SAFETY GUIDELINES

• DO NOT shake device, and avoid brute force when installing and operating.

• DO NOT operate device if the power cord has been frayed, crimped, damaged, and/or if any of

the power cord connectors are damaged and do not insert easily into the device.

• NEVER force a power cord connector into the device. If the power cord or any of its connectors
are damaged, it must immediately be replaced with a new cord or connector of the same power
rating.

• DO NOT block any air ventilation slots.

• All fan and air inlets must remain clean and never blocked.

• For proper cooling, allow approx. 6” (15cm) between the device and other devices or a wall.

• When installing the device in a suspended environment, always use mounting hardware that is at

least M10x25mm, and always install the device with an appropriately rated safety cable.

• Always disconnect the device from its main power source before performing any type of service
or cleaning procedure.

• Handle the cord only by the plug end. NEVER pull out the plug by tugging on the wire portion of
the cord.

• Consistent operational breaks will ensure that the device functions properly for many years.

• Use ONLY the original packaging and materials to transport the device in the event that service

or repair is required.

7

MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES

DISCONNECT POWER BEFORE PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE!

CLEANING

Frequent cleaning is recommended to ensure proper function and extended life. The frequency of
cleaning depends on the environment in which the device operates: damp, smoky, or particularly
dirty environments can cause greater accumulation of dirt on the device and air vents. Clean the
external surface regularly with a soft cloth to avoid dirt/debris accumulation.

NEVER use alcohol, solvents, or ammonia-based cleaners.

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 Elation
service technician. Should you need any spare parts, please order genuine parts from your local
Elation dealer.

Please refer to the following points during routine inspections:

• A detailed electrical check by an approved electrical engineer every three months, in order 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, sus­pension, trussing). Deformations in the housing could allow for dust to enter into the device.
Damaged rigging points or unsecured rigging could cause the device to fall and seriously injure a
person(s).

• Electrical power supply cables must not show any damage, material fatigue, or sediments.

NEVER remove the ground prong from the power cable.

INSTALLATION GUIDELINES

FLAMMABLE MATERIAL WARNING!

Keep drive a minimum of 5.0 feet (1.5m) away from ammable material and/or pyrotechnics.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

A qualied electrician should be used for all electrical connections and/or devices.

FOR USE IN INDOOR OR DRY LOCATIONS ONLY!
DO NOT EXPOSE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE!

DO NOT INSTALL THE DEVICE IF YOU ARE NOT QUALIFIED TO DO SO!

Device MUST be installed following all local, national, and country commercial electrical and con­struction codes and regulations.

Before rigging/mounting the device to any metal truss/structure or placing the device on any surface,
a professional equipment installer MUST be consulted to determine if the metal truss/structure or

surface is properly certied to safely hold the combined weight of the device, clamps, cables, and

accessories. Overhead device installation must always be secured with a secondary safety attach­ment, such as an appropriately rated safety cable that meets all local, national, and country codes and
regulations.

Device ambient operating temperature range is 14° to 113°F (-10° to 45°C). Do not use the device
when the ambient temperature falls outside of this range.

Device should be installed in areas outside walking paths, seating areas, or away from areas were

unauthorized personnel might reach the xture by hand.

NEVER stand directly below the device when rigging, removing, or servicing.

10

INSTALLATION GUIDELINES

RACK MOUNTING

The device can be rack mounted in a standard 19-inch rack space. Attach the included rack ears to
both sides of the device using the included screws. Tighten rack ear screws securely but do NOT over
tighten. Use careful planning when rack mounting the device to allow ample space for the power/data
cables.

11

INSTALLATION GUIDELINES

TRUSS MOUNTING

The device can be attached to truss or a like structure using an appropriated truss clamp (not included)
and an M10 screw (not included).

SAFETY CABLE

ALWAYS ATTACH A SAFETY

CABLE TO THE SAFETY CABLE

LOOP ON THE BACK OF THE

DEVICE WHENEVER INSTALLING

THIS DEVICE IN A SUSPENDED

ENVIRONMENT TO ENSURE THE

FIXTURE WILL NOT DROP IF THE

CLAMP FAILS.

RIGGING

Overhead rigging requires extensive experience, including calculating working load limits, installation
material being used, and periodic safety inspection of all installation material and the device, among

other requirements. If you lack these qualications, do not attempt the installation yourself. Improper

installation can result in bodily injury.

INSTALLATION LOCATION PLANNING

Use careful planning to select the installation location of the PIXEL DRIVER 4000 V2 unit(s). The

maximumdistancefromthedrivertotherstpixelbarshouldnotexceed50feet(18m).

SYSTEM CONFIGURATION

CONTROL

PIXEL DRIVER 4000 V2 supports Kling-NET, Art-NET, and sACN control protocols. It can be con­trolled by an Art-NET compatible controller/console and for advanced pixel programming, or it can
be controlled via a computer with media software such as ArKaos Media Master. The driver also
includes 16 internal programs for easy stand-alone demo proposes, which can be accessed manu­ally from the 4-button LCD control menu display.

PC – DRIVER DIRECT CONNECTION

Up to 5 PIXEL DRIVER 4000 V2 units can be linked (daisy-chained) from a computer.
For systems requiring more than 5 drivers, see the next section for more information.

PC – NETWORK SWITCH CONNECTION

Up to 50 PIXEL DRIVER 4000 V2 units can be linked (daisy-chained) from a computer and a Gigabit
Ethernet Switch (not included) that supports IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol). Using
a Gigabit Ethernet Switch that does not support IGMP can cause erratic behavior of all connected
devices to the switch. Up to 5 PIXEL DRIVER 4000 V2 units can be connected per ethernet switch
port and up to 10 total ethernet switch ports can be used in a system. Click link below for more
information about IGMP.

PIXEL GROUPING

Each pixel requires three channels (red, green, and blue) to operate, and therefore the number of pixels

(and consequently, the number of devices) that the driver can control is limited by the total number of

control channels available on the driver.

However, this driver also gives the user the ability to adjust the pixel grouping conguration. In

the standard conguration, individual pixels are controlled independently for ner control over the

resolution of the 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 eective pixel count for each xture. The downside to this is the reduced resolution

of the lighting display.

In each pixel control mode, the rst number denotes the number of individual pixels that make up each

control group, while the second number denotes the number of control groups. Each control group will

always occupy 3 DMX channels (for red, green, and blue control). This means that within each control

group, all pixels will be controlled by the same set of 3 DMX channels.

For example, let us examine a 30-pixel strip, as shown below. Selecting 2x15 mode means that the

pixels will be divided into 15 control groups, with each group containing 2 LEDs.

In this mode, a total of 45 DMX channels are used: 3 DMX channels (for Red, Green, Blue) per group
multiplied by 15 groups.

If we want to reduce the number of control groups required, one possible solution is to select a dierent

pixel grouping mode. For instance, selecting 3x10 mode will result in the LED display being divided into
10 control groups each containing 3 pixels. Therefore, the number of DMX channels required drops to
30: 10 control groups multiplied by 3 DMX channels (for Red, Green, and Blue) per group.

Available pixel grouping modes are shown in the tables on the following pages.
