Product Description
Thank you for choosing this LDDE Nano*Pix 1440 HP / 2880 HP fixture. The Nano*Pix LED - Softlight
battens present a milestone in the area of modern lighting for stage, events and studio use. The
revolutionary LED-Softlight technology is the ideal solution to substitute conventional battens using RGBW
fluorescent tubes. The linear design integrates high performing LEDs in red, green, blue, warm white and
cool white. The packing density of 1440 (or 2880) LED's facilitates an extremely even distribution of light at
an emission angle of 150° and countless colour combinations add to the impressive performance features.

Installation using mounting bracket
 The Nano*Pix 1440 HP / 2880 HP is fitted as standard with two mounting brackets on the back of the housing. These
can be positioned along any point of the profile and offer maximum flexibility.
 The mounting brackets come pre-drilled with a 11mm hole to receive a DIN 16 spigot or a stage lighting hook.
Alternatively, floor stands (not included in the delivery) can be mounted on the brackets.
For even more flexibility, we recommend the optional quick release fastener system "Slide" to facilitate frequent changes
from floor-based to overhead operation. See figures 1-3
Figure 1 Figure 2 Figure 3
 Secure the Nano*Pix 1440 HP / 2880 HP fixture with a safety cable, using the eyelet provided.

Rev 7/2014 V4.4 | Specifications subject to change without notice. Seite 7
Wiring
The Nano*Pix 1440 HP / 2880 HP battens are supplied with data and power by an 8pin Multicore-Connector.
This connector system is compatible with the following products:
- Nano*Pix 1620/3240 RGB+WW+KW
- SpectraConnecT5 and SpectraConnecT5LED
- SpectraLED72 and SpectraLED144
This offers the possibility to use cables that you may alreadyhave in stock with the Nano*Pix 1440 HP / 2880 HP
fixtures. Different fixtures can be connected using the samecabling system.
Please note that a maximum 10 Nano*Pix 1440 HP or 5 Nano*Pix 2880 HP fixtures can be serially
connected using one power supply cable.
Initial Start-up
Attach a stage lighting hook or a mounting clamp to the mounting bracket and suspend the Nano*Pix batten from a
pipe or truss. Tighten the hook or clamp only when you have determined the fixture's final position.
Connect the output multicore cable of one batten to the input connection on another batten. Once this connection
has been made, you can position the battens in the required locations.
Tighten the hook or clamp securely and attach a safety cable, using the eyelet on the batten, to the pipe or truss.
Connect the power supply cable to the first batten. This comes with an earth contact plug and a 5 pin XLR
connector. Plug the power connector into a live circuit and the XLR connector into a DMX output socket.
ENSURE THAT THE BATTENS ARE NEVER CONNECTED TO A DIMMABLE POWER CIRCUIT!!!
Once the Nano*Pix batten is supplied with power, the integrated OLED Display will be illuminated. Calibrate the
system, using the control panel at the back of the fixture. We recommend configuring your fixtures before mounting
them in the rig. The different modes of configuration are explained in detail on the following pages of this manual.

Nano*Pix 1440 HP: The cooling fans operate at 100% from temperatures of 40° C
and more and are deactivated for temperatures below 35° C. When temperatures
reach 56° C and above, the master is reduced by a DMX value of 4 per degree of
temperature. Maximum reduction is 96.
Nano*Pix 2880 HP: The cooling fans engage from temperatures of 50° C and above
with the lowest fan stage and are then controlled per degree of temperature. Maximum
fan capacity is reached at temperature of 75° C.
When temperatures reach 56° C and above, the master is reduced by a DMX value of
