d. Installation
The Color Block PSU-30 must be installed in a 2U rack mounted enclosure and be supported
front and rear. Ensure adequate ventilation around the front and rear of the enclosure. Failure to
allow adequate ventilation may result in premature failure of the unit.
e. Wiring
Power in, mains voltage
Europe
Live = brown, neutral = blue, earth = green / yellow
North America
Live = black, neutral = white, ground = green
OUT - XLR4
Used to supply power and control data to the Color Block DB4 fixtures. Pin 1 = 0VDC, pin 2 =
control minus, pin 3 = control plus, pin 4 = +48VDC. The chassis should be ground bonded.
Note:
Due to the higher levels of leakage current of the PSU-30 it is important that the XLR4
cables used are manufactured only to the specification detailed above. It is also important that
the cables are not coupled or uncoupled whilst the PSU is powered and that the PSU is
correctly grounded.
DMX - XLR5
Pin 1 = ground/shield, pin 2 = control minus, pin 3 = control plus, pins 4 and 5 are not used.
SYNC - RJ45
Used to synchronise the FX running on multiple PSU-30s. A straight wired RJ45 patch cable is
suitable to connect units (not a crossover cable).
Note
: The SYNC connector on the PSU-30 is not using Ethernet.
