To Power the SkyPanel
WARNING! Use only an ARRI power supply unit and
an ARRI connector cable. The use of other power
supply units and connector cables might cause mal-
function and damage of the product.
WARNING! For protection from electric shock, always
connect the external power supply unit electrically to
ground (earth) when connected to AC power. The AC
mains power supply must be fitted with a fuse or cir-
cuit breaker and ground-fault (earth-fault) protection.
IMPORTANT! Use an eye protection!
Ensure that persons do not look at the light emission
aperture without eye protection when the product is
connected to AC power or a battery pack. The prod-
uct can light up suddenly. The high intensity light
beam of the product can cause eye irritation or injury
when not respecting the safety distance.
IMPORTANT! Always connect the product direct to
AC power. Do not connect it to a dimmer-system.
Doing so will damage the product.
AC Power
The SkyPanel is powered by an external power supply unit
(PSU). The PSU is an auto-sensing switch-mode power supply
that automatically adapts to AC power at 110 - 240 V ~, 50 / 60
Hz (nom.).
Make sure that no person stares at the light output aperture
and the product is isolated from DMX before you connect it to
a power supply unit or a battery pack.
You can hard-wire the SkyPanel to a building electrical instal-
lation. You can install a power plug that is suitable for the local
power outlets on the power cable. Power outlets or external
power switches that supply the SkyPanel with power must be
located near the external power supply unit and easily accessi-
ble so that the PSU can easily be disconnected from power.
The external power supply unit of the SkyPanel requires a pow-
er input cable with a Neutrik

cable connector. Cable requirements are listed in section
“Specification” on page 66.
ARRI offers power cables with PowerCON
®
cable connectors
and different plugs or bare ends (see “Specification” on
page 66).
The connector cable between the external power supply and
the SkyPanel is available in different length as an accessory.
Use only ARRI connector cables (see “Specification” on
page 66).
