Installation Sequence
1. Plan for any possible bending of cables (refer to “2.2.3 Requirements Of Cable Bending
And Twisting” on page 10).
2. Always keep the Waterproof End Cap on the Pixel Distributors or keep them safe in a
container for reuse.
3. Connect Allegro Dot M/L with LED Engines and Pixel Distributors in the daisy-chain
manner outlined in the System Diagram to form large installations.
4. Perform functional check on all Allegro Dot M/L and inspect cables for any damage.
Check for any abnormalities with the signal.
5. Report any functional defect found to your nearest Traxon Technologies office. DO NOT
attempt to install Allegro Dot M/L with functional defects on-site.
2.2.3
Requirements Of Cable Bending And Twisting
Please take EXTRA precautions before bending or twisting Allegro Dot M/L cable.X-lock Lead
Cable must NOT be bent below the Minimum Bending Radius (4x Cable Diameter) and the
Non-Bendable Length of 50mm near the connector end or near the cable overmold MUST be
adhered to.

The flat Allegro Dot M/L Cable must NOT be bent/twisted below 20mm (0.79”) from edge of
Allegro Dot housing (Non-Bendable/Non-Twistable Length).
Twisting the flat cable is NOT recommended. If twisting is necessary for installation, please
adhere to the above Non-Twistable Length and ensure the mounting pitch is greater than or
equal to 75% of the normal Allegro Dot to Allegro Dot pitch. The middle part of the cable must
be secured to the mounting fixture with a cable tie (see “2.3 On-Site Installation” on page
12 and FIG.15 on page 14). Ensure no damage is generated on the cable.
