4.1. DMX Input (RJ45)

The DIN Pixie features two RJ45 ports for DMX input. These ports are compliant with ANSI E1.27-2.

4.2. SPI Output (3 Pin Phoenix)

The unit provides two 3-pin Phoenix connectors for SPI output. These outputs deliver power and data to your LED pixels. Ensure the VCC limit of 5-48VDC is respected.

• 0 وی: Ground connection for the pixel strip.
• ڈیٹا: Data signal for the pixel strip.
• VCC: والیومtage supply for the pixel strip (5-48VDC).

4.3. USB 2.0 Type-B Input

A robust USB Type-B connector is provided for configuration and firmware updates. It is also backward compatible with the Enttec Pixie Driver API for USB-SPI control.

5. سیٹ اپ اور انسٹالیشن

5.1 چڑھنا

The DIN Pixie is designed for DIN-rail mounting. Use the included DIN Mounting Bracket to secure the unit to a standard DIN rail.

5.2. یونٹ کو طاقت دینا

The DIN Pixie operates on a wide voltage range of 5-48VDC. It can be powered from the same source as your LED pixels via the VCC and 0V terminals on the SPI output connectors. Alternatively, power can be supplied via the USB connection.

5.3. Connecting LED Pixels

Connect your LED pixel strips or dots to the SPI output terminals. Ensure correct polarity (0V, DATA, VCC) and that the voltage supplied matches the requirements of your pixel strips and is within the 5-48VDC limit of the DIN Pixie.

The DIN Pixie supports RGB and RGBW pixel strips and dots.

5.4. DMX Input Connection

Connect your DMX source to the RJ45 DMX input ports. The unit can receive DMX512-A data.

5.5. ترتیب

The DIN Pixie is configurable and updatable via USB using Enttec's free PRO-MANAGER software. This software allows you to:

• Configure DMX starting address.
• Set pixel grouping functions to optimize channel usage.
• Select between control modes.
• Test output sequences (no external data source required).
• فرم ویئر کو اپ ڈیٹ کریں۔

6۔ آپریٹنگ موڈ

The DIN Pixie supports various operating modes, indicated by the status LED:

• آن: Overheating/Error
• 0.5Hz: بیکار
• 2Hz: Standalone playback
• 8Hz: DMX وصول کرنا
• 25Hz: Receiving from USB

6.1. DMX کنٹرول موڈ

When receiving DMX data, the DIN Pixie converts up to 2 DMX universes (1024 channels) into SPI pixel protocols. The DMX starting address and pixel grouping can be configured via PRO-MANAGER.

The unit can be configured to play a show on DMX loss or blackout output, providing a fail-safe mechanism.

6.2. Standalone Playback Mode

The DIN Pixie has inbuilt flash memory for standalone show playback (4000 frames, approximately 100 seconds). Shows can be recorded and uploaded using PRO-MANAGER. Standalone playback can include sequence advance control options such as play count, loop delay, and play on power up.

6.3. USB Control Mode

The DIN Pixie can be controlled directly via the USB Type-B connector using the Enttec Pixie Driver API. This allows for direct control from a computer or compatible device.

7 دیکھ بھال

The Enttec DIN Pixie is designed for reliable operation and requires minimal maintenance.

• صفائی: یونٹ کے بیرونی حصے کو صاف کرنے کے لیے نرم، خشک کپڑا استعمال کریں۔ مائع کلینر یا سالوینٹس استعمال نہ کریں۔
• فرم ویئر اپ ڈیٹس: Periodically check the Enttec website for firmware updates. Keeping the firmware current ensures optimal performance and access to new features. Firmware updates are performed using the PRO-MANAGER software.

8 خرابیوں کا سراغ لگانا

If you encounter issues with your DIN Pixie, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

• No Power/LED Indicators Off:
  • Check power connections to the VCC/0V terminals or USB port.
  • بجلی کی فراہمی والیوم کو یقینی بنائیںtage is within the 5-48VDC range.
  • تصدیق کریں کہ طاقت کا منبع فعال ہے۔
• No Pixel Output:
  • Confirm correct wiring of 0V, DATA, and VCC to the pixel strips.
  • Check if the DMX source is active and sending data (status LED should be 8Hz).
  • Verify pixel protocol and DMX starting address settings in PRO-MANAGER.
  • Ensure the pixel strips themselves are functional.
• DMX Input Not Detected (LED 8Hz not flashing):
  • Check DMX cable connections.
  • Ensure the DMX source is transmitting.
  • Confirm the DMX source is using USITT DMX512-A protocol.
• PRO-MANAGER Connection Issues:
  • یقینی بنائیں کہ USB کیبل محفوظ طریقے سے منسلک ہے۔
  • Install the correct FTDI drivers for your operating system. Refer to the Enttec website for driver information.
  • Restart PRO-MANAGER and reconnect the USB cable.
• Overheating/Error (LED ON):
  • یونٹ کے ارد گرد مناسب وینٹیلیشن کی جانچ پڑتال کریں.
  • Ensure the ambient temperature is within the operating range (0°C to 50°C).
  • Reduce the load on the SPI outputs if possible.
