power voltage
Check that the voltage range specified on the machine serial number label matches the local AC mains
power voltage before applying power to the fixture. The machine accepts AC mains power at 100-240 V
nominal, 50/60 Hz. Do not apply AC mains power to the machine at any other voltage than specified.
power cables
Power input and throughput cables must be rated 20 A minimum, have three conductors 1.5 mm² (16 AWG)
minimum conductor size and an outer cable diameter of 5 - 15 mm. Cables must be hard usage type (SJT or
equivalent) and heat- resistant to 90°C minimum. In the EU the cable must be HAR approved or equivalent.
If you install a power plug on the power cable, install a grounding-type (earthed) plug that is rated 20 A mini

data link
A DMX 512 data link is required in order to control a machine via DMX. The machine has 3 & 5-pin XLR connectors for DMX data
input and output. The pin-out on all connectors is pin 1 = shield, pin 2 = cold (-), and pin 3 = hot (+) Pins 4 and 5 in the 5-pin XLR
connectors are not used.
tips for reliable data transmission
To connect the machine to data:
1.
Connect the DMX data output from the controller to the closest machines male 3 & 5-pin XLR DMX input connector.
2.
Connect the DMX output of the machine closest to the controller to the DMX input of the next machine and continue
connecting machines output to input.
