Power/ Control connection
Power connection
Connection method:
L (Live) Brown wire
E (Earth) Yellow / Green bi-color wire
N (Neutral) Blue wire
The voltage and frequency of the power source must be in compliance with the ones marked on the fixture. Please
apply series connection when many sets of fixtures are connected to the power source to avoid heavy load to the
power source. When the voltage is 100V, maximum 8 sets of fixtures could be allowed in each series connection.
When the voltage is 240V, maximum 16 sets of fixtures could be allowed in each series connection. Another series
connection should be set up for extra fixtures.
Notes
It is essential that each fixture is correctly grounded and the electrical installation conforms to all relevant Standards /
Codes of Practice for Safe Electrical Work.
Control connection
The fixture has 5-pin XLR connectors for DMX data input and output (3-pin optional) as shown below. Connection between
the console and fixture, and between fixtures must be made with 2 core screened DMX signal cable. Maximum connecting
distance of signal cable is 150 meters. Additional DMX512 signal-amplifier is recommended for longer distance.
Connect the Console’s DMX OUTPUT to the first fixture’s DMX INPUT, then the first fixture’s DMX OUTPUT to the second
fixture’s DMX INPUT and so on. It is recommended not to connect more than 32 units on a single DMX universe. On the
last fixture‘s output connect a DMX terminator. (The terminator is a XLR connector with a ¼ W and 120Ω resistor between
the pin 2 and pin 3) as shown below:
