SkyPanel X Operating Manual 31
You can hard-wire the device to a building electrical installation. Power outlets or external power
switches that supply the device with power must be located near the device and easily accessible so
that it can easily be disconnected from power.
The SkyPanel X is shipped with different mains cables depending on the set, your application and
the local power supply specification. Please ask you local ARRI dealer for details.
To Loop Through the Mains Power
The SkyPanel X is equipped with a mains voltage output for supplying other devices with mains
voltage. The voltage at the mains output corresponds to the voltage at the mains input. The load on
the mains voltage output must not exceed 20 A. Therefore, connect no more than
• 5 (five) SkyPanel X at 240 V~ mains voltage, or
• 3 (three) SkyPanel X at 120 V~ mains voltage
with each other.
The ARRI X Modular System, as well as the X22 modular frame and the X23 modular frame are
shipped with suitable loop-through cables.
The loop-through cable is available as an accessory. We recommend the use of original ARRI loop-
through cables. The use of other loop-through cables is at your own risk.
To Insert and Remove the PowerCON
®
TRUE1 TOP Cable Connector
CAUTION!Please check the condition of your powerCON TRUE1 TOP connector system (cable
plug & device socket) regularly for signs of heavy use and extreme wear. Improper use and
excessive force can cause the coding lugs and guide grooves in the connector system to
become so worn or damaged that it is possible to insert the cable connector in the wrong
orientation. Worn or damaged cable connectors should be replaced immediately.
1) Line up the coding lugs of the connector and the guide grooves of the input socket. Insert the
cable connector without force in the power input socket.
2) Turn the cable connector a full quarter-turn clockwise to lock the cable connector.
3) To unlock the cable connector, push the connector lock backwards and turn the cable
connector counterclockwise.
4) Pull the cable connector out of the power input socket.
5.5.2 Battery Pack
The SkyPanel X can be used with a battery pack independent of AC power. The battery pack must
meet the following specifications:
Output voltage 48 V - 52 V =
Permitted temperature range -20° C to +45° C / -4° F to +113° F
Recommended minimum capacity 10 Ah
Connector type 3-pin XLR connector, male
The connection cable must be rated for a load of at least 15 A. Always observe the following
specifications.
WARNING
Risk of electric shock, fire and damage.
Only use connector cables which meet the specifications given above to connect a battery pack.
Cables that are too long can cause device malfunction due to excessive voltage drop in the cable.
