IMPORTANT CABLING CONSIDERATIONS
During installation, protection of the 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 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 extra cabling, the
power cores should be 14 AWG minimum.
•
Additional DMX control cabling: For initial control runs leading to the Terra
Drum cabling, these cables (or direct equivalents) 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.
•
The next page provides details about maximum run lengths for Terra Drum
installations. It should be noted that those limits are imposed only by the
power characteristics. Acclaim Lighting recommends a maximum DMX /
RDM control run length to the first Terra Drum fixture of no longer than
1,500’ (457m) without buffering.
