require a physical replacement when it is tripped. Instead, the internal circuitry and
processor is able to automatically re-enable the output power.
The status of these fuses can be read via the Advatek Management Interface, as well
as live measurements of the current that is being drawn from each pixel output.
If any of the fuses trip, the user might need to resolve any physical faults with the
connected load, and the smart electronic fuses will automatically re-enable power
output.
Each of the fuses on the PixLite A4-S Mk3 have a tripping point of 7A.
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 controller, as it depends on the
type of pixel. You need to consider if your pixel load will draw more than 7A of current
and whether there will be too much voltage drop in the pixel load for it to only be
powered from one end. If you need to “inject power” we recommend bypassing the
controller’s power output pins entirely.

Ethernet data is connected via a standard network cable into either of the RJ45
Ethernet ports located on the front side of the unit, as shown in Figure 7 below.
