MegaMatrix Assembly Instructions

Mega Matrix Installation Instructions (d-light FireFli Edition)

Items required for assembly

* Phillips screw driver
* Eight hard plastic drywall anchors per box.  These can be found at Home Depot (SKU 459826) and most big box hardware stores in the screw section and are called Screw-In Drywall Anchors.
 * Four zip ties per box

Included with each 16 pixel section of Mega Matrix are:
* Pre applied double-sided tape
* Two pixel mounting boards
* 14 Pixel dividers
* One MegaMatrix box with pre-applied light blocking panels (sides)

Attaching the pixels

Start by laying out the two 60" long pixel mounting boards and the 14 divider panels.  Double-sided tape has already been pre-applied to the pixel mounting, carefully remove the white backing on the tape for one of the mounting boards.  Layout your pixel string for mounting onto the board - it doesn't matter which end of the pixel mounting board as the boards are unidirectional.  Attach the FireFli pixel directly in the middle where the small 1/8" hole is located.  You should have a slight hump in the wire between the pixels - this is normal.  Press the pixel firmly into place.  Lay the second board next to the first board and repeat the process.  At one end you will need to cross over to the other board - just bend the wire to allow for both boards to lay flat next to each other.  Now remove all the pixel domes by turning them counter clockwise.  Removing the domes will allow more light to fill each section of the Mega Matrix.

Attaching the pixel dividers

Next attach each of the 14 dividers to the pixel mounting boards.  Start by bending the dividers so that the cut face of the board is facing upward and away from the pixel mounting board.  Then, insert one end into the two slots next to the pixel.  Some minor rocking motion and pressure from the back side of the board may be required to get the tab to go all the way through the slot.  The tab should stick out on the back side of the pixel mounting board by about 1/16 of an inch.

Building the Mega Matrix Box

Start by laying the Mega Matrix box out flat on the ground with the hinge cuts toward the ground.  Lay the two completed pixel mounting boards on top of the flat box so that the plug-in cord is positioned so that it will come out the "D" shaped slot in the top of one end.  Next, start folding each of the long sides in toward the center of the pixel mounting boards.  The outer most flap of the board will then become the divider between the two pixel mounting boards.  Leave a little bit of the pixel mounting board end, where the wire between the two pixel mounting boards crosses, sticking out one end of the Mega Matrix. 

Now push in (this is normally pretty tight and may require a small plastic mallet or other hard object to tap them in) the pixel mounting boards until the edges are flush with the top of the box.  The wire between the two pixel mounting boards should fit between the slot cut into the coro that divides the two columns of the box as shown in the photo.

Next, folder over the side flaps, that have the notched edges, inward.  Finally, line up the holes on the end and sides and screw in the supplied screws using a Phillips screw driver.  When complete, you should see the notch for the center divider coming out of the hole in the end.

Completing the Build

After you insert the screws into the end of the box without the "D" slot it should appear as shown in the photo.br>
If you intend to mount the FireFli controller to the back of the box, we have provided holes for mounting the box and for cable strain relief.  Start by installing the supplied zip ties as shown in the photo before installing the screw.

Next, make sure that the end of the FireFli is pulled through the "D" slot in the end of the box.  Mount the FireFli using the supplied zip ties as shown in the photo.

Finally, install the remaining four screws to close the end of the Mega Matrix box.

You will also notice that on each side of the Mega Matrix there are two holes - these holes are for connecting two or more sections of Mega Matrix together (screws not included).
