power cables
Power input and
output
cables must be rated 20A 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 20A
minimum. Follow the plug manufacturer’s instructions. Table 1 shows standard wire color-coding schemes
and some possible pin identification schemes; if pins are not clearly identified.

• A heavy duty, three-conductor, 16 AWG or 1.5 mm cable with SJT or equivalent cable jacket must be used to
connect the first fixture to AC mains power.

fixture) to AC mains power in one interconnected daisy chain using power input and through out connectors.
Relaying power to other devices
Warning! Do not connect more than ten fixtures in total to AC mains power in one interconnected chain. Power
can be relayed to another device via the PowerCON TRUE 1 ®
output
socket.
If you daisy chain the fixtures in a chain so that they all draw AC mains power via the first fixture, certain
points must be respected:

A DMX 512 data link is required in order to control a fixture via DMX. The fixture has 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 fixture to data:
1.
Connect the DMX data output from the controller to
2.
Connect the DMX output of the fixture closest to the controller to the DMX input of the next fixture and
continue connecting fixtures output to input.
3. Do not connect more than 32 fixtures to 1 DMX output.
