To Loop Through the Mains Power
The Orbiter is equipped with a mains voltage output for supplying other fixtures with mains voltage. The
voltage at the mains output corresponds to the voltage at the mains input. The load on the mains voltage
output must not exceed 15 A. Therefore, connect no more than
• 5 (five) Orbiter at 240 V mains voltage, or
• 3 (three) Orbiter at 120 V mains voltage
with each other.
The loop-through cable is available as an accessory. We recommend the use of original ARRI loop-through
cables. The use of other loop-through cables is at your own risk.
To Insert and Remove the PowerCON
®
Cable Connector
• Line up the raised key of the connector and the keyway of the input socket. Insert the cable connector
without force in the power input socket.
• Turn the cable connector a full quarter-turn clockwise to lock the cable connector.
• To unlock the cable connector, push the connector lock backwards and turn the cable connector counter-
clockwise. Pull the cable connector out of the power input socket.
To Connect a Battery Pack
The Orbiter can be used with a battery pack independent of AC power. The battery pack must meet the
following specifications:

Risk of electric shock, fire and damage.
Only use original ARRI connector cables to connect the battery pack. Cables that are too
long can cause fixture malfunction due to excessive voltage drop in the cable. Cables that
are too short can lead to over voltage and damage to the fixture.
