LumenDimPixMicro System Components
To use your LumenDimPixMicro wireless pixel controller you will need:
•
A DMX lighting console.
•
A LumenRadio CRMX-compatible wireless transmitter like the
RC4 LumenDimIO or the LumenRadio TX1.
•
A battery or DC power supply for the controller and pixel devices you will be
operating with it.
•
Pixels of a type supported by the LumenDimPixMicro. Common types are
WS2812 and APA102.
MTA-100 Connector Shell Color and Wire Gauge Matter
The 6-pin connector on the LumenDimPixMicro is the Amp MTA-100-Series,
with 0.1” pin spacing. These are Insulation Displacement Connectors (IDC).
An Amp MTA-100 tool is used to insert the wires.
One 22 AWG red-shell wire-tail assembly is provided with each
LumenDimPixMicro. Additional cable assemblies are available from RC4.
The shell color of MTA connectors indicates the wire gauge it is designed for.
Red shells,
Amp P/N 3-641190-6
,
are for 22 AWG wire. Each different wire
gauge uses a connector with a different color and P/N. Use the correct shell for
the wire you are using.
Connections to the wires on RC4 wire-tail connector assemblies can be made
by soldering, crimp connectors, wire caps, or other joiners. Be sure to cover
soldered connections with tubing or tape to avoid accidental short circuits.
