XTR cabling
IMPORTANT CABLING CONSIDERATIONS
During installation, protection of the XTR cabling must always be fully
considered:
•
Wherever possible, cable runs should be positioned to make them beyond
normal reach within any installation.
•
For long cable runs, external runs and in areas where public contact and/or
accidental damage is possible, the XTR cabling should be contained within
protective conduit. Minimum spec: Schedule 40, 1.5” (ID: Ø1.61”, OD: Ø1.74”).
•
Additional power cabling: Where power feeds require the use of non-XTR
cabling, the power cores should be 14 AWG minimum.
•
Additional DMX control cabling: For initial control runs leading to the XTR
cabling, these are recommended:
•
Indoor exposed or inside conduit above grade: Belden 9842
•
Indoor plenum: Belden 82842
•
Outdoor exposed, direct burial, or inside conduit below grade:
Belden 3107DB
•
Please consult and adhere to all relevant local codes.
RUN LENGTHS - OVERALL MAXIMUM
In addition to remaining within the maximum permitted length of fixtures in a single
run (as discussed on page 9), you also need to adhere to the working limits for the
overall length of the
whole installation
, ie the total length fixtures in the run
plus
all their
additional feed and link cabling, as listed below.
Note: These limits are imposed only by the power characteristics. The length of the DMX control
feed to the first XTR fixture could be up to the usual DMX standard limit (3,900 feet/1200m) with
appropriate cable choice (see ‘Important cabling considerations’ below).
Supply Maximum overall run length
voltage (fixtures plus all extra cabling)
100/120VAC (10A max) 200’ (61m)
230/277VAC (10A max) 400’ (121m)
380VDC (XTR Driver) 800’ (243m)
IMPORTANT: Ensure the voltage drop across the entire run does not exceed 9%.
