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

8
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, sus-
pension, 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.

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 con-
struction 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 attach-
ment, 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.

unauthorized personnel might reach the xture by hand.
NEVER stand directly below the device when rigging, removing, or servicing.

11
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.
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.

SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
CONTROL
PIXEL DRIVER 4000 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 con-
trolled 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 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 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 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 informa-
tion 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.
