2. INSTALLATION

2.1 Points To Consider

Plan your installation before mounting the Media Tubes® HO. The following should be considered for a successful installation.

• Weather conditions and ambient temperature of installation site.

• Appropriate cable lengths (cable gauges described in below diagram). Please consult your local Traxon office or authorized agent for necessary aid.

• The number of Media Tubes® HO and appropriate LED Engines.

• DMX512/e:pix controller to be used to control the Media Tubes® HO.

• Distance between each Tube for thermal expansion and maintaining pixel pitch.

• There are two mounting methods to consider, plan mounting distances accordingly for whichever method is required.

• Proper surge protection.

• Number of standard LED Engines to be used.

2.2 Pre-Installation Checks

2.2.1 Installation Checklist

1. Prepare cables and all necessary accessories (Mounting Brackets, Waterproof Quick Lock End Caps etc).

2. Perform functional check of Media Tubes® HO. Take care not to damage cables/connectors during pre-installation checks.

3. Ensure all pre-installation checks laid out below have been followed.

4. Mount the Media Tubes® HO on-site. If the installation is to be left uncompleted overnight, place all non-connected LED Engines and Media Tubes® HO in an indoor environment.

Ensure all the Interconnection Cables, Media Tubes® HO and LED Engines are initially stored in a dry area to guarantee the complete sealing of the system from water before installation.

2.2.2 Cable Bending

To reduce stress induced on Media Tube® HO lead cables, please adhere to the Minimum Bending Radius of 10mm (0.4”) and the Non-Bendable Length of 20mm near the connector. It is recommended to install lead cables through conduits/trunking.

FIG.5: Minimum Cable Bending and Non-Bendable Length requirement

Minimum Bending Radius10mm/0.4”

Non-Bendable Length20mm/0.79”

NOTE: Water ingress incurred due to cable twisting or excess cable bending will not be under warranty by Traxon Technologies.



2.2.3 Mounting Bracket

If the Mounting Bracket method of installation is used, it is recommended to fix it to the installation surface before the Media Tube® HO is secured to the bracket

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 always results 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.
