Safety information

The TLD-612A is intended for professional use only. It is not suitable for household use.

Review the following safety precautions carefully before installing or operating the device.

Preventing electric shock

• Do not open the device; there are no user-serviceable parts inside.

• Ensure that power is cut off when wiring the device to the AC mains supply.

• Ensure that the device is electrically connected to earth (ground).

• Do not apply power if the device is in any way damaged.

• Do not immerse the ¿xture in water or liquid.

• Use only a source of AC power that complies with local building and electrical codes and has both overload and

earth leakage protection.

• 1ever attempt to bypass the fuse. Always have defective fuses replaced with ones of the speci¿ed type and rating.

• Verify that the power feed cable is rated for the total current draw of all daisy-chained products.

DANGER! Risk of electric shock. Do not open the device.

WARNING! Read the safety precautions in this section before

installing, powering or operating this product.

• Install only in a well-ventilated space.

• Do not paint, cover, or modify the device.

• Take precautions to prevent injury due to falls when working at height.

• Ensure that the device is always securely fastened with suitable hardware.

• )or elevated installations, always comply with relevant load dimensioning and safety standards and

requirements.

WARNING! Take measures to prevent personal injury.

Overview

The TLD-612A is an Artnet pixel driver that can be used to drive six SGM LT-100s, six SGM LT-200 or six strings of SGM

LED Ball pixel luminaries (each string can contain up to 56 led balls), or any combination of the three product types. Up

to ¿ve TLD-612As can be con¿gured and controlled when daisy-chained together and connected to a computer using

an Ethernet cable, and up to ¿ve TLD-612A¶s per port can be daisy-chained when one or more Ethernet switches are

used. TLD-612As can be con¿gured using the SGM Artnet Con¿gurator (available from httpwww.sgmlight.com) and

controlled using a lighting controller or computer-based Artnet controller.

Unpack the device and inspect it to ensure that it has not been damaged in transport. The ¿xture is I3-65 rated. This

means that it is protected from ingress of dust and lower pressure jets of water from any direction.

Cabling and connections

The following connectors are used on the TLD-612A

• I367-rated R-45 Ethernet connectors, for artnet input and output.

• 3 lead power cable for power input and output with CEE cord caps.

• 6 x R-765 output connectors supply 12V DC power and data to the LED products.

Rigging the TLD-612A

The TLD-612A may be installed in any orientation.

Before installing TLD-612As at elevation, ensure that the

• Attachment hardware is in good condition and designed to support at least 10 times the ¿xture¶s weight.

• Structure can support at least 10 times the weight of all installed ¿xtures.

• Work area below is blocked from public access and make sure the work is performed from a stable platform.

When using more than one TLD-612A to create an LED curtain, ensure that the TLD-612As are installed so that the

correct pixel pitch can be achieved.

To rig a TLD-612A

1. Loosen the mounting brackets and slide the brackets to the

desired length (no less than 160 mm and no more than 500 mm

apart)

2. Turn the thumb screws fully clockwise until the bracket is locked

in place.

3. When using more than one TLD-612A to form a wider LED curtain,

WARNING! Always secure an elevated TLD-612A with a safety cable as backup

Min. 160 mmMax. 500 mm

the ¿xtures need to be spaced 6 mm apart to obtain the correct

12 cm pixel pitch.

4. Connect and arrange the power and data cables.

5. )asten the TLD-612A securely to a ¿xed surface or structure,

ensuring that the supporting structure andor hardware used

can hold at least 10 times the weight of all the devices they

support, as well as all installed accessories.

6. If suspended from a rigging structure, fasten the TLD-612A

to a rigging clamp with an M10 bolt using the top hole in the

mounting bracket.

7. Complete the rigging procedure by securing the TLD-612A

with a safety wire using the hole in the mounting bracket.

This safety wire must be approved by

an of¿cial body such as ThV as a safety

attachment for the weight that it supports.

The safety wire must be capable of

supporting a static suspended load that is

ten times the weight of the ¿xture.

Connecting AC power

The TLD-612A can operate on any 100±240 V, 5060 +] AC mains power supply.

3re-mounted CEE connectors are for protection only and should be replaced with a connector that meets local

standards. )or temporary installations, install a grounding-type (earthed) industrial 3-pronged type B plug that

complies with IEC 60309 or a comparable national standard and is rated 16 A minimum, and use corresponding power

outlet sockets. )ollow the connector manufacturer¶s instructions and all locally applicable laws and electrical safety

codes. )or permanent installations, have a quali¿ed electrician hard-wire the TLD-612A to the AC mains supply

The device must be groundedearthed and be able to be isolated from AC power. The AC power supply must

incorporate a fuse or circuit breaker for fault protection.

Daisy-chain power to other TLD-612As

When daisy-chaining TLD-612As using the cables that are pre-installed in the TLD-612A

• @ 230VAC, 13A, up to 8 TLD-612As can be daisy-chained.

• @ 115VAC, 13A, up to 4 TLD-612As can be daisy-chained.

Connecting LED pixels

The TLD-612A can drive six SGM LT-100s, six SGM LT-200 or six strings of SGM LED Ball pixel luminaries (each

string can contain up to 56 led balls), or any combination of the three product types. These can be attached in any

arrangement to the six output connectors on the TLD-612A. The six LED pixel connectors on the TLD-612A are not

designed to bear loads. Always ensure that any attached LT-100s, LT-200s and LED Balls are supported by other

means than attachment to an TLD-612A connector.

Con¿guring the device using an Android telephone via R)ID

As an alternative to connecting the device to power and using the 6G0Artnet &on¿gurator, one or more TLD-

612A devices can also be con¿gured wirelessly, via R)ID, using the SGM Tool app (available from the Google

3lay Store) installed on an Android smart phone that has 1)C support (ISO 15693 and ISO 18000-3 mode 1

compatible, operating on 13.56 M+] 7k +] carrier frequency).

Service

There are no user-serviceable components inside the device. Do not open the TLD-612A, as doing so is likely to

damage its ingress protection. Consult your SGM dealer if the device operates abnormally, is defective or otherwise

in need of service or repair.

8pgraGing the ¿rPware

We recommend that you to keep your device¶s ¿rmware current. Visit httpwww.sgmlight.com to obtain the most up-

to-date ¿rmware. To perform ¿rmware updates, you need an SGM USB uploader cable (31 83062011), a Windows-

based personal computer and the SGM Artnet Con¿gurator (available from httpwww.sgmlight.com).
