Installation
CAUTION!
These servicing instructions are for use by qualified service personnel only.
To reduce the risk of electric shock do not perform any servicing other than
that contained in the operating instructions unless you are qualified to do
so.
4.1. Connection to the mains:
The ArcPixel Power-US is equipped with auto-switching power supply that
automatically adjusts to any 50-60Hz AC power source from 100-240 Volts. The
fixture must be grounded. Connect the fixture to the mains with enclosed power
cord.
This device falls under protection class I. Therefore the ArcPixel Power-US
has to be connected to a mains socket outlet with a protective earthing
connection.
4.2. Mounting the ArcPixel Power-US
The ArcPixel Power-US should be be placed on a non-flammable flat surface in
any orientation and fixed by the four screws.There are four mounting holes of
a dimension of 5×7 mm in housing of the driver. Ensure that installation place
is enough ventilated.
- Screws
- flat surface
- mounting holes
4.3. Connecting ArcPixes-US
Connect ArcPixes to the LED outputs of the ArcPixel Power-US (max. 65 ArcPixes per output). The first ArcPix in the ArcPix chain can be connected to the screw terminal board on the ArcPixel Power-US either via connection box or via customized cable length (has to be specified at order). Maximum length between the ArcPixel Power-US and the last ArcPix must not exceed 100 metres. Max. number of LED modules connected to one ArcPixel Power-US output is 65. For larger installation, the ArcPixel Power-US should be connected to the Robe Media Server which allows automatic pixel mapping and full control of the ArcPixes modules.
To connect ArcPixes-US
-
Disconnect ArcPixel Power-US from mains.
-
Connect ArcPixes to the ArcPixel Power-US. Connect the termination box ArcPix to each ArcPix line.
If you use Artnet for control of the ArcPixel Power-US, you can connect ArcPixes to all LED outputs 1-4.
For larger installation we recommend to set different universes for each ArcPix output. The first ArcPix has to have the bottom universe and the last ArcPix the top universe (requirement of the Robe Media Server). -
Connect ArcPixel Power-US to mains
-
Run procedures ” Search Dots” and ” Sort Dots” from the menu “Dots”
-
Save adjusted values with the option “Store Config”.
-
Connect the ArcPixel Power-US to the Robe Media Server.
Every ArcPix line has to be terminated with the termination box ArcPix!
Note: Never connect/disconnect LED modules when the ArcPixelPower-US is
under voltage!
If the line between ArcPixes is disconected, the ArcPixes behind point of
interrupt will not work. Before restoring connection between ArcPixes, switch
off the ArcPixel Power-US.
In case that some ArcPix has been changed, the same address as had original
ArcPix is assigned to the new ArcPix by the ArcPixel Power-US. It is very
important to save Dots configuration at every change of ArcPixes.(Menu “Dots”
-> “Store Config”),
Max. cable length between the ArcPixel Power-US and the last connected ArcPix
module should not exceed 100m
Note: If DMX is used for control of the ArcPixel Power-CE, the LED
outputs 1-3 may be used only. (In this case, one UART from four available
UARTs is used for DMX input and remaining three UARTs can be used for LED
outputs only. LED output load is the same as in a case of the control by
Artnet – max 65 LED modules per LED output, but max. 195 modules per fixture).
Every ArcPix line has to be terminated with the termination box ArcPix
The Robe Media Server allows to choose two modes of ArcPixes connection:
Fixed-wiring mode and Picture mode. For detailed description see the user
manual of the Robin Media Server.
4.4. Connecting ArcDots-US / ArcSource Out 4MC Pixel -US/ArcDotFlash-US
Connect ArcDots to the LED output of the ArcPixel Power-US ( max. 16 ArcDots
per output). Max. number of all LED modules connected to the ArcPixel Power-US
is 64 (but 48 ArcDotFlash-US only!). The ArcDots can be interconnected
directly or by using T- connectors – see the picture below. If you use Artnet
for control of the ArcPixel Power-US, you can connect ArcDots to all LED
outputs 1-4. For larger installation (more than 25 ArcDots), the ArcPixel
Power-US should be connected to the Robe Media
Server which allows automatic pixel mapping and full control of the ArcDots
modules. Without Robe Media Server, you have to perform pixel mapping manually
using the menu “Dots”.
To connect ArcDots
- Disconnect ArcPixel Power-US from mains.
- Connect ArcDots to the ArcPixel Power-US. Connect active terminators to each ArcDots line.
- Connect the ArcPixel Power-US to mains
- Run procedures “Search Dots” and “Sort Dots” from the menu “Dots”
- Save adjusted values with the option “Store Config”
- Disconnect the ArcPixel Power-US from mains and replace active terminators by passive terminators*.
- Connect the ArcPixel Power-US to mains and to the Robe Media Server.
- Active terminators can remain permanent connected if there is place for them (they are bigger than passive ones).
Note: Never connect/disconnect LED modules when the ArcPixelPower-US is
under voltage!
If the line between ArcDots is disconected, the ArcDots behind point of
interrupt will not work. Before restoring connection between ArcDots, switch
off the ArcPixel Power-US. In case that some ArcDot has been changed, the same
address as had original ArcDot is assigned to it by the ArcPixel Power-US. It
is very important to save ArcDots configuration at every change of an ArcDot.
(Menu “Dots” -> “Store Config”), Max. cable length between ArcPixel Power-US
and the last connected ArcDot module should not be exceeded: 100m @ 16 ArcDots
per LED output . Only one ArcDot can be connected to the T-connector.
Note: If DMX is used for control of the ArcPixel Power-US, the LED
outputs 1-3 may be used only. (In this case, one UART from four available
UARTs is used for DMX input and remaining three UARTs can be used for LED
outputs only. LED output load is the same as in a case of the control by
Artnet – max 16 LED modules per LED output, but max. 48 modules per ArcPixel
Power-US. For ArcDotFlashes-US is number reduced to max 12 LED modules per LED
output, but max. 36 modules per ArcPixel Power-US.)
Every ArcDot line has to be terminated with the passive terminator!
Note: the same rules as for the ArcDots-US go for the ArcSource Out 4MC
Pixels-US and ArcDotFlashes-US with the following exception for the
ArcDotFlashes-US: If no
DMX signal is present at ArcPixel Power-US, the ArcDotFlash modules flash
randomly (22-28 flashes per minute).
The Robe Media Server allows to choose two modes of ArcDots connection: Fixed-
wiring mode and Picture mode. For detailed description see the user manual of
the Robin Media Server.

level, sets values.
[ESCAPE] button- leaves the menu without saving value.
7.1 DMX Addr (Fixture addressing)
Set DMX Address – use this menu item to set the DMX start address of the
fixture, which is defined as the first channel from which the ArcPixel Power-
US will respond to the DMX controller.
IP address – select this menu item to set desired IP address. IP address is
the Internet protocol address.The IP uniquely identifies any node (fixture) on
a network. There cannot be 2 fixtures with the same IP address on the network!
Default Address. This address is derived from fixture´s MAC address and cannot
be changed. Confirm the item “Set Address” to select this address. Custom
Address. IP address consists of four decimal numbers, each ranging from 0 to
255, separated by dots, e.g., 172.16.254.1. Each part represents a group of 8
bits (octet) of the address.
The following items “IP Adr 1″, ” IP Adr 2″, ” IP Adr 3″, ” IP Adr 4″ allow to
set each part (number) of the address. After setting desired IP address,
confirm the item “Set Address” to save this address.
Network mask – select this menu item to set desired network mask. A network
mask is a 32-bit mask used to divide an IP address into subnets and specify
the networks available hosts. The following items “Net M.1”, “Net.M.2″, ”
Net.M.3″, ” Net.M.4″ serve for seting of each part (number) of the net mask.
After setting desired network mask, confirm the item “Set Net M.” to save
adjusted values.
7.2 Info (Fixture information)
Use this menu to read useful information about the fixture. Software version –
select this menu item to read software versions. Dot 10.0/20 – Dot version.

the MAC address (the MAC address “runs” on display). Dots – select this menu
item to read information about connected LED modules (ArcDot, ArcPix) New Dots
– the item shows the number of recently connected LED modules. Unknown Dots –
the item shows the number of LED modules which were not detected by the dot
checking procedure (“Search Dots”) .
7.3 Dots (ArcDot/ArcPix settings)
Use this menu to prepare LED module for operation in desired matrix. Search
Dots – this function checks all LED modules connected to the fixture and the
message “Done” with the number of found LED modules is displayed after
finishing the procedure. Example: Dots: 25 Search/Done The ArcPixes, ArcDots
are sorted according to their RDM UID in colour range RGB,RGB……RGB.
Sort Dots – this menu allows you to choose automatic or manual sorting of
connected LED modules. Auto Sort – Conected LED modules are sorted
automatically by the following rule: ArcPix modules are sorted according to
their IDs. ArcDot modules are sorted according to their distances from the
ArcPixel Power-US (the active terminator for the ArcDot has to be connected to
the last ArcDot at each LED output of the ArcPixel Power-US). Manual Sort –
after choosing this option, the following screen will be displayed: Example:
D001 St1 (D001..LEDE module No.1, St1… LED output 1 of the ArcPixel Power-US )
U1 A001 (U1……..universe, A001…….DMX address) You can go throw connected dots
pressing the [UP] and [DOWN] buttons, current displayed LED module starts
blinking a white colour. Press the [ENTER], item U1 starts to blink slowly.
Now by means of the [UP] and [DOWN] buttons you can move between the item A001
and U1. To edit celected item, press the [ENTER] again, selected item will
start to blink fast and you can set desired values using the UP] and [DOWN]
button. After automatic or manual sorting, do not forget to save changes by
means of the menu item „Store Config“. Restore Last – recalls last saved dots
configuration.
Fade Time – select this menu item to set a desired max. fade time (0-25.5
sec.). This adjusted fade time influences fade of RGB and dimmer during DMX
operation: If time between two receiving DMX values is > than fade time set in
the item “Fade Time”, the entire adjusted fade time will be used. If time
between two receiving DMX values is < than fade time set in the item “Fade
Time”, the adjusted fade time will be reduced to fill entire time between the
two receiving DMX values. e.g. “Fade Time”.=2sec. and fixture has received
Red=0 DMX, after 5 seconds will receive Red=255 DMX. It means, that red will
go to full intensity during 2 seconds. “Fade Time”=8 sec. and fixture has
received Red=0 DMX, after 5 seconds will receive Red=255 DMX. It means, that
red will go to full intensity during 5 seconds. (Max, fade time is reduced
from 8 sec. to 5 sec.).
Dots Curve – this menu item allows you to select desired running of colour
saturation. You can select 255 colour saturation runnings in all. The value 0
corresponds linear curve, the value 128 corresponds exponential curve with
index 1.9 and last value 255 corresponds exponential curve with index 2.6.
RGBW 4ch Mode – This function activates four channels RGBW mode (see DMX
protocol) – for RGBW modules only.
Order Mode – the menu allows to select a method how LED modules will be
assigned to the Artnet Universe.
Order Compact – All LED modules will be assigned to the Universe at the first
LED output. After filling this Universe, the rest of LED modules will be
assigned to the Universe at the LED output 2.
Order Universe – LED modules output will be assigned to different Universes.

Incorporation of new dots (after replacing faulty dots)
In case that some faulty dots have been replaced with the new dots, the
following error message will appear after switching the fixture on:
“Ch. 1 Cfg Mismatch” – it means new dots at LED output 1
“Ch. 2 Cfg Mismatch” – it means new dots at LED output 2
“Ch. 3 Cfg Mismatch” – it means new dots at LED output 3
“Ch. 4 Cfg Mismatch” -it means new dots at LED output 4
You have to use the special procedure to incorporate new dots into existing
dot lines.
There is an example of this procedure for the following dots connection:
The dots are connected to the ArcPixel Power and the 5 dots have been replaced
(dot 1,2, at output 1 and dot 1,2,3 at output 2).
After switching the ArcPixelPower on,the following message will appear “Ch. 1
Cfg Mismatch”.
1.Press the [ENTER] to enter menu “New Dot” and use the [UP] and [DOWN ] to
browse items Sel 1, Sel 2 (appropriate dot lights in green) – pictures
(1),(2).
2. Select the dot 2 and press the [ENTER] to enter menu “Miss Dot”.The Dot 2
starts flashing in green and by means of items Sel 1, Sel 2 select the
following colour combination of dots when the blue dot will be after the dot
2-picture (3). The situation on picture 4 is not correct, the blue dot is not
closely to green dot.
Note: The replaced dot flashes in green and the dot before this dot (near
to the ArcPixelPower) has to be inred and the dot after the flashing dot has
to be in blue. The red and blue dots have to be closely to the green dot (not
second or the third.dot). At least one position of colour dot (red or blue)
has to be always kept. In case of dot 2 on picture (3) you can select only
variant with the blue dot after the green dot becase the dot 1 has not been
incorporated to the dot line yet and cannot shine in red colour.
3.
Press the [ENTER] to go back to the menu “New Dot” and select dot 1 and press
the [ENTER] to enter the menu “Miss Dot”. The Dot 1 starts flashing in green
and by means of items Sel 1, Sel 2 select the following colour combination of
dots when the blue dot will be after dot 1-picture (5).
4. Press the [ENTER] to go back to the menu “New Dot and using items Sel 1,
Sel 2 you can see incorporated dots -picture (6), (7).
5.
Select the item “Check channel” , press the [ENTER] and after dot checking
procedure the message “Ch. 2 Cfg Mismatch” will appear. Press the [ENTER] to
enter menu “New Dot” and use the [UP] and [DOWN ] to browse items Sel 1, Sel 2
Sel
3 (appropriate dot lights in green) – pictures (8),(9), (10).
6. Select the dot 10 and press the [ENTER] to enter menu “Miss Dot”.The Dot
10 starts flashing in green (picture (11) and by means of items Sel 1, Sel 2,
Sel 3 select the following colour combination of dots when the blue dot will
be after dot 10-picture (12). The blue dot 11 lights at LED output 3 because
in this situation dots behave like one dot chain (from dot 16 to dot 1).
7. Press the [ENTER] to go back to the menu “New Dot” and select dot 9
(picture 13) and press the [ENTER] to enter the menu “Miss Dot”. The Dot 9
starts flashing in green.

combination of dots when the blue dot will be after dot 9-picture (14).
9. Press the [ENTER] to go back to the menu “New Dot” and select dot 8
(picture 15) and press the [ENTER] to enter the menu “Miss Dot”. The Dot 8
starts flashing in green and by means of items Sel 1, Sel 2, Sel 3 select the
following colour combination of dots when the blue dot will be after the dot 8
and the red dot before the dot 8-picture (16).
10. Press the [ENTER] to go back to the menu “New Dot and using items Sel 1, Sel 2, Sel 3 you can see incorporated dots -picture (17), (18), (19). you can see correct combination of pixels red, green, blue.
