Page 2: Electrostatic Discharge (Esd) Precautions
Electro-static discharge (ESD) precautions While the Drive Hub system is designed and manufactured to be resilient and reliable, certain items of circuitry are susceptible to damage by electrostatic discharge if handled incorrectly. Drive cards are particularly at risk if incorrectly treated while being inserted or removed from the Micro Pack chassis. -

Page 4: Introduction
Introduction Welcome Thank you for choosing the Micro Pack from the GDS Drive Hub range. Micro Pack is the most compact driver option in the Drive Hub range, giving flexibility to smaller venues or where space is at a premium. Micro Pack summary Micro Pack is a custom designed wall-mount enclosure with a single power rectifier. -
Page 5: Installation
Installation Wall bracket dimensions Each Micro Pack is a fully self-contained unit designed primarily for wall mount applications, although it can also be mounted on a flat surface. A wall bracket is included to allow for easy installation, the Micro Pack will hang directly on its wall bracket, fixed with thumb screws and leaving a small gap behind to allow airflow through the enclosure. -
Page 6: Mounting Location
Mounting location When units are wall mounted it is common to use cable trunking and/or conduit to enter/exit the enclosures. There are five Ø25.5mm knockouts running along the upper and lower surfaces of the base tray. Incoming power must be supplied into the upper surface, while control inputs and fixture outputs must exit from the lower surface. Mounting procedure To wall mount the MicroPack enclosure 1 Ensuring the wall bracket is in the correct orientation, use six suitable fixings to attach the bracket to the wall... -
Page 7: Removing The Front Panels
Removing the front panels To open the enclosure 1 Remove the eight screws fixing both panels to the enclosure 2 Carefully remove the panels, ensuring that the RJ45 link for the display panel is disconnected Note: Isolate mains before removing any panels from the enclosure. The top section contains high voltage, separated from the low voltage section behind the main panel. -

Mounting the enclosure To fix the enclosure to the wall bracket 1 Mount the wall bracket to the wall using six suitable mounting screws 2 Hang the enclosure onto the angled plate of the wall bracket and fix in place using the provided thumb screws. Page 6 www.gds.uk.com... -
Page 9: Intake Filter Cleaning
Intake filter cleaning To minimise particulates entering the enclosure, a filter is located inside the main front panel. At intervals determined by the installation environment, the filter should be regularly removed, washed and replaced. Note: For best practice, where an installation is required to run uninterrupted, keep a stock of spare intake filters so that they can be swapped out immediately (and the old filter washed later) while operation continues without leaving the chassis unprotected. -
Page 10: Drive Card And Power Access
Drive Card and power access Open access to the Drive Cards, Processor Card and power input prior to installation can be achieved by removing the top (power) and bottom (Drive Cards, Processor Card) panels from the enclosure. Once all connections have been made, the correct conduit/cable trunking fixings can be installed and the enclosure can be re-assembled. -
Page 11: Drive Cards
Drive Cards For specific details about each Drive Card, please refer to the dedicated manual for each To insert a Drive Card 1 Isolate the power input to the Micro Pack. 2 Loosen the thumb screw holding the Drive Card frame in position. 3 Remove the Drive Card frame by sliding it away from the Backplane, disconnecting the Drive Cards in the process. -
Page 12: Drive Card, Connection And Fixture Combinations
Drive card, connection and fixture combinations The various drive cards are designed to: satisfy the needs of differing LED fixture types, and • provide differing cabling solutions to overcome installation limitations/difficulties. • The appropriate cabling will depend firstly upon the type and quantity of fixtures being supplied, which will impact the choice of drive card (and accompanying Break Out Box, if required). - Page 13 Multiple medium power fixtures Drive card: 8ch 700mA CC • Fixtures: 8 x 30W (in total) • 4 x 30W per run Cabling: CAT5e/6 • Outlet: Baby BOB, Big BOB or Cable BOB 4 • Release Baby Baby Baby Baby Status Fault Standard data...

Page 16: Processor Cards
Processor Cards Each Micro Pack requires a Processor Card to handle all communication tasks and also provide auxiliary inputs/ outputs for connection to external sensors and actuators. Two Processor Card models are available: • Local - provides DMX/DHP input and thru, DALI input, single channel auxiliary input port, four channel auxiliary input/output ports and a USB-C connection for future firmware updates and diagnostics. -

Page 20: Mains Power Input
Mains power input Each Micro Pack requires a stable mains AC supply applied, via a suitable isolator, to the upper section of the enclosure (when mounted upright). 20mm and 25mm knockouts for cable management Push-terminal connector block Mains input via conduit or trunking Mains power connection Mains inputs are made via a 3-way push-terminal connector block, allowing a single-phase input:... -

Page 22: Operation
Operation Switching on Micro Packs have no internal power switches or breakers; operation begins as soon as mains power is applied. Configuration Micro Packs are configured via RDM through the DMX/DHP link, via the touchscreen display or by connecting to the web interface using a computer or tablet. -
