Power cores: AWG 18 / 1.02mm 2
Signal cores: AWG 26 / 0.13mm 2
POWER AND CONTROL WIRING
Power and control are combined within the IP66-rated feed and inter-connect cables. Input
and output connectors are proprietary six pin designs; with a male input connector located
at one end and female output connector at the other. Connector placements are such that
abutted units can be directly connected without need for extra cables.
The color designations for the optional feed in cable are as follows:

IN-RUSH CURRENTS
Linear One fixtures are specially designed to ramp up their current intake (relatively) slowly
in order to prevent in-rush current issues. When first powered on, a Linear One DMX fixture
should not exceed its standard rating of 20W per linear foot (depending on model).
MAXIMUM NUMBER OF LINEAR ONE FIXTURES
The total length of Linear One DMX fixtures that can be connected in a single series run are
as follows:
•
@ 120VAC 50 feet (15m)
•
@ 230VAC 100 feet (30m)
Note: Do not exceed a total of 32 fixtures on a single line without signal boosting. An
Acclaim Lighting RDS-6 RDM/DMX splitter or equal device can be used for this purpose.
Ensure that the output connector of the final fixture has a terminator plug [Part #:
LXTEC
]
fitted to correctly terminate the DMX signal.
POWER
The power requirements are as follows:
•
Voltage: 100-277VAC 50/60Hz
•
Power: 1’ models: 20W steady state
4’ models: 80W steady state
Note: Acclaim recommends taking proper precautions for external surge protection, as control
and power electronics can be damaged by major events.
The DMX header cable connected to the feed cable should be suited for RS-485 data
transmission and have a characteristic impedance of 120 Ohms, such as Belden 9842 or
equivalent.
