3. POWER AND DATA WIRING
3.1 Data Wiring
The ProPoint Vista 100W luminaire is supplied with a 1.8 meter (6 foot) long data cable. This cable may be field-
cut to the required length by the installer.
The ProPoint Vista 100W luminaire utilizes a “daisy chain” wiring topology for DMX data communication. Data
connections are made via the DMX input and output wiring pairs in the data cable. Utilization of a “star” wiring
topology (via t-taps, y-cables, etc.) is not permitted.
Installed data cabling shall conform to the requirements outlined in ANSI E1.11 Entertainment Technology – USITT
DMX512-A, Asynchronous Serial Digital Data Transmission Standard for Controlling Lighting Equipment and
Accessories. All cabling shall utilize stranded conductors.
Solid core conductors shall not be used and can
result in denial of warranty.
A maximum of 32 ProPoint luminaires may be connected to a DMX data line. The maximum overall data line length
(from DMX controller to the last unit in the daisy chain) is 300m (984ft).
WARNING
Risk of electrical shock. Ensure that branch circuit power is disconnected prior to performing
installation or inspection of data wiring.
CAUTION
Make sure that the cable is protected from cuts and abrasions that may result in damage to
the outer jacket.
CAUTION
IP failure induced by stressed/damaged cable entry points during or after installation will void
the product warranty.
NOTICE
A voltage divider is recommended and may be required by local electrical code)
when a single junction box is utilized for both power supply and data cable
termination.
NOTICE
Cable bend radius must NOT be less than the Minimum Bending Radius (4 x Cable
Diameter) as specified by cable manufacturer and the Non-Bendable Length of 5cm
(2in) near the cable gland MUST be adhered to. In addition to the Minimum Bending
Radius, ensure that 5cm (2in) of cable at the connector junction is kept straight
Installation Steps
1. Determine the required length of data cable. Make sure to account for cable management (routing, drip loops,
etc.) prior to removal of unneeded cable.
2. Make sure that there is sufficient cable to account for thermal expansion and contraction.
3. Insert the data cable into the pole. The cable entry points shall be protected with fittings suitable
for maintaining a water-tight installation.
NOTICE
The use of RTV silicone is required at all terminal box penetration points.
4. Connect the luminaire DMX input and output conductors to the contractor installed DMX wiring.
NOTICE
All data wire connections shall be made using cage clamp style connectors
included in the termination kit (ordered separately). Wire nut connections of the data
conductors shall not be used and will void the warranty.
