Colorlight i5A-F LED Receiving Card5A-Series Receiver — V6.0 Revision, Compact Red-Board Design
Colorlight i5A-F LED receiving card, the 5A-series receiver built for compact LED screens: V6.0 revision board, dense component layout and full compatibility with Colorlight control systems — supplied by Excelled, a trusted LED screen manufacturer for global B2B buyers.
What Is the Colorlight i5A-F LED Receiving Card?
The i5A-F LED receiving card is a 5A-series receiver in its V6.0 revision — a compact board built for the Colorlight synchronous control ecosystem. The F-family inherits the 5A-series architecture (the same generation as the i5A-905 mini receiver) in a layout aimed at standard LED screen cabinets.
The board is photographed with the Excelled product branding: a dark red PCB with the i5A-F and V6.0 silkscreen, dense component placement and clearly marked element designators (R77, U2, C215 and dozens more) for field-level rework.
• Family: 5A-series receiving card, V6.0 board revision.
• Branding: i5A-F / V6.0 silkscreen with Colorlight and EXCELLED marks.
• Form: compact red PCB for standard LED screen cabinets.
• Maintenance: full component designators printed on board (R/C/U series).
• Ecosystem: Colorlight synchronous control system (senders + LEDVISION software).

Colorlight i5A-F LED Receiving Card Specifications
The i5A-F shares the 5A-series feature architecture (high refresh, high gray scale, brightness and chromaticity calibration). Board-level facts below are verified from the product photography and silkscreen; where the official datasheet does not publish a parameter, it is not stated here.
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Product Type | 5A-series LED receiving card (Colorlight synchronous control system) |
| Board Revision | V6.0 silkscreen on board |
| Branding | i5A-F model silkscreen; Colorlight and EXCELLED marks |
| Board Form | Compact red PCB; component designators printed (R77, R78, R85, R108, R109, R100, R328, R545, RP19, RP20, RP117, C108, C213, C215, C153, C83, U2, U13, U23, U33, U35, L10 and more) |
| Dimension Drawing | 143.64mm, 53.21mm, 81.78mm, 60.33mm, 87mm, 82.49mm, Φ3.18mm per the official dimension chart |
| Series Features | 5A-series: high refresh rate, high gray scale, brightness and chromaticity calibration (per Colorlight 5A-series documentation) |
Evidence note: board-level facts (revision, designators, dimensions) verified from the product photography and the official dimension drawing via OCR. Series-level features are cited from the Colorlight 5A-series documentation. A standalone i5A-F datasheet was not available in the product folder at the time of writing — parameters not documented are intentionally omitted rather than borrowed from sibling models.
Why the i5A-F Serves Standard Cabinet Builds
The Workhorse of the 5A Family
Where the i5A-905 shrinks for casting cabinets, the i5A-F keeps the standard cabinet footprint — the receiver spec most LED screen builders already design their HUB boards around.
Field-Rework Friendly Silkscreen
Full component designators on the board mean a support engineer can walk a remote technician through probing R77 or U2 by name — no reverse-engineering of the layout over a video call.
V6.0 Revision Continuity
The V6.0 marking gives integrators a precise revision reference for firmware and cabinet-file matching — the detail that prevents ‘card works but colors are wrong’ field calls.
i5A-F Card Quantity Estimation
Card quantity follows the standard three-step receiving-card plan: pixel division, then cabinet and module verification.

When Should You NOT Choose the i5A-F?
• You need the mini 60P casting-cabinet form — the Colorlight i5A-905 is purpose-built for it.
• You want tool-free socketed swapping — the Colorlight i6 DDR2 SODIMM design owns that workflow.
• You need independent RGB gamma tuning — that arrives with the i9 series.
The i5A-F is the standard-cabinet workhorse of the 5A family — for specialist form factors and tuning features, the rest of the i-series fits better.

How to Wire the i5A-F Receiving Card
Standard receiving-card wiring: network daisy chain plus the cabinet HUB board connection.
- Mount: fix the card in the cabinet with the HUB board connection seated.
- Network: RJ45 daisy chain between cards; ports exchangeable per Colorlight design.
- Power: through the cabinet power bus.
- Verify: confirm the card revision matches the cabinet file before first light.

i5A-F Setup with LEDVISION — Step by Step
The i5A-F is configured inside Colorlight’s LEDVISION software as part of the full control system.
- Step 1 — Install LEDVISION and connect the sender.
- Step 2 — Detect: LEDVISION finds the card chain automatically.
- Step 3 — Screen setting: cabinet files, module layout, scan mode.
- Step 4 — Revision check: confirm V6.0 matches the loaded cabinet file.
- Step 5 — Calibration: load brightness and chromaticity calibration data.
- Step 6 — Test: send test patterns before content.
- Step 7 — Backup: save the configuration file for field replacement.

i5A-F Common Issues & Diagnostic Procedures
Straight answers from our support engineers’ most frequent Colorlight i5A-F tickets.
Q1 What series is the i5A-F?
The i5A-F belongs to the Colorlight 5A receiving card series, with the V6.0 board revision silkscreened on the PCB.
Q2 Is the i5A-F compatible with Colorlight senders?
Yes – it operates in the Colorlight synchronous control system with Colorlight senders and LEDVISION software.
Q3 Why does the revision matter for spares?
Mixed revisions in one wall cause calibration mismatches. Always quote the full ‘i5A-F V6.0’ revision when ordering spares.
