3.1 Installation Guidelines
3.1 Installation Guidelines
● Helix P1 pixel strings have an IP66 rating and are suitable for use in most indoor and outdoor installations except where water immersion could
occur. This conforms to the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) standard 60529.
● Helix PXL Node Boxes have an IP65 rating and are suitable for use in most indoor and outdoor installations except where water immersion could
occur. This conforms to the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) standard 60529.
Power Guidelines
DANGER
Risk of electrical shock. No user-serviceable parts inside.
Observe all applicable electrical codes.
The power outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.
Do not hot plug any cables. Damage to the connector pins may occur. Resulting damage is not covered under warranty.
Observe the following power guidelines when setting up your Helix P1 display:
Max current draw of one PXL Node with four (4) P1 pixels strings is 0.5A @ 200-240VAC 50/60Hz.
Maximum # of PXL Nodes per PDB
-
5 output = 20
Maximum # of PXL Nodes per PDB
-5
*
w/ 1 x 16A input = 32
Maximum # of PXL Nodes per PDB
-5
*
w/ 2 x 16A input = 64
* PDB
-5 has 32A limit (2x 16A).
When running typical video content, the duty cycle (average power consumption) is about 30% of maximum.
Temperature
Helix installations must take into account the operating temperature of the PXL Nodes. The ambient operating temperature for a PXL Node is
-
20°C to 45°C.
NOTE
Helix PXL Nodes have an internal temperature sensor that shuts down the output (brightness is set to 0) when internal temperature is too high. The
brightness will return to normal when the internal temperature has cooled sufficiently.
