1. 1.1 INTRODUCTION General 64PXL Board RGB features 64 ultra bright RGB SMD LEDs on a 8 x 8matrix with a 31.25mm/1.23 pitch. Although the LEDs provide ultra brightness, high resolution videos and graphic replays can be created by combining multiple boards. The 64PXL Board is DMX compatible which allows daisy chaining with the Traxon TX Connect system. On-board SMART CHIP technology with the powerful feature of auto-addressing enables easy setup and installation. Features: 64 Ultra Bright RGB SMD LEDs TX Connect System DMX512 / e:pix / DVI capable Auto-Addressing SMART CHIP Technology Indoor Applications Installation Guide 05/15 V1.3 3 of 18

2. 2.1 INSTALLATION Points To Consider Plan your installation before mounting the String. The following should be considered for a successful installation. Installation distances and appropriate cable lengths. Please consult your local Traxon office or authorized agent for necessary aid. The number of 64PXL Board RGBs and appropriate LED Engines. Any DMX512 controllers to be used with the products. 2.2 On-Site Installation 2.2.1 1. ALWAYS keep the cables protected from sharp objects and ensure no damage is generated on the cables. Failure to keep the product within the operating temperature range of 0 C to 50 C (+32 F to +122 F) and storage temperature range of 20 C to +70 C ( 4 F to +158 F) will void the product s warranty. Mounting To mount the board, first fit the nylon spacers into the mounting holes from the rear of the board. Then use the screws to firmly fasten the board to a flat surface. Careful not to over-tighten the screws, see below diagram. FIG.3: Board Mounting MOUNTING SPACER (4x) SCREW (4x) 125mm/4.92 Installation Guide 05/15 V1.3 5 of 18

The LED location on the Board and its DMX channel is shown in above diagram and in the following table. LED Dice DMX Channel Number R 192(n-1) + 24(x-1) + 3(y-1) + 1 G 192(n-1) + 24(x-1) + 3(y-1) + 2 B 192(n-1) + 24(x-1) + 3(y-1) + 3 Where: n is the Board position in the chain. x is the LED horizontal position on the Board. y is the LED vertical position on the Board. Power On: 64PXL Board RGB has an approximately one second initialization period after power-on. During this period, the LEDs on the board may light up randomly. This is normal behavior of the board.

If the product is not working as specified, please contact your nearest authorized service center or Traxon Technologies office for assistance. Installation Guide 05/15 V1.3 12 of 18
6. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION 64PXL Board RGB Color Range 16.7 Million additive RGB colors with variable intensity Light Source 64 Ultra Bright SMD LED Beam Angle 120 Power Input* 24V DC Power Consumption 24W max. Operating Temperature 0 C to +50 C / +32 F to +122 F Storage Temperature 20 C to 70 C / 4 F to +158 F *For use with TRAXON LED Engine Smart 100W Indoor (PS.IA.0010000) power unit. This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. As with all electronic devices, LED output degrades over time - a term called lumen depreciation. This also explains why it is nearly impossible to expect photometric performances of two LED products with different service life spans to be the same. The rate of LED degradation is a complex function of many factors such as operating efficiency, duration of continuous operation, and operating conditions (e.g. ambient temperature). Because LEDs are semiconductor devices, their performances are subject to inherent variability commonly found in semiconductor industry. To improve consistency in performance across the same product, LED manufacturers sort LEDs into bins according to different preset parameters, such as forward driving voltage, illumination, etc. Whereas binning is a sorting function, it is not a correction process. Inherent variability in the manufacturing process always results in different binning distributions according to different production lots. Traxon uses automatically binned LEDs on its products, thereby minimizing output variations within the model range. Installation Guide 05/15 V1.3 13 of 18
