POWER CABLING
AL Cove DMX fixtures use proprietary 3+5 pin connectors (mains
plus DMX) for their inputs and outputs. The connector placements
at each end of every fixture are such that abutted fixtures can be
directly connected without need for extra link cables.
The contacts of the required feed-in cable (available as a separate
item) are arranged as follows:
MAXIMUM NUMBER OF FIXTURES
The maximum number of fixtures that can be connected in a single series is determined by
the supply voltage:
Runs can consist of mixtures of 1’ and 4’ fixtures, as required, providing the total length of
fixtures is not exceeded.
Maximum length of AL Cove DMX fixtures:
Up to 100 feet (30m) at 120VAC
Up to 200 feet (60m) at 220/240 or 277VAC

INTERCONNECTING
Each AL Cove DMX fixture has a short cabled power input plug at one end and an integral
power output socket at the other. When fixtures are daisy chained (and are directly abutted),
the input plug of one fixture can connect directly to the output socket of the previous
fixture. Alternatively, where fixtures are not abutted, one of the optional link cables can be
used to make up the gap between any two fixtures.
IMPORTANT: Do not exceed the stated maximum fixtures in a daisy chain. See ”Maximum
number of fixtures” below.
