5.1 - Supplying Power
Power is applied to the PixLite R4D-S via the large lever clamp connector. The levers
should be lifted up for wire insertion and then clamped back down, providing a highly
robust and secure connection. Ensure the wire’s insulation is stripped back 11-12mm,
so that the clamp does not rest on the insulation when closing the connector. Polarity
for the connector is clearly marked on the lid, as shown in Figure 5 below. The type of
wire required for supply connection is 4.0mm2, 10AWG, VW-1.

5.2 - Output Fuses & Power Injection
Each individual output is protected by a mini blade fuse. The PixLite R4D-S comes with
7.5A fuses by default. You may use any value of fuse, up to and including 7.5A,
depending on your specific application. Individual outputs should not exceed 7.5A
and the total current should not exceed 30A. If your application requires more current
than this, then you will need to inject power into the pixels directly.
The number of pixels that can be physically powered through this device may not be
as high as the amount of pixel control data that is being output. There is no definitive
rule as to how many pixels can be powered from the receiver, as it depends on the
