3.3.2 Power Input
Each PDB -5 has 2x 16 amp inputs and 6x 10 amp outputs with breakers for AC power distribution.
The limit for each PDB - 5 output is 10A, with a total output of 32A maximum per PDB -5.
Refer to the PDB -5 User ’ s Guide for more information.
Observe the following power guidelines when setting up your Helix P1 display:
Max current draw of one PXL Node with four (4) P1 pixels strings is 0.5A @ 200-240VAC 50/60Hz.
Maximum # of PXL Nodes per PDB - 5 output = 20
Maximum # of PXL Nodes per PDB -5
*
w/ 1 x 16A input = 32
Maximum # of PXL Nodes per PDB -5
*
w/ 2 x 16A input = 64
* PDB -5 has 32A limit (2x 16A).
When running typical video content, the duty cycle (average power consumption) is about 30% of maximum.
WARNING
Do not hot plug any cables. Damage to the connector pins may occur. Resulting damage is not covered under warranty.
