Storm Form and Storm Form DMX User Guide
Version 1.1 – 2/25/2021
POWER AND WIRING REQUIREMENTS
The Storm Form and Storm Form DMX have a maximum wattage of 9.6W and an operating voltage
range of 12-24VDC.
The Storm Form and Storm Form DMX include a single locking connector which combines both power
and data into one compact cable. This connector is compatible with our
Gantom Pro Cable System
,
including our G8 Power/Data Distribution Box. A single cable for power and data greatly simplifies
installation and the locking connector gives a secure connection for long term use. This makes the
Gantom Pro Cable System
ideal for permanent installations. For more information on this system,

Note: all fixtures must be installed with the low voltage supply power OFF. Hot
plugging (connecting to a live power supply) is not supported.
Hot plugging a fixture into a system with a running power supply will increase the load on the power
supply, which can generate voltage spikes that more than double of the standard input voltage. This
causes an out-of-spec and out-of-warranty voltage condition which may result in damage to the fixture.
While Gantom fixtures have internal protections against voltage spikes, it is recommended that
installers handle them with care to prevent these spikes from happening in the first place.
Installing all fixtures in the system before turning on power to the low voltage
power supply assures that the power supply has a “soft start” which is free from
harmful voltage spikes.
