INTRODUCTION WELCOME Welcome to the Flex Tube Pixel from Acclaim Lighting. Like all Flex Tubes, these flexible LED powered strips produce a greatly homogenized light output along their full length. The difference with the Pixel variant is that it is internally split into 80 separate segments. Each segment is individually addressable so that you can apply different mixes of red, green and blue colors to each segment. The segments closely abut each other and, combined with the homogenizing effect of the tube optics, produce smooth color transitions between the segments. Designed from the outset for external applications, Flex Tube Pixels are rated to IP68 and can be submersed up to 3 feet (1m) in depth.

Flex Tube Pixel DC IN DMX OUT DMX IN Pixel Driver 1 8888 SPI OUTPUT DMX Data 10A Max. NC MENU UP DOWN IP20 Made inp.r.c. DMX output Each Flex Tube Pixel strip is controlled by its own dedicated Pixel Driver 1 module. Each Pixel Driver 1 module takes a standard DMX control input, plus a 24VDC power feed, at one end and supplies a specialized data signal, together with 24VDC power to the Flex Tube Pixel strip at the other. The data signal allows the 80 segments in each strip to be uniquely addressed and controlled. If a strip is cut and the new section is connected to a Pixel Driver 1 module, the first segment in the new strip will automatically be addressed as the first segment (rather than retaining whatever its original address designation was), with all the other segments following on sequentially. The Acclaim Lighting APS-300-24-IP (IP67-rated) power supply is ideal for providing power for up to two Pixel Driver 1 modules and their respective full length Flex Tube Pixel strips. See the section Control and power on page 7 and also www.acclaimlighting.com for further details. SAFETY Ensure that the power input is supplied from a correctly fused and environmentally protected location. 2 www.acclaimlighting.com

LARGE SCALE INSTALLATIONS A common requirement is to drive large arrays of Flex Tube Pixel strips. To achieve this we offer a tried and trusted hybrid solution using Pharos controllers and multiple ARTNET 8 converters. A base choice of two Pharos controllers is offered: LPC X - Capable of controlling multiple zones across a selectable number of DMX universes; from 10 to 100 (5,120 channels up to 51,200). VLC - Able to play video content across a single zone of many DMX universes, selectable from 50 DMX universes up to 1500 (25,600 channels up to 768,000). Programming for both types is carried out using the free Pharos Designer 2 software.

Flex Tube Pixel The ArtNet output from each Pharos controller is fed to multiple Acclaim Lighting ARTNET 8 converters, each of which splits out the individual universes and sends them to the appropriate Pixel Driver 1 units. Each Pixel Driver 1 then feeds its own Flex Tube Pixel strip. www.acclaimlighting.com 3

MOLDED INPUT STYLES Flex Tube Pixel strips are available with a choice of three IP68-rated injection molded (IM) feed connection styles. In each case the 3-core feed cable is 9.84 (3m) in length and supplied with bare tails: Flex Tube Pixel with feed connection on the side face (FTY-224-####) Flex Tube Pixel with feed connection on the rear face (FTY-225-####) Flex Tube Pixel with feed connection on the end (FTY-226-####) 4 www.acclaimlighting.com

INSTALLATION FLEX TUBE PIXEL ORIENTATION When attaching connections to a Flex Tube Pixel (which has been cut) it is important to know which way it is orientated. Each Flex Tube Pixel has an 01 end and an 02 end; these are marked at each 4.9 (125mm) cut point: 01 02 Cut point mark (shown every 4.9 /125mm) The optional feed connectors are marked with a 01 designation, while end caps are marked with 02. You must ensure that feed and end caps are fitted at the correct ends of the strip, so that their designations match that of the Flex Tube Pixel into which they are being inserted. 01 01 Feed connectors are marked with 01 and must only be connected to a section similarly marked 01 See page 9. Note: When the injection molded ends of the Flex Tube Pixel are intact, the overall environmental protection rating is IP68. When a cut is made and a feed connector or end cap is correctly fitted, the rating must be considered as lowered slightly to IP67. 02 End caps are marked with 02 and must only be connected to a section similarly marked 02. See page 12. 02 www.acclaimlighting.com 5

BENDING A FLEX TUBE PIXEL Flex Tubes are designed to be bent, in either direction, of one axis only - to a minimum bend radius of 5 (127mm): Minimum bend radius: 5 (127mm) Flex Tubes are NOT designed to be bent in the other direction. Damage will be caused to the internal circuitry. Avoid twisting Flex Tubes at all times. Damage will be caused to the internal circuitry. CUTTING A FLEX TUBE PIXEL Each Flex Tube Pixel is marked every 4.9 (125mm) with cut marks. It is important that cuts are only made at these points to ensure internal components are not damaged and also that the connection terminals are readily available. All cuts should be made using the special shears supplied within the optional Flex Tube toolkit. 6 www.acclaimlighting.com

CONTROL AND POWER Flex Tube Pixel strips are run at 24VDC and consume 3.65W per foot (or 12W per meter) - 120W for a full length 32.8 /10m strip. A 9.84 (3m) feed cable is supplied, injection molded to the strip. This 3-core cable has bare tails. Further connection cables (not supplied) used to link Flex Tube Pixel strips to the Pixel Driver 1 unit should follow these guidelines: Up to 98 feet (30m) 14 AWG (2.081mm 2 ) Ensure that the voltage drop at the fixture end of the link cable is no greater than 8% (1.92V) of the original 24VDC supply.

CONNECTION AND MOUNTING KITS Where cuts need to be made in the Flex Tube Pixel strip, optional feed cable and end cap kits are available. Several lengths of mounting channels are also available: Feed cable kit - used for linking a Flex Tube Pixel with driver circuitry. See below End cap kit - used to seal an open end of Flex Tube Pixel. See page 12 Mounting channel - used to fix a Flex Tube Pixel to a surface. See page 15 FEED CABLE KIT This optional kit adds a connection point to a Flex Tube Pixel strip which has been cut. Notes: This kit can only be fitted at the 01 end of the strip. When the injection molded ends of the Flex Tube Pixel are intact, the overall environmental protection rating is IP68. When a cut is made and a feed connector or end cap is correctly fitted, the rating must be considered as lowered slightly to IP67.

SELF-LOCKING MOUNTING CHANNEL KIT These kits are used to mount Flex Tube Pixel strips onto solid surfaces. KIT CONTENTS Mount channel with spring clips (1.38 /35mm, 3.28 /1m or 6.56 /2m lengths) Mount screws x2, 5 or 10 (depending on channel length) TO INSTALL A SELF-LOCKING MOUNTING CHANNEL KIT 1 Use appropriate screws and fixings for the intended mounting surface. Each channel is supplied with an appropriate number of screws; these screws (M3 x 15) are best suited to mounting on wooden surfaces or possibly in other surfaces with the use of wall plugs. If you need to source alternative screws, be aware that the limited space within the mount channel restricts the screws used to the following dimensions: Ø3.5mm max Ø7mm max 2 Ensure the spring clip(s) are in place within the mount channel and are not blocking the screw holes. Do not remove the spring clip(s) from the channel. Note: Due to the tightness of their fit in the channel, the spring clips can be difficult to slide along. However, this is made easier if you insert a flat blade screw driver into the channel and engage it simultaneously with one side of the clip s base plus one of the two wings so that you can apply pressure to both as you slide it along. 3 Attach the mount channel to the intended surface, taking all appropriate precautions as you do so. 1.38 (35mm) mounts have two holes, spaced 1 (25mm) apart, 3.28 (1 meter) mounts have five holes, spaced 7.87 (200mm) apart, 6.56 (2 meter) mounts have ten holes, spaced 7.87 (200mm) apart. www.acclaimlighting.com 15

4 Push the Flex Tube Pixel (front face outwards) fully into the mount channel until it engages fully with the spring clip(s). Flex Tube Pixel front face If you should need to remove the Flex Tube Pixel, gently pull it out from the mount channel, taking care not to twist the strip. 16 www.acclaimlighting.com

OPERATION The Pixel Driver 1 controller can drive up to 32.8 (10m) of Flex Tube Pixel tape. The behavior of the connected Flex Tube Pixel is determined using the control menu. MENU NAVIGATION Use the three control buttons to navigate around the menu and alter settings as necessary. Press and hold the MENU button for two seconds to enter and exit edit mode within a menu option.

SETUP SHORTCUTS If you re in a hurry, apply these settings to achieve common configurations: 32.8 (10m) length with 80 small pixels (DMX addr: 001) 16.4 (5m) length with 40 small pixels (DMX addr: 001) 32.8 (10m) length with 40 medium pixels (DMX addr: 001) 32.8 (10m) length with 10 large pixels (DMX addr: 001) A001 9r01 P080 CH03 IC01 A001 9r01 P040 CH03 IC01 A001 9r02 P040 CH03 IC01 A001 9r08 P010 CH03 IC01 MENU OPTIONS During configuration, three options determine how the Flex Tube Pixel will operate: A001 - The DMX base address, 9r01 - The segment grouping (pixel size), P080 - The total number of pixels. Two of the remaining three options (IC01 and CH03) must remain in their default settings and the Shxx option is used for performing self tests (see page 19). DMX BASE ADDRESS (Axxx) Configures the base DMX address for the first color (red) of the first segment, or group of segments* of the Flex Tube Pixel. Successive DMX channels control the remaining colors within the various segments. When setting the base address, ensure sufficient channels remain at the upper end to control all of the pixels. For instance, a 10 meter Flex Tube Pixel strip with 80 pixels requires 240 DMX channels, so the base address in such a case cannot be greater than 273. * As determined by the 9rxx setting. SEGMENT GROUPING (9rxx) Determines how the various segments of the Flex Tube Pixel are matched to the incoming group(s) of three (RGB) DMX channels to form the controllable pixels (i.e. pixel resolution). The options range from the assignment of a set of RGB channels for each individual segment (i.e. a pixel size of 1 segment: 9r01); up to assigning one set of RGB channels to control the whole strip (i.e. up to 80 segments as one pixel, controlled by just 3 channels: 9rAL). 39.37 (1 meter) 9r01 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9r02 1 2 3 4 9r04 1 2 9r08 1 9rAL All segments (up to 80) The diagram above shows how the eight segments within each meter section are affected by the 9rxx option; these settings would be repeated across the remaining length of the Flex Tube Pixel strip. 18 www.acclaimlighting.com

PIXEL RANGE (Pxxx) Defines the total number of pixels under control. This option is interdependent with the 9rxx segment grouping setting, which determines how many segments form each pixel, and how many DMX channels are required to control them. 9rxx Pxxx Number of DMX channels required for 32 (10 meters) 01 080 240 02 040 120 04 020 60 08 010 30 AL 010 3 This option has a minimum setting of 010. There are no major issues with setting the Pxxx value too high for a given number of pixels*; however, if set too low, the pixels which lie beyond the stated limit will most likely illuminate beyond control. * The only minor issue caused by setting the Pxxx value higher than the actual number of pixels becomes apparent when the self tests Sh03 and Sh04 are performed. In Sh03, the scrolling pixel will disappear at the upper end (while it visits non-existant segments) before running back down the length of the strip. In Sh04, the halfway split in the strip will move toward the upper end. SELF TEST MODE (Shxx) This menu option provides self test routines designed to help check for stuck or failed emitters within an installation. No DMX input is required to run these tests. TO RUN A SELF TEST 1 Configure the required segment grouping and pixel range settings for the installed Flex Tube Pixel strip. 2 Use the DOWN button repeatedly until the display shows Shxx (where xx is a value between 01 and 04). 3 Press and hold the MENU button for roughly two seconds until the bar and dot on the left side of the display start flashing. 4 Use the UP/DOWN buttons to choose any of the four test sequences: Sh01 - Shows a rapid sequential strobing through all red, green and blue emitters, Sh02 - Slowly fades between all red, green and blue emitters, Sh03 - Shows a band of pixels which scroll from end to end and back again, alternately using the red, green and blue emitters*, Sh04 - Shows two separate slow fades in each half of the strip, alternately using the red, green and blue emitters*. * The exact manner in which the Flex Tube Pixel strip responds to these tests is determined by the 9rxx and Pxxx menu settings, see page 19. 5 Press and hold the MENU button for roughly two seconds until the bar and dot on the left side of the display stop flashing. Note: The last state of the test pattern will remain until either a DMX input is applied or the power input is cycled. www.acclaimlighting.com 19

CHANNEL MODE (CH03) Determines the type of strip being controlled and the type of LED emitters contained within each segment: 01 for single color, 02 for dynamic white, 03 for RGB and 04 for RGBW. Flex Tube Pixel strips are currently available only in RGB, so this option should remain at CH03. INTEGRATED CIRCUIT (IC01) Determines the type of addressable driver ICs used within the connected Flex Tube Pixel. Currently the only valid option is IC01 and this setting should not be changed. 20 www.acclaimlighting.com

FURTHER INFORMATION TROUBLESHOOTING NO LIGHT OUTPUT IS VISIBLE WHEN EXPECTED. Check that power is correctly applied to the fixture and that there is no damage to the power input cord.
