CONNECTING ANY CABLES AS THIS CAN DAMAGE THE PRODUCTS.
CAUTION – AVOID LOOKING DIRECTLY INTO THE LED LIGHT SOURCE AT CLOSE
RANGE FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY.
ANY PERSONS INSTALLING THIS PRODUCT SHOULD COMPLY WITH LOCAL
STANDARDS AND REGULATIONS AND MUST BE QUALIFIED FOR THE HANDLING
OF ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT.
This product is designed for indoor and outdoor use.
Ensure product operates within the specified temperature range.
If the fixture has been subjected to drastic temperature variances, for example, following
transportation, do not connect the fixture until it has reached room temperature, as
moisture condensation may cause electric shock and product damages.
Plan your installation before mounting the Tube. The following should be considered for a
successful installation.
• Installation distances and choose appropriate cable lengths.
• Appropriate anchor bolts where necessary to secure the fixture.
• The number of fixtures and choose appropriate power sources.
• DMX/e:pix controller to be used to control the fixtures.

5.2 MEDIA TUBE RGB CONNECTION
5.1 MEDIA TUBE RGB CONNECTION COMPONENTS
The Tubes are interconnected using the IN and OUT cables on each end of the tube.
Screw the connectors tightly for a water-tight seal. FIG 3 shows the Tube connections.
The Media Tube RGB is connected using a daisy chain system with power and data on
the same cable. FIG 2 shows some typical components for Media Tube RGB system.
See FIG 4 and FIG 5 for typical system wiring.

The LEDs on the Media Tube RGB are controlled by DMX/e:pix. Each pixel on the Tube
uses 3 channels, for R, G, and B. Pixel number 1 is at the end of the Tube near the IN
connector, and it uses the first three channels of the Tube. The Tube start address is
the next address from the previous tube in the daisy chain.

6. CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Traxon™ products are of superior design and quality and should be treated with
care. The recommendations below will help fulfill and warranty obligations and
gain good use and longevity from the products.
- Do not attempt or use the product(s) until you read and understand the installation instructions.
Failure to adhere to these instructions could result in serious injury or property damage.
- Do not use product(s) if cables are damaged.
- Do not connect cables and connectors when wet or in wet area. Moisture on bare connectors can
cause electric shock and damage to product(s).
- Do not use product(s) in extreme heat environment. Ensure there is sufficient airflow and use cool
air circulation if required.
- Do not drop, knock, or shake product(s). Rough handling can damage the electronics and void the
warranty.
- Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean products. Wipe with
a damp cloth on housings and a dry cloth on electronics to remove dirt or dust.
- Do not attempt to service or repair the product(s) unless done by an authorized service personnel.
Contact your the local Traxon™ office or distributor for details.
If the product is not working correctly, please contact your nearest authorized service
centre or Traxon Technologies office for assistance.
As with all electronic devices, LED output degrades over time - a term called lumen
depreciation. This also explains why it is nearly impossible to expect photometric
performances of two LED products with different service life spans to be the same. The
rate of LED degradation is a complex function of many factors such as operating
efficiency, duration of continuous operation, and operating conditions (e.g. ambient
temperature).
Because LEDs are semiconductor devices, their performances are subject to inherent
variability commonly found in semiconductor industry. To improve consistency in
performance across the same product. LED manufacturers “sort” LEDs into bins
according to different preset parameters, such as forward driving voltage, illumination,
etc. Whereas binning is a sorting function, it is not a correction process. Inherent
variability in the manufacturing process results always in different binning distributions
according to different production lots. Traxon uses automatically binned LEDs on its
products, thereby minimizing output variations within the model range.
8. WARRANTY STATEMENT
Traxon warrants its Products against material or workmanship defects for a period of
two (2) years from date of purchase, provided that the purchased items are used under
the conditions stated in this user manual.
