1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 General String

The Traxon String system accomplishes complex, unconventional media configurations with intelligence and style. Sophisticated, scalable, and semi-transparent, String systems alter and enhance architectural, retail, and hospitality environments adding unexpected character to classic scenarios. Available in full color (RGB), with or without a diffuser dome, String gracefully incorporates graphics, text, and video into various, irregular surfaces, resulting in unordinary media displays never before possible. String is controllable by DMX512 and e:pix/DVI input signals, and Smart Chip technology and intelligent software allow maximum control of even the most intricate media scenarios. Warm White and Cold White options are also available upon request.

Features:Flexible mounting capabilityLow-to-medium resolution media (graphics, text and video animations)Outdoor rating (IP67 - String, IP66 - Pixel Distributor)Smart Chip technologyAuto-addressing

Mesh

Mesh systems reinvent the large-scale media experience. The sophisticated, scalable, semi-transparent LED system elegantly transforms any surface into a brilliant palette for graphics, text, and video animations in full color (RGB). Meshs semi-transparent, durable yet flexible structure, allows it to adapt to many surfaces in various applications, in both indoor and outdoor environments. Its acrylic grid system can also be mounted back-to-back for dual displays, allowing bright graphics to shine, and natural light to pass through without obstructing a view or diminishing an open-area concept. Mesh is controllable by DMX512 and e:pix/DVI input signals, and Smart Chip technology and intelligent software allow maximum control of even the most intricate media scenarios. Warm White and Cold White options are also available upon request.

5. CARE AND MAINTENANCE

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 attempt to service or repair the product(s) unless done by an authorized service personnel. Contact your local Traxon office or distributor for details.

6. TROUBLESHOOTING

CAUTION: ENSURE POWER SUPPLY IS OFF WHEN DISCONNECTING/CONNECTING CABLES

Problem Cause Possible Solutions

Product does NOT light up after installation

Incorrect power connection Check Mains Power

Check power supply leads and wire connections

Check status lights on Pixel Distributor

Ensure output wires are connected with proper polarity

Shadowing Light source covered Check for cables, wires or unwanted debris covering LED light source

Modules are dim Excess products connected Ensure the power supplies are not overloaded due to an excess of products connected

Flickering Incorrect power input/Excess products connected

Ensure the input voltage is correct

Ensure the power supplies are not overloaded due to an excess of products connected

If problems persist or the product is not working as specified, please contact your nearest authorized service center or Traxon Technologies office for assistance.


7. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION

Light Source: 32 High intensity Nichia SMD LEDs on each string. Total 160 LEDs on 5 strings

Beam Angle: 120

Power Input*: 24V DC

Power Consumption: 88W max. (Pixel Distributor and 5 Strings/Mesh unit)

Weight: 300g (0.66lbs) per string, 4.2kg (9.2lbs) Mesh unit0.9kg (2lbs) Pixel Distributor, 0.3kg (0.66lbs) Mounting wires

Operating Temperature: 20C to 50C (4F to 122F)

Storage Temperature: 40C to 70C (40F to 158F)*For use with TRAXON LED Engine Smart 150W Indoor (PS.IC.0010000), LED Engine Smart 150W Outdoor (PS.OA.0010000) power units.

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.

8. WARRANTY STATEMENTTraxon warrants its Products against material or workmanship defects for a period of three (3) years from date of purchase, provided that the purchased items are used under the conditions stated in this user manual.

Please refer www.traxontechnologies.com for all warranty terms and conditions.
