Description Included in this Package: Pixie8 Smart Pixel Controller - Assembled - Black LOR Dangles 8 x Pixel Strings (strings of 50 square pixels) - 400 pixels in total 8 x Pixel Extensions (5ft Black) Plastic Pixel Mounting Strips (16 strips) Short Guy Cables (3 cables with hooks) Long Guy Cables ( 3 cables with hooks) Plastic tree parts ( 1 Topper, 1 Base, 3 Pole Supports) Assembly Hardware ( 4 Long Screws, 4 Short Screw, 8 Small Washers, 8 Large Washers, 8 Nuts ) Cable Ties ( 25 – 10” Adjustable, 25 – 8” Ties, 75 – 4” Ties ) Short Pipes ( 2 pieces ) Long Pipes ( 2 pieces ) Pipe Connectors ( 3 pieces ) Galvanized Stakes ( 17 – 8” Stakes, 3 – 10” Stakes ) Pixel String Spacing Template ( Includes small screw and nut ) Not Included: Star Topper Base (Optional) The Pixie8 controller & UL recognized MeanWell power supply come mounted in a UL list enclosure. The customer inserts the pixels into the mounting strips with 3" spacing. The included stake template provides perfect spacing for the 16 strings and 3 support cables. Mount the controller to the pole inside the tree, then use the adjustable straps to get your tree straight and level. Staked stub straps can remain frozen in the ground until spring allowing for easy takedown regardless of the temperature. If you'd like to build your own tree base (not required for use), check the tabletop section of your local hardware store and ask about a wooden "36 inch Round." Assembly When the tree is fully assembled, it can easily be mounted anywhere anywhere in your yard. We include stakes for anchoring each pixel strip in the ground. At the end of the season just remove the stakes, roll up the pixel strips and store everything in a compact space. The manual comes with complete details of exactly what you need to do. The real trick to this pixel tree are the strips used to mount the pixels. Made of high quality, UV resistant and super strong plastic, they are designed to space the pixels evenly and keep them facing the same direction. Pixel spacing is 3 inches with vacant holes between the pixels to allow wind to easily pass through. A tree kit takes, on average, three hours to construct from the time you open the box to the time the tree is ready for use (including the time to push the pixels through the strips). Read the instructions ahead of time to get a jump start on construction! (Actual assembly time may vary by customer.) What can your display look like with our CPC Packages? Take a look! Star Topper 18" If you have added a star to this 16x25 Pixel Tree Kit (strands end at the BASE) with RGBPlus or Pixel Bright Sequences, connect the pixel strand of the star to Strand #8 of your pixel tree. The Unit ID in the preview editor should be 47 (the ID of the last port on the Pixie8 for the tree), and the starting circuit should be 151. To use the star with an existing 16x25 Pixel tree, you must change the settings on the pixel tree's Pixie8's to allow 100 pixels per port instead of the default 50 pixels or else your star will not light. http://www.lightorama.com/help/configuring_units.htm DO NOT use more than a 10 foot pixel extension if you are connecting the star to a strand of pixels from a Pixel Tree.
