INTRODUCTION1.

General1.1

64PXL Board RGB features 64 ultra bright RGB SMD LEDs on a 8 x 8matrix with a

31.25mm/1.23” pitch. Although the LEDs provide ultra brightness, high resolution videos

and graphic replays can be created by combining multiple boards. The 64PXL Board is DMX

compatible which allows daisy chaining with the Traxon TX Connect™ system. On-board

SMART CHIP™ technology with the powerful feature of auto-addressing enables easy setup

and installation.

INSTALLATION2.

Points To Consider2.1

Plan your installation before mounting the String. The following should be considered for a

successful installation.

Installation distances and appropriate cable lengths. Please consult your local Traxon™

office or authorized agent for necessary aid.

The number of 64PXL Board RGBs and appropriate LED Engines.

Any DMX512 controllers to be used with the products.

On-Site Installation2.2

ALWAYS keep the cables protected from sharp objects and ensure no

damage is generated on the cables.

Failure to keep the product within the operating temperature range of 0°C

to 50°C (+32°F to +122°F) and storage temperature range of −20°C to

+70°C (–4°F to +158°F) will void the product’s warranty.

Mounting2.2.1

To mount the board, first fit the nylon spacers into the mounting holes from the rear of 1.

the board. Then use the screws to firmly fasten the board to a flat surface. Careful not to

over-tighten the screws, see below diagram.

SAFETY AND OPERATION3. CAUTION - Unplug the power supply from the mains power before connecting any cables

as this can damage the products.

CAUTION - Avoid looking directly into the LED light source at close range for your own

safety.

Persons installing this products should make sure:

The installation complies with all applicable codes, state and local laws, 1.

ordinances, standards and safety regulations.

The installation environment is carefully studied and suitable surge protection 2.

measure(s) is taken.

He or she is qualified for the handling of electrical equipment.3.

Do not attempt to install or use the product until installation instructions and safety labels

are fully understood. This product is designed for indoor use only.

Ensure product operates within the specified temperature range. (Refer to 6. TECHNICAL

SPECIFICATION for more details.)

Do not attempt to open the product. Not user serviceable.

Do not use the product if any part of it, or the power cables are damaged.

Only use product for specified voltage, do not exceed. (Refer to 6. TECHNICAL

SPECIFICATION for more details.)

If the product has been subjected to drastic temperature variances, for example, following

transportation, do not connect the fixture until it has reached room temperature, as

moisture condensation may cause electric shock and product damages.

When installing the products and system power supplies, please ensure they will not be

exposed to moisture and extreme heat. Besides, keep a clean operating environment for

the fixtures and system power supplies.

Please study this Installation Guide thoroughly and check the latest Technical Specification

Sheets available from the Traxon website www.traxontechnologies.com before setup.

Any non-compliance of the Installation Guide will void the Traxon warranty.

SYSTEM CONFIGURATION4.

TYPICAL CONNECTION COMPONENTS4.1

TX Connect System is a interconnection system that combines power and DMX data on

a single connector cables so that only one connection is required between light fixutres.

The Board uses TX Connect System for all interconnections. Below diagram shows some

Connection between Fixtures4.2

Use the TX Connect Smart Interconnection Cable to connect between boards. Use the

pre-installed cables to connect between modules. For longer distances, use existing cable

together with a TX Connect Smart Extension Cable.

LED Control4.3

The LEDs on the 64PXL board RGB are controlled by DMX. The LED location on the Board

and its DMX channel is shown in above diagram and in the following table.

Where: n is the Board position in the chain.

x is the LED horizontal position on the Board.

y is the LED vertical position on the Board.

DMX Channel Number

Power On: 64PXL Board RGB has an approximately one second initialization period after

power-on. During this period, the LEDs on the board may light up randomly. This is normal

behavior of the board.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE5.

Traxon™ products are of superior design and quality and should be treated with care. The

recommendations below will help fulfill any warranty obligations and gain good use and

longevity from the products.

Do not attempt or use the product(s) until you read and understand the installation

instructions. Failure to adhere to these instructions could result in serious injury or property

damage.

Do not use product(s) if cables are damaged.

Do not connect cables and connectors when wet or in wet area. Moisture on bare

connectors can cause electric shock and damage to product(s).

Do not use product(s) in extreme heat environment. Ensure there is sufficient airflow and

use cool air circulation if required.

Do not drop, knock, or shake product(s). Rough handling can damage the electronics and

void the warranty.

Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean products.

Wipe with a damp cloth on housings and a dry cloth on electronics to remove dirt or dust.

Do not use product(s) outdoors.

Do not attempt to service or repair the product(s) unless done by an authorized service

personnel. Contact your local Traxon office or distributor for details.

If the product is not working as specified, please contact your nearest authorized service

center or Traxon Technologies office for assistance.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION6.

64PXL Board RGB

Color Range 16.7 Million additive RGB colors with variable intensity

Light Source 64 Ultra Bright SMD LED

Beam Angle 120°

Power Input* 24V DC

Power Consumption 24W max.

Operating Temperature 0°C to +50°C / +32°F to +122°F

Storage Temperature –20°C to 70°C / –4°F to +158°F

*For use with TRAXON LED Engine Smart 100W Indoor (PS.IA.0010000) power unit.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two

conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept

any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

As with all electronic devices, LED output degrades over time - a term called lumen

depreciation. This also explains why it is nearly impossible to expect photometric

performances of two LED products with different service life spans to be the same. The

rate of LED degradation is a complex function of many factors such as operating efficiency,

duration of continuous operation, and operating conditions (e.g. ambient temperature).

Because LEDs are semiconductor devices, their performances are subject to inherent

variability commonly found in semiconductor industry. To improve consistency in performance

across the same product, LED manufacturers “sort” LEDs into bins according to different

preset parameters, such as forward driving voltage, illumination, etc. Whereas binning is a

sorting function, it is not a correction process. Inherent variability in the manufacturing process

always results in different binning distributions according to different production lots. Traxon

uses automatically binned LEDs on its products, thereby minimizing output variations within

the model range.
