System Planning and Specification
Before planning or installing your system, ensure you are familiarized with all key information 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-100×25 Dot Chain Length
Maximum chain length is determined by voltage drop, power consumption (10A max throughput) 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 voltagedrop and power consumption can be removed, leaving control channel availability as the only limiting factor.

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 Max. distance between Smart PXL string interconnects

3000mm 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.

Data Direction

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, 16Bit or grouped configuration all Smart PXL Dots in a chain will sequentially address one after another.

Catenary mounting
ENTTEC recommends UV-resistant, outdoor-use rated cable ties for 2 wire catenary support of the SmartPXL dots via the mounting holes to eliminate any rotational stress. Do not place cable tie directly to cable leading in/out of SmartPXL dot. Positioning cable ties over cable close to dot body will prevent cable 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 dot or heatshrink 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-100×25 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.

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.
