Pixie Strip 30 / 60 / 120 Installation
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 installations.
DO NOT INSTALL THE DEVICE IF YOU ARE NOT QUALIFIED TO DO SO!
The device MUST be installed following all local, national, and country commercial electrical and
construction codes and regulations.
Before rigging or mounting a single xture or multiple interconnected xtures for custom matrix
designs to any metal truss or structure or placing the xture(s) on any surface, a professional equip-
ment installer MUST be consulted to determine whether the metal truss, structure, or surface is
properly certied to safely support the combined weight of the xture(s), clamps, cables, and any
other accessories.
Fixture(s) should be installed in areas outside walking paths, seating areas, or away from areas
where unauthorized personnel might be able to reach the device by hand.
NEVER stand directly below the xture(s) when rigging, removing, or servicing. Overhead xture
installation must always be secured with a secondary safety attachment, such as an appropriately
rated safety cable (not included) that meets all local, national, and country codes and regulations.
Allow approximately 15 minutes for the xture to cool down before servicing.
SOCKET PIN CONFIGURATION
This device features two (2) output sockets on the back side, which may be used to connect the
device to the desired lighting xtures. The pins for each output socket are congured as shown in
the image below. Please consult a qualied electrician for all electrical connections and/or
installations.
Pin 1: Power (+)
Pin 2: Data
Pin 3: CLK (clock pin)
Pin 4: Power (-)

CLAMP INSTALLATION
This xture features a sliding, adjustable mounting bracket (some models feature multiple mounting
brackets), as well as a safety cable attachment point on the main body of the xture (see illustration
below). When mounting this xture in a suspended environment, be sure to secure an appropriately
rated clamp (not included) to the mounting bracket, and attach a separate SAFETY CABLE (not
included) to the safety cable attachment point.
SAFETY CABLE
Always attach a safety cable whenever installing this xture in a suspended
environment in order to ensure the xture will not fall if the clamp fails!
RIGGING
Overhead rigging requires extensive experience, including but not limited to: calculating working
load limits, understanding the installation material being used, and periodic safety inspection of all
installation material and the xture itself. If you lack the qualication, do not attempt the installation
yourself. Improper installation can result in bodily injury.

Pixie Strip 30 / 60 / 120 Installation
MULTIPLE FIXTURES
Multiple xtures may be daisy chained together via the Power/Data In and Power/Data Out ports
located on each xture. The maximum number of xtures that may be daisy chained together and
connected to a single driver output port is determined by a combination of the driver output limita-
tions and the RGB pixel control conguration.
Please see the Driver Output Limitation section and the RGB Pixel Control sections of the manual
for the ADJ Pixie Driver 2000 for details on these limitations and how to congure these settings to
best accommodate your desired lighting setup.
The ADJ Pixie Driver 2000 that has been designed to work with these lighting xtures has been pro-
grammed not to allow Pixie Strip xtures to be added in such a way that the driver port output limita-
tions will be exceeded. This is done by limiting the number of Pixie Strip units that can be selected in
the System Menu of the driver based on what has already been set up. Please see the Driver Output
Limitations section of the Pixie Driver 2000 manual for more detailed information.
