2 - Introduction

This is the user manual for the PixLite T8-S Mk2 pixel controller, hardware version 1.0.

The PixLite T8-S Mk2 controllers convert E1.31 (sACN) or Art-Net protocols from a

lighting console, media server or computer lighting software into various pixel

LEDprotocols.

This controller is designed to overcome distance problems typically encountered

when running many pixels from a single location. The PixLite T8- S Mk2 sends

differential data signals directly out of the controller which can be transmitted

reliably using any standard network cable at distances in excess of 300m (1000’). At

the receiver end, the differential signals are then converted back to signals suitable

for pixels. This system allows the user to distribute a large number of pixels from a

centralized pixel controller easily, without needing to worry about the typical signal

degradation problems.

The PixLite T8- S Mk2 features an output capacity of up to 96 universes of

multicast/unicast E1.31 or Art-Net data. This combined with an advanced feature-set

and easy-to-use configuration software make the PixLite T8-S Mk2 an excellent

choice for your pixel lighting application.

This manual covers physical aspects of the PixLite T8- S Mk2 controller and its

essential setup steps only. Detailed information about its configuration options can

be found in the ‘PixLite Configuration Guide’. Separate user manuals are available for

the receiver units. Other manuals and the PixLite Configuration Guide may be

downloaded from here:

3 - Safety Notes

Specification and certification markings are located on the rear of the device.

The device shall be connected to a mains socket outlet with a protective earthing

connection. The plug on the power supply cord is used as the disconnect device, so

the socket-outlet shall be easily accessible.

Power to the device is protected by a 250V 1A glass fuse (F1A L 250V). This fuse should

only be replaced by someone with proper technical knowledge or instruction.

For more information on supplying power, see Section 5.1.

4 - Physical Installation

4.1 - Wall/Ceiling/Universal Mount

Use the optional mounting kit (part number MNT0301) to attach the controller to a wall

or ceiling.

1. Align the two plates in the mounting kit with the mounting holes on the

bottom side of the controller. Ensure the countersunk holes on the mounting

plates are aligned with the controller’s mounting holes.

2. Assemble the mounting plates onto the controller using the screws supplied

with the mounting kit, as shown in Figure 1 below.

Figure 1: Mounting Plates Assembled to Controller

3. Assemble the unit onto the wall / ceiling using four screws of a type suitable

for the mounting surface (not supplied), as shown in Figure 2 below. The

screws should be a pan head type, 4mm in thread diameter and at least

10mm long.

4.2 - Direct Panel Mount

1. Using the following drawing as location guide, drill four holes in your

mounting plate with a 4.5mm size drill, as shown in Figure 3 below.

Figure 3: Drilling Location Guide

2. From the bottom side of the panel, use four M4 machined thread screws to

assemble the controller to the panel, as shown in Figure 4 below. The screws

should be 8mm in length, plus the thickness of the panel.

4.3 - 19” Rack Mount

The controller can be mounted in a 19” equipment rack in either of two configurations,

both taking up a single rack unit (1RU) height.

The first option is to mount a single controller in the middle of a rack slot, as shown in

Figure 5 below. Use optional mounting kit (part number MNT0201) for this

configuration.

The second option is to mount two controllers side by side in a single rack slot, as

shown in Figure 6 below. Use optional mounting kit (part number MNT0202) for this

configuration.
