4. Electrical Connections
LINN is manufactured to order, meaning that the appropriate power feeds are factory
moulded. There are two options available for all versions, these are bare end cables
or plugs.
Bare end cables come with a standard length which can vary pending the
manufacturing process, therefore it is recommended to ensure the feeder cable is
long enough to reach the cable entry point of LINN, where connections can be made.
Plugs are designed for “plug-and-play” type installations, whereas the installer would
ensure female sockets are available at each LINN start location, with the male type
LINN connector then plugging into this female type socket. Female sockets are
available as separate items.
Note that custom feed cable lengths are available upon special request.
LINN is a high-powered product, which requires a detailed electrical design to ensure
equal balancing of loads across drivers and power supplies. Reference can be made
to the various data sheets for specific variants, that indicate the operating voltage and
the wattage per metre. Technical support is on hand to assist with control and power
design. LINN operates at 24Vdc unless otherwise stated in specific data sheets or
product labels. Care should be taken to ensure the operating voltage is constant
(constant voltage). A maximum volt drop of 5% is allowed (for example at 24Vdc, the
maximum voltage drop would be 1.2V meaning a delivered voltage of 22.8V to the
fixture.
EPS Lighting has an extensive range of power supplies, LED Drivers, SPI pixel
gateways and various DC-DC transformers which allow installers to overcome volt
drop issues, as well as various control options such as stand-alone DMX interfaces to
multi-universe video matrix type products. EPS Lighting also has an in-house design
and engineering team that can deliver such systems, please contact support for more
information.
Below is a guide which indicates the number of cores and the connections they relate
to. Each manufactured length of LINN will have a factory fitted label which indicates
the correct cores to use, as well as the colour of each specific core and its associated
connection. The below guide is in black and white for clarity, and reference should
always be made to the label on the product itself as sometimes, the cable colours may
vary pending manufacturing processes or for custom orders. If in doubt, or if the label
is missing, contact support for assistance before connecting to power.
