ArcPix-US
ArcPix is a multi-purpose, high-intensity RGB LED node for generating a wide variety of e󰀨ects without
the limitations associated with a solid xture unit. The exibility of ArcPix allows the user to create patterns
and video on almost any surface, either interior or exterior
1. Attention
Do not install the module near high inammable liquids or materials
Do not allow anything to rest on the module
Do not install the module near the naked ames
Do not install the module in dirty,dusty or badly ventilated location
Avoid using the unit in locations subject to possible impacts.
Avoid looking directly into the LED light beam at close range.
Warning: Operation of this equipment in a residential environment could cause
radio interference.
Resistance of the equipment is designed for electromagnetic environments E1, E2, E3
according to the standard EN55103-2 ed.2 Electromagnetic compatibility. Product family
standard for audio, video, audiovisual and entertainment lighting control apparatus for
professional use. Part 2: Immunity.
The installation company should measure levels of possible interferences above the tested levels
E1,E2,E3 given by this standard (e.g. transmitters in surrounding area) before installing the equipment.
Emission of the equipment complies with the standard EN55032 Electromagnetic compatibility
of multimedia equipment – Emission Requirements according to class A.
2. Mounting
Two holes of diameter of 5.7mm in the ArcPix base serve for mounting on the non-ammable at surface.
It is also possible to use mounting adapter (1) which is fastened on the surface via a screw (2) and the ArcPix
is snapped into the mounting adapter.

2
The ArcPix is produced in a standard pitch of 150mm or 300mm, but it can be customized, but the 150mm pitch
is the minimal pitch with reference to the service works.
1. Fasten the ArcPix modules on the mounting surface. Every ArcPix has an identication label with arrow on
the bottom side. When you make your installation, keep the same orientation of the ArcPix lines to ensure
the same light characteristic of each line.
2. Connect the ArcPix modules to the pover supply.
See the user manuals of the power supplies for detail description.
Max. length betwen the ArcPixel Power-US and the last ArcPix module in a daisy chain of ArcPixes is 100 m.
Max. number of the ArcPix modules connected to the one output of the ArcPixel Power-US is 100.
The pixels order is set at their production and cannot be changed. The rst ArcPix in the daisy chain of ArcPixes
connected to the output 1 of the driver has DMX addresses 1-3 (1-red pixel, 2-green pixel, 3-blue pixel). The
last ArcPix in the daisy chain has to be ended with the termination box.

3
To install the termination box
1. Separate cores in length cca 40mm on the end of the 5-wire at cable (1).
2. Insert the 5-wire at cable (1) through the bushing (2) into the base of the termination box (3) until it touches
the partition (4) in the termination box (3) and align the cores into cutting edges.
3. Put the cover (5) to the base (3) and press both parts (3) and (5) together until both plastic catches (6) snap
into slots (7) in the base of the termination box (3). For pressing use suitable pliers with at jaws.
4. The hole (8) in the housing of the the termination box serves for screwing to the mounting surface.

5. Replacing the ArcPix
In case that some ArcPix in a chain of ArcPixes is faulty, cut it o󰀨 and use the new ArcPix and two connection
boxes to repair faulty pixel in the ArcPix chain.
1. Unscrew the faulty ArcPix and both adjacent ArcPixes.
2. Cut away the faulty ArcPix (carefully check the length of the new ArcPix cable),
3. Separate cores in length cca 40mm on the end of the 5-wire at cable (1).
4. Insert the 5-wire at cable (1) from old and new ArcPix through the bushing (2) into the base of the connection
box (3) until it touches two distance pins (4) in the termination box (3) and align the cores into cutting edges.
Check the position orientation of the new ArcPix before connecting it into connection boxes.
Point of orientation is the row of pins on the ArcPix´s PCB:
To keep the same light characteristic of
the new ArcPix as the rest of ArcPixes,
the position of the row of pins has to corre-
sponds with the pin position on adjacent
ArcPix (es).

5. Repeat step 4 for the second end of the ArcPix cable.
6. Put the cover (5) to the base (3) and press both parts (3) and (5) together until four plastic catches (6) snap
into slots (7) in the base of the termination box (3). For pressing use suitable pliers with at jaws. Press on two
pressing points as shown on photos below.
7. Screw ArcPixes back to the surface.
Row of pins has to be on the same side
