KLSTR.nano Installation
Installation guide for the KLSTR.nano module
OEM integration
For fixture manufacturers integrating the KLSTR.nano into their products:
Mechanical mounting
- Position the KLSTR.nano PCB inside the fixture housing using the four M2.5 mounting holes.
- Use M2.5 standoffs (minimum 3mm height) to provide clearance between the module and the fixture’s PCB or housing.
- Ensure adequate airflow around the module — the KLSTR.nano operates without a heatsink but needs convective cooling.
- Route the Ethernet cable to the fixture’s external network connector.
Electrical connections
Power (JST-PH 4-pin connector):
| Pin | Signal |
|---|---|
| 1 | VCC (3.3V or 5V) |
| 2 | GND |
| 3 | GND |
| 4 | N/C |
DMX output (3-pin header, 2.54mm pitch):
| Pin | Signal |
|---|---|
| 1 | Data + (hot) |
| 2 | Data - (cold) |
| 3 | Ground |
Caution
The KLSTR.nano does not include a DMX line driver. For long cable runs (> 2m) or multi-fixture daisy chains, add an RS-485 line driver between the KLSTR.nano and the DMX bus.
Retrofit installation
For end-users installing a KLSTR.nano retrofit kit:
- Power off and disconnect the fixture from mains power.
- Open the fixture housing per the manufacturer’s service instructions.
- Mount the KLSTR.nano using the adhesive standoffs included in the retrofit kit.
- Connect the DMX adapter harness between the KLSTR.nano header and the fixture’s existing DMX input connector.
- Connect the power adapter cable to an appropriate power tap inside the fixture.
- Route the Ethernet cable through the provided cable gland and out of the fixture.
- Close the fixture housing and restore power.
Danger
Always disconnect mains power before opening a fixture. Work inside lighting fixtures should only be performed by qualified personnel.
Verification
After installation, the KLSTR.nano status LED indicates:
- Amber: Booting
- Blue: Network link established
- Green: Operating normally
- Red blink: Fault (see Troubleshooting)
Open KLSTR.ctrl to verify the device appears in discovery. The KLSTR.nano is identified with a “nano” badge.
