DANGER!
Electric shock caused by high voltages inside
Within the device there are areas where high voltages may be present. Never remove any covers. There are no user-serviceable parts
inside. Do not use the device if covers, protectors or optical components are missing or damaged.
NOTICE!
Risk of re
Do not block areas of ventilation. Do not install the device near any direct heat source. Keep the device away from naked ames.
NOTICE!
Operating conditions
This device has been designed for indoor use only. To prevent damage, never expose the device to any liquid or moisture. Avoid
direct sunlight, heavy dirt, and strong vibrations. Only operate the device within the ambient conditions specied in the chapter
‘Technical specications’ of this user manual. Avoid heavy temperature uctuations and do not switch the device on immediately
after it was exposed to temperature uctuations (for example after transport at low outside temperatures). Dust and dirt inside can
damage the unit. When operated in harmful ambient conditions (dust, smoke, nicotine, fog, etc.), the unit should be maintained by
qualied service personnel at regular intervals to prevent overheating and other malfunction.
NOTICE!
Compatible devices
This device may only be operated with the Stairville Pixel Rail Drive 640 MKII (item no. 449740).

3 Features
nPixel eects strip with 40 tri-colour SMD LEDs (RGB)
nControl via Pixel Rail Drive 640 MKII (item no. 449740)
nPower supply via LAN cable (Cat)
nRobust aluminium die-cast housing
For technological reasons, the light output of LEDs decreases over their lifetime. This eect
increases with higher operating temperature. You can extend the service life of the illuminants
by providing adequate ventilation and operating the LEDs with the lowest possible brightness.

4 Installation and starting up
Unpack and check carefully there is no transportation damage before using the unit. Keep the
equipment packaging. To fully protect the product against vibration, dust and moisture during
transportation or storage use the original packaging or your own packaging material suitable
for transport or storage, respectively.
WARNING!
Risk of injury caused by falling objects
Make sure that the installation complies with the standards and rules that apply
in your country. Always secure the device with a secondary safety attachment,
such as a safety cable or a safety chain.
NOTICE!
Risk of overheating
The distance between light output and the illuminated surface must be more
than 1.5 m (19.7in).
Provide sucient ventilation.
The ambient temperature must always be below 40 °C (104 °F).
Installation and starting up

You can install the device in hanging or standing position. When in use, the device must
always be attached to a solid surface or an approved truss. For attaching, use the provided
openings of the bracket.
Always work from a stable platform whenever installing, moving or servicing the device. In
doing so, the area underneath the device must be cordoned o.
Create all connections while the device is o. Use the shortest possible high-quality cables for
all connections. Take care when running the cables to prevent tripping hazards.
Connect the device via a suitable RJ45 data cable (Cat) with the Pixel Rail Drive 640 MKII. A
maximum of four pixel strips may be connected in series to each serial interface of the con‐
troller, thus a maximum of 16 pixels Rail 40 RGB MKII per controller.
Please note that this device must not be connected to a dimmer.
Remove the aluminium plates attached to the sides of the device before connecting the pixel
pails using the fastening elements to the mounting rails.
