Line Cord Cap Construction
Studio Color is shipped without a line cord cap attached. Secure the line cord to
a line cord cap in accordance with the following code:
• green and yellow– earth
• blue– neutral
• brown– live
In the United States, use an integral cord grip that is rated either at 125 V 20 A
(NEMA 5-20) or 250 V 20 A (NEMA 6-20), depending on the available
supply.
In the United Kingdom, as the colours of the cores in the mains lead of this
equipment may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the
terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
• The core which is coloured green and yellow must be connected to the terminal in
the plug which is marked with the letter
E
or by the earth symbol, or coloured
green or green and yellow.
• The core which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is
marked with the letter
N
or coloured black.
• The core which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which is
marked with the letter
L
or coloured red.
WARNING: Class I equipment. This equipment must be earthed.
Data Cable Construction
Studio Color uses standard three-pin XLR connectors. You should construct
data cables using shielded, two conductor cable with male three-pin XLR
connectors at one end and a female three-pin XLR connectors on the other end.
You can use microphone cables if the pin connections are correct. Test each
cable with a volt-ohm meter for correct polarity and ensure that the negative
and positive pins are not grounded or shorted to the shield. Ensure that pin 1 is
shielded. Refer to Figure 1.3.
Figure 1.3. Data Cable Construction
If your DMX controller uses five-pin data cables, you will need to construct or
purchase a five-pin to three-pin adapter.
