Take the module out of its plastic bag.
Take the module key (red handle) out of the control box.
Insert the module into the frame insert the module key into the six module
keyholes on each module and turn counterclockwise until tight. There are
3 module keyholes approximately 1.5” from the top and 3 module keyholes
approximately 1.5” from the bottom.
Take out Module cable and wire according to the diagram found on the
website. Do this for all module cables. Make sure cables that are wired
between connected frames use the cable slot as seen in the diagram on the

continuation cable from module 12 to module 13. You can find this cable in the
cord bag with the yellow tag entitled STAX Boost Power Continuation Cable.
IMPORTANT: The maximum amount on one 20A circuit is 24 modules.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
CONTROL BOX
Take the metal controller box out of the Control Box.
Take the “L” mounting brackets, screws, lock washers, and washers and mount the
metal controller box as you would normally.
*You can assemble on any slots.
IMPORTANT: You must use the predrilled holes located around the outside of the
metal controller box. Drilling your own holes, and/or using other screws than
provided could puncture the interior metal housing and WILL VOID ALL NEXT LED
WARRANTIES ON THE CONTROLLER BOX.
Locate the metal controller box key to open the metal controller box.
Open the Cable bag with the red tag labled STAX Controller Cable Kit.
Follow the instructions on the back of the Control Box to attach the STAX
Controller cable to the module on the lower left hand side from as you look at the
back of the sign display (the side that has all the cables not the side with all the
LED lights).
If your configuration involves a two faced sign you will need another Controller
Cable for the second display as per the diagram on the back of the Controller Box.

CONTROL BOX
Each display face requires a controller cable kit consisting of one
primary power cable and one display connection cable.
Each primary power connection is an independent circuit. For
smaller displays, the Master and Primary power connection can
share a circuit. Confirm loads and all electrical details prior to
installation.
Cellular router is included in the control box. Cellular Antenna,
with mounting bracket, is included and ready for installation. Light
Sensor, with mounting bracket, is included and ready for installation.
Lifetime installation support and software training are available
prior to, during, and after the installation of display.
Mounting brackets and screws are included. There are multiple
bracket installation positions available. Not all are required to be
used. Do not puncture or open the control box without approval
from Next LED.
For installations requiring direct Cat5e connections or wireless
point to point antennas, please contact NextLED to confirm parts
and installation method.

After all modules have been assembled, connect the controller to the first module of the display face with the
cable found in the RED labeled cable kit bag. You will use one cable for the master display and one cable for the
slave display.
Connect the controller primary power to a power source with the power cable found in the RED labeled kit bag.
Power-up the primary power source for the controller box. On initial powerup the successful sequence on the
display will appear as:
A- Flash of light D- Logo on every Module
B- Black Screen E- Black Screen
C- Blue Screen
REMOVE THIS LABEL FROM CONTROLLER BOX
Final Configuration and software connection will require a cellular connection and can be completed, by the
installer, on-site if necessary.
Contact NextLED for final configuration and software connection. We will remotely work with your technician
and configure the display in under 10 minutes.
