MULTIPLE DRIVERS
Up to five (5) Pixel Driver 1000IP devices may be daisy-chained directly together and linked to a
single controller. See the image below for reference. Do NOT daisy-chain more than five (5) de-
vices directly together.
INSTALLATION
If more than five (5) devices are required, a one-gigabit ethernet switch may be used to expand the
size of the network. However, even in this case, no more than ten (10) branches from the ethernet
switch are allowable, with each branch containing up to five (5) daisy-chained devices. This permits
a maximum of fifty (50) devices to be linked to a single controller, as shown in the image below. Do
NOT exceed this number of devices!
ALLOWABLE CABLE LENGTHS
16-AWG 4-pin extension cable may be used to link multiple devices. However, please take note of
maximum allowable cable lengths, as listed below:
CONTROLLER TO DEVICE 59 ft (18 m)
