Contact WDM01. Plan Your Layout
Mark the ceiling center with an "X". Use a chalk line to create a grid matching your panel dimensions (24"x24" or 24"x48") to ensure industrial-grade alignment.
02. Mount Anchors
Poke guide holes 4" in from each panel corner. Screw in Rotofast anchors and snap hex covers into place. Pro Tip: Use painter's tape to mark poke points before drilling.
03. Connect Power & Data
Plug the RS232 lead into the "IN" port of the first panel. Use jumpers to chain panels (OUT → IN). You should hear a clear click when the RJ45 is secured.
04. Drop Ceiling / Custom Cuts
For drop ceilings, place panels directly into the T-grid frame. For beams or vents, cut through the fiberglass (not fabric) on the back. Fold flaps, apply 3M adhesive, and press flat.
05. Special Effects
Set lighting modes via DIP switches or RS-232 commands. Available modes include Realistic Night Sky, Shooting Stars (10s to 10m intervals), Meteor Showers, and Scintillation.
