INSTALLATION AND SET UP
1. Power Requirements
The PL3 LED Luminaire operates on 120 to 240 volts AC (+/- 10%, auto-ranging). The luminaire contains an auto-
ranging power supply. Depending on supply voltage, each luminaire can draw up to 4.60 amps.
2. Connecting Power
If the unit is supplied with an AC input cable (PL3BE), Table 1 describes how to connect power to your PL3 LED
Luminaire. Field wiring of the PL3 LED Luminaire is straight forward. A total of 3 wires/conductors need to be
brought to the unit. For detailed power specifications, see
"PL3 LED Luminaire Specifications" on page 33

3. Connecting to the DMX512 Network
Basic DMX512 installation consists of connecting multiple PL3 LED Luminaires together in "daisy-chain" fashion.
A cable runs from the control console (or DMX512 control source) to the DMX connector on the first PL3 LED
Luminaire. Another cable runs from the other DMX connector on the first unit to a DMX connector on the next PL3
LED Luminaire (or DMX512 device to be controlled).
Note:
For more information on DMX512 networking and systems, refer to
"Additional Resources for DMX512" on

. For PL3 LED Luminaire DMX Mapping, refer to
