Power cables
Power input and throughput cables must be rated 16A 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 16A minimum. Follow
the plug manufacturer’s inst ructions. Table 1 shows standard wire color-coding schemes and some possible pin
identification schemes; if pins are not clearly identified.

Daisy-chain power to other devices
Warning! Do not connect more than three fixtures in total in one interconnected chain. Power can be relayed to another
device via the PowerCON TRUE 1 ® throughput 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 heavy duty, three-conductor, 16 AWG or 1.5 mm2 cable with SJT or equivalent cable jacket must be used to connect the first
fixture to AC mains power. PowerCON TRUE1 ® connectors must be used to draw
AC mains power from the fixtures power throughput socket and yellow PowerCON TRUE 1 ® connectors must be used to supply
power at the fixture’s power input sockets.
Data link
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 in use.
Tips for reliable data transmission
To connect the fixture to data:
1. Connect the DMX data output from the controller to the 5-pin XLR connector of the nearest fixture.
2. Connect the DMX output of the first fixture to the DMX input of the next fixture and continue connecting fixtures.
