6 - CONNECTION TO THE MAINS SUPPLY
Each cabinet has an IN and OUT power connection (powercon true or powercon). It’s possible to con-
nect in chain many cabinets. To design the power cabling, it’s necessary to know the max power con-
sumption for each panel. It’s possible to see this info in the specications of the product
Examples:
Fig. 16
WARNING: For protection from electric shock, the panel must be earthed!
The product is equipped with auto-switching power supply that automatically adjusts to any 50-60Hz
AC power source from 110-230 Volts.
If you need to install a power plug on the power cable to allow connection to power outlets, install a
grounding-type (earthed) plug, following the plug manufacturer’s instructions. If you have any doubts
about proper installation, consult a qualied electrician.
The maximum power consumption of single panel is 120W.

8 - DATA CONNECTION
DATA CABLING
Each cabinet has an IN and OUT data connection (RJ45). Each data output of a Novastar processor,
can manage a max of 650.000 pixels. To design the cabling of data, it’s necessary to know the
resolution of each cabinet.
Examples:
Fig. 17
NOTE: it’s suggested to distribute the signal as evenly as possible between the various signal lines.
NOTE: it’s necessary to complete a row or a column with a data chain. It’s not possible to connect half
of a row or a column on a data chain.
MAIN AND BACKUP DATA LINE
For all Prolights led screen cabinet it’s possible to install a MAIN data line and a BACKUP data line. This
allows to see image on led screen in case of MAIN failure. MAIN and BACKUP need to be assigned
from the PC software to the outputs of the processor.
MAIN data cable comes from the output of the processor to the last cabinet of the chain.
BACKUP data cable come from the output of the last cabinet of the chain to the output of the proces-
sor.

9 - MAINTENANCE
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING THE PRODUCT
WARNING: Disconnect from the mains before starting any maintenance work.
It is recommended to clean the front at regular intervals, from impurities caused by dust, smoke, or
other particles to ensure that the light is radiated at maximum brightness.
• For cleaning, disconnect the main plug from the socket. It is recommended that you should use
a soft antistatic brush to clear dust on the screen surface monthly in order to achieve an optimum
displaying effect. Never use a liquid, it might penetrate the unit and cause damage to it.
• The user must clean the product periodically to maintain optimum performance and cooling. The
user may also upload rmware (product software) to the xture via the DATA signal input port using
rmware and instructions from PROLIGHTS.
• The frequency of such maintenance operations is to be performed according to various factors, such
as the amount of the use and the condition of the installation environment (air humidity, presence
of dust, salinity, etc.). It is recommended that the product is subject to annual service by a qualied
technician for special maintenance involving at least the following procedures:
• General cleaning of internal parts.
• General visual check of the internal components, cabling, mechanical parts, etc.
• Electrical and functional checks; eventual repairs.
WARNING: the use of alcohol or any other detergent or liquid could damage the product.
• All other service operations on the product must be carried out by PROLIGHTS, its approved service
agents or trained and qualied personnel.
• It is PROLIGHTS policy to apply the strictest possible calibration procedures and use the best quality
materials available to ensure optimum performance and the longest possible component lifetimes.
However, optical components are subject to wear and tear over the life of the product, resulting
in gradual changes in colours over many thousands of hours of use. The extent of wear and tear
depends heavily on operating conditions and environment, so it is impossible to specify precisely
whether and to what extent performance will be affected.
• Use only accessories approved by PROLIGHTS.
