2 Safety instructions
This device is intended for use as a lighting eect in combination with a Pixel-Rail-Drive 640
MKII controller (item no. 449740). Use the device only as described in this user manual. Any
other use or use under other operating conditions is considered to be improper and may result
in personal injury or property damage. No liability will be assumed for damages resulting from
improper use.
This device may be used only by persons with sucient physical, sensorial, and intellectual
abilities and having corresponding knowledge and experience. Other persons may use this
device only if they are supervised or instructed by a person who is responsible for their safety.
Extend the operating life of the device by regular breaks and by avoiding frequent
switching on and o. The device is not suitable for continuous operation.
Safety

DANGER!
Danger to life due to electric current!
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 when covers, safety equipment or optical components are missing or damaged.
NOTICE!
Risk of re due to covered vents and neighbouring heat sources!
If the vents of the device are covered or the device is operated in the immediate vicinity of other heat sources, the device can over‐
heat and burst into ames. Never cover the device or the vents. Do not install the device in the immediate vicinity of other heat
sources. Never operate the device in the immediate vicinity of naked ames.
NOTICE!
Damage to the device if operated in unsuitable ambient conditions!
The device can be damaged if it is operated in unsuitable ambient conditions. Only operate the device indoors within the ambient
conditions specied in the “Technical specications” chapter of this user manual. Avoid operating it in environments with direct sun‐
light, heavy dirt and strong vibrations. Avoid operating it in environments with strong temperature uctuations. If temperature uc‐
tuations cannot be avoided (for example after transport in low outside temperatures), do not switch on the device immediately.
Never subject the device to liquids or moisture. Never move the device to another location while it is in operation. In environments
with increased dirt levels (for example due to dust, smoke, nicotine or mist): Have the device cleaned by qualied specialists at reg‐
ular intervals to prevent damage due to overheating and other malfunctions.
NOTICE!
Damage to the device due to use with other, incompatible devices!
Using the device with other incompatible devices may damage the device. Use the device only with 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 from falling devices that were inadequately secured!
If devices are not properly secured during assembly, they can cause severe injury
and considerable damage by falling.
When installing and operating, make sure to follow the standards and regulations
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 and re due to inadequate distance and bad ventilation!
If the distance between the light source and the illuminated surface is too short or
the device is badly ventilated, the device can overheat and cause res.
Make sure that illuminated surfaces are more than 2 m away.
Do not operate the device in ambient temperatures above 40 °C.
Always ensure sucient ventilation at the operating location.
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.

LED Strip

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.
