5.3 - Fault Protection

The PixLite R2F-S features notable protection from potential damage due to various
types of faults. This makes the device extremely robust and reliably able to withstand
installation and operation even in harsh environments.

ESD protection is present on all data input lines and on all pixel output lines.

The data input port is protected against shorts to external voltages of up to +/- 24V.

All pixel output lines are protected against direct shorts of up to +/- 24V. This means
that even if your pixels or wiring have a fault that causes a direct short between the
power and data or clock lines on any output, it will not damage the device.
