Use a source of AC power that complies with local building and electrical rules. AC power has to have both overload and short circuit protection. This device falls under protection class I.Therefore the ArcPixel Power-US has to be connected to a mains socket outlet with a protective earthing connection! This device is for professional use only.

Emission of the equipment complies with the standard EN55032 Electromagnetic compatibility of multimedia equipment – Emission Requirements according to class A. 1. Consignes de sécurité importantes Toute personne impliquée dans l'installation et la maintenance de ce produit doit: - Être suffisamment qualifié - Suivre les instructions de ce manuel ATTENTION! Soyez prudent avec vos manipulations.

Connect ArcPixes to the LED outputs of the ArcPixel Power-US (max. 65 ArcPixes per output). The first ArcPix in the ArcPix chain can be connected to the screw terminal board on the ArcPixel Power-US either via connec- tion box or via customized cable length (has to be specified at order). Maximum length between the ArcPixel Power-US and the last ArcPix must not exceed 100 metres.

In case that some ArcPix has been changed, the same address as had original ArcPix is assigned to the new ArcPix by the ArcPixel Power-US. It is very important to save Dots configuration at every change of ArcPixes.(Menu "Dots" -> "Store Config"),...

Every ArcPix line has to be terminated with the termination box ArcPix The Robe Media Server allows to choose two modes of ArcPixes connection: Fixed-wiring mode and Picture mode. For detailed description see the user manual of the Robin Media Server.

4.4. Connecting ArcDots-US / ArcSource Out 4MC Pixel -US/ArcDotFlash-US Connect ArcDots to the LED output of the ArcPixel Power-US ( max. 16 ArcDots per output). Max. number of all LED modules connected to the ArcPixel Power-US is 64 (but 48 ArcDotFlash-US only!). The ArcDots can be interconnected directly or by using T- connectors - see the picture below.
Page 10
Note: If DMX is used for control of the ArcPixel Power-US, the LED outputs 1-3 may be used only. (In this case, one UART from four available UARTs is used for DMX input and remaining three UARTs can be used for LED outputs only. LED output load is the same as in a case of the control by Artnet - max 16 LED mo- dules per LED output, but max.

7.Control menu The control panel situated on the top cover of the ArcPixel Power-US allows fixture addressing and set the driver´s behaviour. Control elements: [ENTER] button- enters menu,confirms adjusted values and leaves menu. [UP] button and[DOWN] button- moves between menu items on the the same level, sets values.

Auto Sort - Conected LED modules are sorted automatically by the following rule: ArcPix modules are sorted according to their IDs. ArcDot modules are sorted according to their distances from the ArcPixel Power-US (the active terminator for the ArcDot has to be connected to the last ArcDot at each LED output of the ArcPixel Power-US).

7.6 Stand-alone The ArcPixel Power is not connected to the Robe Media Server but can execute pre-set programs (sequences). Play On Start - This function allows you to select a program which will be played after switching the fixture on.
Page 19
Reset Password - using this function you can reset current password into default password: admin. 8. Software update The Ethernet input (RJ45) also serves for software update of the fixture by means of the ROBE RDM Uploader software. For more details about the ROBE RDM Uploader, please visit https://www.robe.cz/robe-uploader/.
