The MaNima Recepta is the smallest receiver in the range: a 45.6 × 21.5 mm board that recovers one of the three datalines from a differential link and outputs it as digital LED data on a three-pole terminal. It fits inside an LED extrusion profile, which is where the constraint usually sits — the fixture has room for the LEDs and almost nothing else.
It needs no supply of its own. Logic power travels over the data cable from the Extensa on a dedicated 4–6 V rail, so the far end of a 100 m run needs nothing but the fixture’s own supply. Where that supply is present anyway, the Recepta can draw from the fixture side instead and selects a suitable source automatically.
A rotary switch does the configuration: which of the three datalines the board handles, whether it receives or transmits, and whether the built-in NTC is enabled. Settings can be changed on the fly within a direction; a change between receiving and transmitting takes effect after a power cycle. Because there is no software state, a Recepta is replaced in the field by matching the switch position of the one it replaces.
Set to a transmitting mode the board works in reverse. Placed at the end of a digital LED line it takes that line’s data, generates a differential signal, and bridges up to 100 m to a second Recepta that drives the next line — extending an LED run with no Extensa and no driver channel involved. In this mode it is powered by the LED fixture it reads, and it feeds the receiving end over the cable.
An onboard NTC sensor sits next to one of the mounting holes. Mount that side against the surface you want to measure and enable it with the rotary switch, and the driver reads the fixture temperature over the same cable that carries its data.

Selection notes
Order RECEPTA with connectors fitted, or RECEBARE without — the bare version solders straight onto the cable, which is the usual choice where a connector will not fit and for a transmitting Recepta in a line-to-line bridge.
Keep the run from the Recepta to its fixture within 10 m. Beyond that the recovered single-ended data is as exposed as the line the differential link replaced. The board is IP20: protected against fingers, not against moisture, so the profile or fixture around it has to provide the ingress protection.
