System Connections
This section describes how to connect the Atomic Colors to your lighting system using a 2-unit or
an 8-unit external power supply.
Notes:
•
Ensure the AC input power is
switched off
while you are connecting components of the
system.
•
Do not connect
the power supplies to any type of dimmer circuit.
•
Before operating the Atomic strobe,
make sure the power supply for the Atomic Colors is
connected, and switched on.
•
When rigging the fixture and power supplies, use the safety wires as a means of secondary
attachment.
•
When suspending the fixture above ground level, verify that the structure can hold at least 10
times the weight of all installed devices.
•
Ensure that all cables are securely fixed and do not present a safety hazard of any sort.
