4. Setup

The DMX512 LED Pixel Ball Lights require a DC24V power supply and a DMX controller for operation. Follow the wiring diagram below for proper connection.

4.1 Wiring Diagram

4.2 Connection Steps

1. Power Supply Connection: Connect a stable DC24V power supply to the main power input of your DMX system. Ensure the power supply capacity is sufficient for the total wattage of all connected pixel balls.
2. DMX Controller Connection: Connect your DMX controller (e.g., Art-net LCL-ART-16x512) to your computer via a network cable. The DMX controller will manage the data signals for the pixel balls.
3. Pixel Ball String Connection: Connect the pixel ball strings to the DMX controller output. Each pixel ball has 5 wires: VCC+ (Power Positive), DMX+ (Data Positive), DMX- (Data Negative), GND (Ground), and ADI (Address Input). Ensure these are connected correctly to the DMX controller's output terminals.
4. Daisy Chain: The pixel balls are designed to be daisy-chained. Connect the output of one string to the input of the next. The diagram shows up to 8 strings, each with 20 pixel balls, connected in series.
5. Secure Connections: Ensure all connections are secure and waterproof, especially for outdoor installations, given the IP67 rating.

Customization options for wire spacing and drops are available; please consult the seller for specific requirements.

5. Operating Instructions

These LED pixel balls are controlled via the DMX512 protocol, allowing for precise and dynamic lighting effects.

1. DMX Controller Setup: Configure your DMX controller software on your computer. This software will allow you to design and upload lighting programs.
2. Addressing: Each pixel ball or a group of pixel balls will need to be assigned a unique DMX address. Refer to your DMX controller's manual for specific instructions on addressing. Incorrect addressing can lead to unexpected lighting patterns or non-functionality.
3. Program Creation: Use your DMX software to create desired lighting sequences, colors, and effects. The RGB full-color capability allows for a vast spectrum of visual displays.
4. Playback: Once programmed, the DMX controller will send the data signals to the pixel balls, executing the designed lighting show.

6. Maintenance

The IP67 rating indicates high resistance to dust and water, making these pixel balls suitable for outdoor environments with minimal maintenance.

• Cleaning: Periodically clean the milky white covers of the pixel balls with a soft, damp cloth to remove any accumulated dust or dirt. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Connection Inspection: Regularly inspect all wiring and connections for any signs of wear, corrosion, or damage. Ensure waterproof seals remain intact.
• Environmental Considerations: While IP67 rated, extreme environmental conditions (e.g., prolonged submersion, direct high-pressure water jets) should be avoided to ensure longevity.

7. Troubleshooting

• No Lights or Partial Lighting:
  • Check the DC24V power supply to ensure it is active and providing the correct voltage.
  • Verify all wiring connections (VCC+, DMX+, DMX-, GND, ADI) are secure and correctly matched.
  • Inspect the DMX signal cable from the controller to the first pixel ball.
  • Ensure the DMX controller is powered on and transmitting data.
• Incorrect Colors or Patterns:
  • Confirm that the DMX addresses assigned in your controller software match the physical addressing of the pixel balls.
  • Check for any loose data connections that might be causing signal interference.
  • Ensure the DMX controller's output settings (e.g., universe, channel count) are correct for your setup.
• Single Pixel Ball Failure:
  • Due to the addressable nature, a single faulty pixel ball typically will not affect the entire string. Identify the faulty unit and replace it if necessary.

8. User Tips

• DMX Addressing: Always double-check your DMX addressing scheme before running complex light shows to ensure all pixel balls respond as intended.
• Layout Planning: When designing your installation, consider the 20cm pitch between pixel balls to achieve desired visual density and coverage.
• Power Calculation: Calculate the total power consumption of your setup (1.44W per ball) to ensure your DC24V power supply is adequately sized, including a buffer for stability.
• Customization: If your project requires specific wire lengths or spacing, remember that customization options are available from the seller.
