Overview
As a decentralized power supply unit for large Ethernet or DMX controlled installations,
the Sys One provides the C, B and L Series LED components with voltage and data
simultaneously. However, it can also be used for smaller installations that have lower
demands on the connected load.
The Sys One features a XLR-pin output and two Data and Power outputs (red, in
parallel with the XLR) for Series C products and LED Tiles B as well as two RGB outputs
(blue) for LED strips of series L and B.
With convenient QuickPatch functions it is also possible to quickly reduce complicated
systems to a few DMX channels. Internal programs such as manually adjustable colors
allow simple commissioning of the LED components.
The Sys One can be controlled via Art-Net or DMX . The unit also features a built-in
DMX-Recorder and -Player for the many occasions when a fully-featured DMX console
is unnecessary. Data for the player can also be created using PixelPatch-, QuickTicker-
or QuickColour soware. Due to the fanless operation an application even in noise
sensitive installations is possible.

Installation
Inspect the Sys One immediately aer unpacking for any damage that may have occur-
red during transit. Damaged equipment should not be used.
If the Sys One is moved from a cold to a warm environment then a period of three
hours should be allowed to pass before use. That allows the evaporation of any con-
densation which may have formed as a result of the temperature change.
Connect the DMX IN and (if necessary) Thru‘ cables, followed by the LED outputs. Power
up the Sys One by connecting the mains input connector. Aer approximately one
second the unit is ready for use.
Do not operate the Sys One in direct sunlight. Do not use water or aggressive solvents
to clean the Sys One. Heavy soiling may be removed using a mild detergent.
System Cabling
Cabling the Sys One is very simple but please be sure to observe the following advice:
The LED PCBs are connected together using four-pin cables which are small, light-
weight, cost-eective and ideally suited for the purpose. However, the cross-sectional
area of the cables used with these connectors, is insucient for use in long distance
runs. For such purposes, the XLR-pin output should be used which has two cores with
a larger cross sectional area, plus shielded conductors to carry the data.
The interface between the two types of cable serves to create a low-priced adap-
torboard. Set and stage elements can now be completely equipped with their own,
internal LED systems requiring only the application of power and data.
Please note: The length of the XLR-pin cable between the System Power Supply and
the adapterboard should not be longer than m. The total length of system PCB cable
run from the System Power Supply should not exceed m.
• The total current drawn from all outputs of the Sys One should not exceed A.
• Each of the two Data Power Outs (red connector) can spend a maximum of DMX
channels or be charged with A.
• Each of the two RGB outputs (blue connectors) can be loaded with a
maximum of A.
The exact number of the to be controlled LED products, cabling- and
calculating examples can be found in the data sheets for each LED components.
