RESPONSIBILITY
Nexwell products are not intended for the use in: medical purposes as a
direct threat and sustaining life and human health; industrial purposes, re-
ferring to controlling of crical for safety reasons, of technological proces-
ses and their safety systems, and in other applicaons, whose failure could
danger human lives or cause environmental disasters.
INSTALLATION PLACE
Nexwell products shall be installed where the access is possible without
any special equipment (e. g. ladders), and in that way the assembly or di-
sassembly does not result in any material losses (e. g. do not immure it).
PACKAGING AND UTILIZATION
The products are packaged in biodegradable, environmentally-friendly, se-
parable cardboard materials, and protecng ESD foil.
Disposal of waste of used electrical and electronic equipment (for the Eu-
ropean Union and other European countries with separate collecon sys-
tems) the European Direcve 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical & Electro-
nic Equipment (WEEE) enunciates a ban on disposing used electrical and
electronic equipment together with other waste as municipal waste – you
could get ned. According to the law, used devices must be collected se-
parately and sorted. The thwarted “trash” symbol on the product reminds
you of your obligaon of special sorng. Consumers should contact their
local authority or retailer for informaon concerning the proceeding with
used electrical and electronic equipment.

2 | Overview
The module Fox LED is available as basic and Fox LED POWER version. Both ver-
sion are dierent in their output power. The basic version has an output power
of about 0.6 W, this power shall be controlled by an amplier. Therefore, the
POWER version has an output power of 140 W at 12 V, or 280 W at 24 V, also this
module can be connected to an amplier.
Both versions are devices of the Fox system, having eight PWM outputs, type OC,
cooperang with regular bulbs and LED strips, white and RGB mul-colour lights.
Usage Descripon of the device
• Outputs
◦ Type: transistor
◦ Number of outputs: 8
◦ Load of a single Fox LED output: 7 mA
◦ Total group load of one RGBW channel output Fox LED POWER: 6 A
◦ Maximum operang voltage Fox LED/Fox LED POWER outputs: 36 V
◦ State LEDs: No
◦ Manual control: No
• Power supply: 24 VDC
• PWM operang voltage: 195 Hz (± 10 Hz)
• Power consumpon: 80 mA
• Communicaon: Fox BUS
• Addressing module: DIP switches
• Installaon: switchboard – DIN rail [TH-35]
• Width on the DIN rail: U/3
Physical characteriscs
The module Fox LED needs to be connected with other system components thro-
ugh the Fox BUS rail. Aer the successful connecon, the module shall be con-
gured through the applicaon FoxMaker.

Denions
System inputs – transistor power outputs in the OC circuit, working as PWM out-
put
Fox BUS inputs – the Fox BUS inputs possess two data lines as well as +/- 24 VDC
power supply.
Power supply input for LED strips (for the module Fox LED Power) – input for
external power supply, whose task it is to power LED strips.

Funconality of the module housing
The module is designed for connecon to the Fox BUS rail. A bus connector is
built-in in a suitable spot of the housing, which guarantees an easy and correct
connecon to the other Fox system components.

3 | Installation and connection
The module Fox OUT is a device of the Fox BUS. It is designed for usage in switch-
boards on a DIN rail. Module width on the rail - U/3 (52 mm).
Please follow the general installaon instrucons for the installaon of the bus.
The installaon work should done without any power supply.
Installaon
Connecon
WARNING
Please ghten the screws 24 hours, aer installing the connectors to the rail, to x the
electrical contact.
WARNING
Cables, that are longer than 15 metres, need to be shielded. Do not wire cables of local
inputs close to electrical wires. The local inputs ignore electrical disturbances less than
20 ms.
1. Before powering the device, an address needs to be set. The addressing is
done by changing the state of the switches located on the housing of the
device – switch addressing [1-5] (see gure). In the project documentaon
you should note the device’s address and its locaon in the building.
2. Then connect the Fox BUS communicaon and module power supply. You
shall use the Fox BUS rails, there are right and le ones available (see -
gure).
Le and right Fox BUS rail
The Fox BUS rails are designed to connect up to four modules with the width U/6
each. We suggest to place module with a smaller width at the end of the le rail,
and to place smaller ones at the beginning of the right rail.
3. Aerwards you need to connect the PE cable (see gure).

4. The next step is to connect the module outputs in a suitable manner to the
circuits (see gure).
a) Connect LEDs to the module Fox LED
b) Connect LEDs to the module Fox LED POWER
5. Connect the wires to the receivers, and also connect power supply cables.
6. Aer compleng the installaon, you can power the bus.
7. Aerwards you can go on with the module conguraon in the FoxMaker.
WARNING
The Fox BUS connecon via power supply and communicaon cables is resistant to short-
circuits up to -/+ 30 VDC.
WARNING
Please note that you need, for the correct conguraon of the Fox LED, the module Fox NET.
The minimum needed for conguring the Fox system with Fox LED consists of Fox LED and
Fox NET.

4 | Configuration
The device Fox LED needs to be congured through a computer and the appli-
caon FoxMaker. It is a licensed freeware, and can be found on the producer’s
website www.nexwell.eu
1. The rst step is to add a new device, in this case Fox LED, assign an unique
name, and set the idencal address, which was set during the connecon
process.
Screenshot FoxMaker – editor conguraon Fox LED
2. Conguraon of the RGB and LED outputs. To congure the output, you
need to give it an unique name, and select the me from the slope (Rampa)
list.
Screenshot FoxMaker – conguraon of the outputs
3. The complete project can be added to the Fox system.
WARNING
The module Fox LED can congure maximum eight LED or two RGB outputs. Any not con-
gured inputs/outputs are marked in yellow colour – aer their conguraon/usage the
colour disappears.
WARNING
For further details on creang and uploading a project to the Fox system, have a look on
the documents of the FoxMaker. The current version can be downloaded from the produ-
cer’s website: www.nexwell.eu
Slope, Rampa – is the length of the lightening me.
