Power cables
Power input and throughput cables must be rated 16A minimum, have three conductors 1.5 mm² (16 AWG) minimum conductor size and
an outer cable diameter of 5 - 15 mm. Cables must be hard usage type (SJT or equivalent) and heat- resistant to 90°C minimum. In the
EU the cable must be HAR approved or equivalent.
If you install a power plug on the power cable, install a grounding-type (earthed) plug that is rated 16A minimum. Follow the plug
manufacturer’s instructions. Table 1 shows standard wire color-coding schemes and some possible pin identication schemes; if pins are
not clearly identied.
Data link
A DMX 512 data link is required in order to control a xture via DMX. The xture has 5-pin XLR connectors for DMX data input and output.
The pin-out on all connectors is pin 1 = shield, pin 2 = cold (-), and pin 3 = hot (+) Pins 4 and 5 in the 5-pin XLR connectors are not used.
Tips for reliable data transmission
To connect the xture to data:
1. Connect the DMX data output from the controller to the 5-pin XLR connector of the nearest xture.
2. Connect the DMX output of the xture closest to the controller to the DMX input of the next xture and continue connecting xtures
output to input.
Relaying power to other devices
Warning! Do not connect more than ve xtures in total to AC mains power in one interconnected chain. Power can be relayed to another
device via the PowerCON TRUE 1 ® throughout socket.
If you daisy chain the xtures in a chain so that they all draw AC mains power via the rst xture, certain points must be respected:
A heavy duty, three-conductor, 16 AWG or 1.5 mm2 cable with SJT or equivalent cable jacket must be used to connect the rst xture to
AC mains power.
• PowerCON TRUE 1 ® connectors must be used to draw AC mains power from the xtures power throughout sockets and yellow
PowerCON TRUE 1 ® connectors must be used to supply power at the xture’s power input sockets.
• No matter what the AC mains power voltage is, do not connect more than the xture in total ( including the rst xture) to AC mains
power in one interconnected daisy chain using power input and through out connectors.
