections are recommended to ensure proper function and extended life. There are no user serviceable parts inside this device. Please refer all other service issues to an authorized ADJ service technician. Should you need any spare parts, please order genuine parts from your local ADJ dealer.
Please refer to the following points during routine inspections:

• A detailed electrical check by an approved electrical engineer every three months, to make sure the circuit contacts are in good condition and prevent overheating.
• Be sure all screws and fasteners are securely tightened at all times. Loose screws may fall out during normal operation, resulting in damage or injury as larger parts could fall.
• Check for any deformations on the housing, rigging hardware, and rigging points (ceiling, suspen-sion, trussing). Deformations in the housing could allow for dust to enter into the fixture. Damaged rigging points or unsecured rigging could cause the fixture to fall and seriously injure a person(s).
• Electric power supply cables must not show any damage, material fatigue, or sediments.

NEVER remove the ground prong from the power cable.
SOFTWARE UPDATES
For software updates, please contact ADJ service to obtain a software uploader and detailed instruc-tions. Refer to the Introduction section of this manual for contact information.
