power

,
certain
points
must
be respected
:

l
A hard usage, 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 and to interconnect all the fixtures in the chain up to a maximum of seven fixtures in
total.
l
Light-grey PowerCon connectors must be used to draw AC mains power from the fixtures' power throughput sockets
and blue PowerCon connectors must be used to supply power at the fixture's power input sockets.
l
No matter what the AC mains power voltage is, do not connect more than ten fixture fixtures in total(i.e. including the
first fixture) to AC mains power in one interconnected daisy chain using power input and throughput connectors.

Data
link
A DMX 512 data link is required in order to control a fixture via DMX.
The fixture has 3-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 (+).
Or 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
To add more fixtures or groups of fixtures when the above limit is reached, add a DMX universe and another daisy-
chained link.
Use shielded twisted-pair cable designed for RS-485 devices: standard microphone cable cannot transmit control data
reliably over long runs. 24 AWG cable is suitable for runs up to 300 meters. Heavier gauge cable and/or an amplifier is
recommended for longer runs.
