Design of the Robin CycBar 15 allows to connect several fixtures to AC mains power in one interconnected daisy
chain using power input and throughput connectors. Needed daisy chain cords are stated in the chapter
“Technical specifications “
The max. number of connected fixtures depends on the AC mains power voltage and fixture version:
EU version (CE)
US version (ETL)
15 fixtures at power supply= 230V
9 fixtures at power supply= 230V
13 fixtures at power supply= 208V
7 fixtures at power supply= 208V
7 fixtures at power supply= 120V
4 fixtures at power supply= 120V
Actual numbers of fixtures may differ from values stated above as you have to take into account the length of
supply cables, circuit breaker etc. at projecting of the fixtures installation.
Do not overload the supply line and the connecting leads.
Wiring and connection work must be carried out by qualified staff!
