PROTECTION FROM INJURY • Read carefully the chapter “Physical installation” on page 12 and respect the limits and instructions given in that chapter.
  • Page 9 • In all installations where fixtures may be exposed to temperature variation of +/- 5° C (+/- 9° F) or more, allow as described in this manual a 10 mm gap between fixtures to allow for thermal expansion. This requirement applies in all indoor locations that are not maintained at constant temperature and in all outdoor locations.

    Physical installation Warning! Read “Safety information” on page 5 before installing the Exterior PixLine and read all of this ‘Physical installation’ chapter before starting work. Warning! Thermal expansion can create a safety hazard and cause damage if fixtures are installed end-to-end without a gap between them and exposed to temperature variations of +/- 5°...
  • Page 13 Exterior PixLine 10 fixtures with an end-to-end gap of approximately10 mm between them. This means that there will be a one-pixel gap between Exterior PixLine 10 fixtures. • In indoor locations that remain at constant temperature, you can install fixtures with no end-to-end gap between them.

  • Page 14: Installing Using Mounting Profile

    Installing using mounting profile To simplify installation on a surface, you can install Exterior PixLine mounting profiles on the surface and then fasten fixtures into the profiles. The profiles are deep enough to conceal a total of three cable runs. See Figure 3.
  • Page 15 6. See Figure 4. Prepare one mounting profile lock C per 310/320 mm fixture or minimum three mounting profile locks per 1270/1280 mm fixture. Apply a small quantity of Loctite 243 to the threads of the lock bolts D. Place each lock C in position so that it engages with the grooves in the profile as shown at E and tighten the bolt D finger-tight only.

    5. Connect each chain of Exterior PixLine fixtures to one of the four 4-pin female XLR hybrid (48 VDC power + P3 data) outputs on a P3 PowerPort 1500™ using a Martin™ hybrid 4-pin male XLR to BBD adapter cable, P/N 91616046 (see Figure 6). Alternatively, connect each chain of Exterior PixLine fixtures to one of the 4 outputs on a P3 PowerPort 1000 IP™.
  • Page 18 8. It is possible to connect P3 PowerPort devices in daisy-chains in a P3 network, but if you are using multiple P3 PowerPorts in a fixed installation we recommend that you distribute the P3 signal by connecting an unmanaged Gigabit Ethernet switch to the P3 System Controller and then connecting each P3 PowerPort directly to the switch.
