Review the following safety precautions carefully before installing or operating the device.

• Do not open the device; there are no user-serviceable parts inside.

• Ensure that power is cut off when connecting the device and its power supply unit to the AC mains supply.

• Ensure that the power supply units are electrically connected to earth (ground).

• Do not apply power if the device or mains cable is in any way damaged.

• Do not immerse the xtures in water or liquid.

• Install only in accordance with applicable building codes.

• Do not paint, cover, or modify the device, and do not lter or mask the light.

Overview

The LP-700 LED Pixel system is a rail-mounted, DMX-controllable, pixel-effect light strip incorporating pixels

with red, green & blue (RGB) color mixing. These strips are IP65-rated and are designed for permanent indoor

or outdoor installation. LED Pixels are ideal for pixel arrays or similar daisy-chained arrays of multiple DMX

controllable effect xtures. LP-700 LED Pixels have an LED life expectancy of 50,000 hours.

Each strip contains 56 LP-700 LED Pixels, but can be cut or spliced to the appropriate length. When installed

on the supplied rails, a pixel array can be installed with a pitch of 60, 80, 100 or 120 mm (2.4, 3.1, 3.9 or 4.7 in.).

(Pitch is the distance from the center of one pixel to the center of the next pixel.) LP-700 LED Pixels are DMX-

controllable and self-addressing, with up to 168 individual pixels being able to be controlled using a single DMX

universe.

Preparing for installation

Each LP-700 LED Pixel strip—or any length of up to 56 pixels—must be connected to an LP-700 power supply

unit (P/N 83061701). The rst strip, or up to 56 pixels, is connected to mains supply and a DMX-compatible control

device (not supplied) using an LP-700 Injector (P/N 83062007). After 56 pixels, the power supply must be boosted

by connecting an additional power supply unit (P/N 83061701) that is connected to mains supply, using an LP-700

Power Injector (P/N 83062008); DMX control is passed from one strip to the next, via the Power Injector.

The maximum cabled-distance between a power supply unit and the rst LP-700 LED Pixel that it supplies power

to is 3 metres (10 feet).
