2 - Introduction This is the user manual for the PixLite R4D-S pixel receiver, hardware version 1.3. The PixLite R4D-S is designed to receive differential long distance signals of 300m (1000') or more over a standard network cable from a PixLite T8 transmitter unit, and convert these input signals back into a pixel-ready signal for output directly to pixels.
This LED pixel receiver should be installed by someone with proper technical knowledge only. Installation of the device and/or replacement of pixel output fuses should not be attempted without such knowledge. Specification and certification markings are located on the of the device. - 4 - www.advateklights.com PixLite R4D-S User Manual V220317...
(not supplied). The screws should be a pan head type, 3mm in thread diameter and at least 15mm long, as shown in Figure 1 below. Figure 1: receiver Assembled to Wall - 5 - www.advateklights.com PixLite R4D-S User Manual V220317...
1. Align the receiver's mounting holes with the outermost mounting holes on each bracket. Using the four supplied M3, 12mm long screws, assemble the receiver to the mounting brackets, as shown in Figure 2 below.

3. To remove the receiver from the DIN rail, pull the receiver horizontally, toward its power connector (1) and rotate the receiver up and off the rail (2), as shown in Figure 4 below. Figure 4: Removal of receiver from DIN Rail - 8 - www.advateklights.com PixLite R4D-S User Manual V220317...
5 - Electrical Connections 5.1 - Supplying Power Power is applied to the PixLite R4D-S via the large lever clamp connector. The levers should be lifted up for wire insertion and then clamped back down, providing a highly robust and secure connection. Ensure the wire’s insulation is stripped back 11-12mm, so that the clamp does not rest on the insulation when closing the connector.

For this reason, the standard network cable you use can be safely used in excess of 300m. Figure 8: Correct equipment to use A typical setup is shown in Figure 9 below, which also shows how many pixels can be run off each output. - 11 - www.advateklights.com PixLite R4D-S User Manual V220317...
4) and on the top of the lid the pin-out is clearly marked. Simply wire your lights into each screw terminal and then plug them into the mating sockets. Since the PixLite R4D-S product has data only outputs (no pixel clock lines), it takes advantage of the transmitter's Expanded Mode. In expanded mode, the clock lines are used as data lines instead.
If the switch is pushed to the right, it is off, and all indicator LEDs and the power LED will always be off. This switch is shown in Figure 12 below. - 13 - www.advateklights.com PixLite R4D-S User Manual V220317...
