INTRODUCTION
WELCOME
Welcome to the Pixel Driver 400 from Acclaim Lighting, a self contained driver for up to
eight Acclaim Lighting Flex Tube Pixel strips based upon eight universes received via Art-Net
(up to and including Art-Net III). The Pixel Driver 400 is well suited to larger installations with
multiple strips because it removes the need for individual Pixel Driver 1 units to be used.
SAFETY
•Ensure that the power input is supplied from a correctly fused, earthed and
environmentally protected location.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION: Always isolate mains power before starting maintenance operations.
•Ensure that all mounting (and device) screws/bolts are fully tight and free of corrosion.
•Ensure there is no deformation to the housing, lenses or fixing points.
•Check that all power supply cables are free from physical damage or material fatigue.
•Use only genuine spare parts supplied by Acclaim Lighting.
CLEANING
•Use a moist, lint-free cloth when cleaning each fixture.
•Never use alcohol or solvents.

OVERVIEW
The Pixel Driver 400 accepts an Ethernet-based Art-Net input feed from any suitable source,
including the Pharos® LPC and VLC controllers (up to and including Art-Net III). Eight
consecutive universes are extracted from the incoming Art-Net feed and are used to drive
the eight SPI ports located on the rear panel. A Flex Tube Pixel strip can be driven from each
SPI port:
The eight SPI outputs are sub-divided into two groups, each of which can provide a
maximum of 200W across the grouped outputs.

ASSIGNMENT OF UNIVERSES AND CHANNELS
Eight consecutive Art-Net universes will be assigned to the eight SPI output ports, beginning
with the universe defined in the Art-Net Setting page within the menu (see page 11).
The 512 channels of each received Art-Net universe are applied to the relevant SPI output
ports, such that each attached Flex Tube Pixel strip will begin at channel 1 and increment
from there to determine the color mix of each pixel.

INSTALLATION
MOUNTING
The Pixel Driver 400 can simply be placed upon any flat surface or alternatively it can be fixed
to a horizontal or vertical surface or placed within a standard 19”rack mount chassis. Four
mount brackets are supplied together with twelve countersunk screws. The brackets can be
used in two ways.
FOR SURFACE MOUNTING
On each side of the Pixel Driver 400 casing attach two of the supplied brackets to the holes
shown:
FOR RACK MOUNTING
On each side of the Pixel Driver 400 casing attach one of the supplied brackets to the holes
shown to create rack ears:
Each bracket has two slots measuring Ø 0.24 x 0.47” (Ø 6 x 12mm) which are spaced at 2.97”
(75.5mm) centers.
Note: Pixel Driver 400 is
roughly 3.5” high and
occupies a 2U space within
a standard 19” rack mount
chassis.

ETHERNET CONNECTIONS
Two RJ45 network sockets are provided on the rear panel, labeled Ethernet IN and
Ethernet Thru. Use Ethernet IN to connect the Pixel Driver 400 to your controlling device or
network switch and Ethernet Thru to link out to the next Pixel Driver 400 unit (if used).

Note: A maximum cable size of 12 AWG
(4mm2) can be used directly within the
terminal block contacts.
OUTPUT PORT CONNECTIONS
There are eight output ports on the rear
panel, each of which uses a 4-pin terminal
block (5.08mm pitch). Three of the four
contacts are used at each port to provide
the attached Flex Tube Pixel strip with
+24VDC and ground together with an SPI
control signal.

OUTPUT PORT POWER LIMITS
The output ports are fed with power in two groups: ports 1 to 4 and ports 5 to 8.
In each group of four output ports, ensure the total power draw does not exceed 200W
(8.3A). Flex Tube Pixel strips have the following power requirements:
•Flex Tube Pixel 60W per 16.4’ (5m) length
•Flex Tube Pixel SE 82.5W per 16.4’ (5m) length

INPUT POWER WIRING
The fixed power cord is roughly 5 feet (1.5m) in length and is supplied as standard with US
color coding and bare tails. For international installations, wire according to local codes.

IN-RUSH CURRENT
The Pixel Driver 400 uses a switched mode power supply which exhibits a trait known
as ‘in-rush current’ when first powered on. This is caused by the various capacitive
components initially topping themselves up with power. The in-rush current period lasts
only milliseconds, however, if you are using multiple units on a single supply, ensure that the
breakers used are rated to support inrush currents without tripping during startup.
Input supply range: 100-277VAC 50/60Hz
Power consumption: 840W maximum
Current (maximum): 7A at 120V
3.5A at 240V
3A at 277V
