2. Safety Information
Safety Information
3 Electrical S. pecifications
The exposed PCB design of this product results in a major reduction in its foot print. With a slim and narrow design, this
configuration is intended to be used in applications that would benefit from this feature. Some examples of applications
include: fixture integration, custom control enclosures, and others. The exposed design comes with few precautions to
take notice of.
The P ™ PCB is a non-waterproof device with an IP 20 rating. Keep the unit dry at all times and away from liquids
ILOTINO
and humid environments. Make all connections to the LEDs and driver prior to powering on the circuit. All lead voltage
connections to the drivers must be performed by a licensed electrician. Do not touch any of the surfaces of the device
once the unit is powered on. Ensure that all connections are secure and eliminate all possibilities of shorting the unit.
Use the proper wire gauge for the wire to board connections and wiring blocks. We recommend using 12awg stranded
wire for the power input, and 18awg for the output connections that connect to the LEDs. Do not mount the unit where
vibrations or shock are present. Be sure that the thermal pad is attached to the back of the unit at all times.

6 Installation.
Thermal Pad
The thermal pad that dissipates heat from the components of the device must always be used. This thermal pad is
included with each P ™ PCB
ILOTINO and comes installed from factory. Proper ventilation should be present within the
enclosure in which the unit is installed.
Standoffs
Six 2.5M x 5mm standoffs should be used to properly mount the unit onto a smooth and level surface. It is
recommended that the included factory 2.5M standoffs be used. To fasten the P ™ PCB onto a surface, first
ILOTINO
tighten the four central screws in a crisscross pattern. Once the central screws are torque down to ¼ turn past
hand tight, do the same for the remaining 2 screws. Always tighten the screw opposite to the last screw that was
torque down. Do not over tighten the screws as doing so will result in damage to the device.
Clearance
Due to the exposed contact points on the P ™ PCB, the risk of shorting the unit should be considered. A
ILOTINO
minimum of 10mm of clearance space is recommended. Never install the P ™ PCB within an enclosed space in
ILOTINO
which the P ™ PCB does not have sufficient space away from other components.
ILOTINO
Connections
The P ™ PCB comes equipped with wire to board connectors, and a socket connector for the connectivity
ILOTINO
expansion modules. All wire connections should fit securely into the connectors; therefore, we recommend to used solid
wire when installing LED strips and power cable wires. Be sure to insert each wire into the connectors deep enough so
that no bare wire is exposed. A good rule of thumb is to strip the wires so that only about 3mm of insulation is removed.
Always use both output terminals for the COMM V+ connection (See section 4, “Onboard Features” for more details).
The P ™ PCB can be connected in a daisy chain format for the distribution of DMX signal. Never daisy chain more
ILOTINO
than 30 P ™ PCB in a single line. For larger projects, make use of DMX splitters to distribute the DMX data.
ILOTINO
Settings
All of the advanced settings in the P ™ are meant to be accessed through RDM connectivity only. Any setting
ILOTINO
beyond the DMX addressing can only be edited through the use of an RDM controller or software. The P ™ is
ILOTINO
equipped with the latest version of RDM and is compatible with any controller, board, or software capable of RDM.

7. DMX Addressing
DMX Addressing
The P ™ PCB can be addressed by setting the onboard DIP switches in the following way:
ILOTINO
(Be sure to perform all connections prior to turning on the power supply.)
1. Connect the input power from the power supply
2. Connect the LEDs to the output wire to board connectors
3. Connect the DMX input to the connectors or achieve a wireless connection with the CRMX module
4. Switch ON the power supply
5. The green indicator LED will turn on steady
6. Set the desired address by following the binary value expressed by the DIP switch positions
7. DIP 1-9 Set DMX address: “Base 1” numbering is adopted with DMX channel 1= Code 1
DMX Channel 512=Unavailable
8. The green indicator LED will now flash steadily if the DMX signal is present
* To select DMX address with RDM compatible software , switch ON the DIP switch 10 and use the “DMX Start
Address” menu.

8. RDM and Available PIDs
What is RDM?
RDM, or Remote Device Management, is a standardized bi-directional communication protocol used for managing,
monitoring, and configuring lighting fixtures and other equipment that come equipped with RDM capability. This
protocol is an enhancement of the USITT DMX512 protocol that is commonly used for configuring a wide array of
lighting fixtures and other equipment.
Pilotino™ and RMD
The Pilotino™ comes equipped with full RDM capability and is compatible with any kind of RDM software, board, or
controller. All of the advanced settings that the Pilotino™ is capable of can only be edited through an RDM device. The
only setting that does not require an RDM device is the DMX addressing. This can be done through the onboard DIP
switches (More information on addressing the Pilotino™ is available on page 9).
What are PIDs?
A PID within the RDM context is a certain parameter or setting that is available through the RDM protocol for
configuring a fixture or a piece of equipment. Each PID can “Get” or “Set” information for configuring an RDM capable
device.
