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.
The PixLite R4D-S features 4 data-only outputs, each having both a dedicated fuse
and 'fuse good' LED indicator.
The PixLite R4D-S features a sleek, compact design and 4 holes for ease of wall
mounting as well as an optional DIN rail mounting kit. It also features industrial grade
protection on all inputs and outputs, making it the ideal option for reliable
commercial and industrial applications.
This manual covers physical aspects of the PixLite R4D-S receiver and its essential
setup steps only. Separate user manuals are available for the transmitter units. Other
manuals may be downloaded from here:

3 - Safety Notes
This LEDpixel 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 - Physical Installation
4.1 - Wall Mount
Assemble the unit onto the wall / ceiling using four screws of a type suitable for the
mounting surface (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.

4.2 - DIN Rail Mount
The receiver can be mounted to a DIN rail using the optional mounting kit (part
number MNT0101).
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.

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. Polarity
for the connector is clearly marked on the lid, as shown in Figure 5 below. The type of
wire required for supply connection is 4.0mm2, 10AWG, VW-1.

5.2 - Output Fuses & Power Injection
Each individual output is protected by a mini blade fuse. The PixLite R4D-S comes with
7.5A fuses by default. You may use any value of fuse, up to and including 7.5A,
depending on your specific application. Individual outputs should not exceed 7.5A
and the total current should not exceed 30A. If your application requires more current
than this, then you will need to inject power into the pixels directly.
The number of pixels that can be physically powered through this device may not be
as high as the amount of pixel control data that is being output. There is no definitive
rule as to how many pixels can be powered from the receiver, as it depends on the

type of pixel. You need to consider if your pixel load will draw more than 7.5A of
current and whether there will be too much voltage drop in the pixel load for it to only
be powered from one end. If you need to “inject power” we recommend bypassing
the receiver’s power output pins entirely.
If a fuse needs replacing, a suitable replacement fuse is of type "F7.5A E 32V". An
additional spare fuse is also provided for quick replacement which can be accessed
by opening the lid, as shown in Figure 6 below.

No on- board power configuration is required. Power to the logic circuitry is
automatically regulated from the power input. Simply connect your DC power supply
in accordance with specifications listed in Section 7.1 to the power screw terminal, as
shown in Figure 5 above.
5.3 - Data Input
Data is connected via a standard network cable into the RJ45 jack located on the
front panel of the unit, as shown in Figure 7 below.
