X BRICK
11.2.1 Preparation Procedure for Cables and Connectors

Test all X BRICK units before the installation.

Report any operational defects to D.T.S. Illuminazione S.r.l or their official distributor or dealer.

Do not install any X BRICK that presents any operational defect.

Plan any potential cable folding (please refer to the following paragraph “Cable Folding”).

Fasten both ends of the cables with connections fit for the environment in which they are made.

Connect the X BRICK to their power supply units with appropriate connection cables.

Cut the cable to the necessary length.

Should the length of the cables be insufficient, provide an extension by using a cable with the same
features. The junction between the two must be ranked at minimum IP65, or be made and left in a
closed and dry location.

Should the cables be damaged, they must be adequately repaired by restoring their IP protection
rating.

For junctions Cable – Cable use permanent installation kit IP68: Power IN IP68 cable con 2 x
DMX IN/OUT IP68 cable connectors (code 03.LA.214)
11.2.2 Cable Folding
Cables MUST NOT be folded with a curvature radius inferior to four times their external diameter (4x cable
diameter).
The cable, when extending from the product, must be kept straight for a minimum length of 5 cm (1.97 in) next
to the cable gland.
Traction forces on contact points, and on the
cable gland, must be avoided as per procedure:
when extending from the product, the cable must
not be folded for at least 5 cm (1.97 in).
Bends on the cable must have a curvature radius
over four times the diameter of the cable itself.
Avoid positioning the fixtures with their cables
extending from them in a vertical position. If this
can’t be avoided:

After the installation, add silicon glue to the
cable surface next to the device (picture on
the right, letter A );

Place the cable in order to obtain a
“draining” ring (see picture on the right).
WARNING : do not use acetic silicones.
