Connecting Power and Data

Connecting Power

The luminaire requires standard AC power distribution from 200-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz. Current required depends on the AC supply voltage 

and product model. Refer to 

“Current vs. Voltage” on page 8

 for all models covered in this manual.

Note:  

The mating Neutrik® powerCON® True1 connector is supplied; however, you will need to purchase or construct a cable appropriate 

for your application. Available power input cables is found in 

“Replacement Items/Accessories” on page 8

.

Figure 2:  Power Connector

Depending on the application, the luminaire’s AC input cable may require a different connector. If required, install a new connector meeting 

your requirements using the following wire color code reference:

WARNING:  

DO NOT connect to three-phase service in countries with 240 volt power. 

AVERTISSEMENT:

 NE PAS se connecter au 

service en trois phases dans les pays avec puissance de 240 volts.

For single-phase power at 240 volts RMS:

For three-phase power at 200 volts RMS:

WARNING:  

It is not recommended to power any VARI

LITE luminaire from a dimmer - even in 'NONDIM' mode. Dimmer and non-dim 

modules are not suitable sources of power because their output modifies the AC wave form. This may work for a short time, but will 
eventually result in power problems, luminaire mis-operation and/or failure and may void the luminaire’s warranty. 

AVERTISSEMENT: 

Il 

n'est pas recommandé pour alimenter un luminaire VARI

LITE d'un gradateur - même en mode 'NONDIM’. Modules de gradation et non 

sombres ne sont pas des sources appropriées de pouvoir parce que leur production modifie la forme d'onde AC. Cela peut fonctionner 
pendant une courte période, mais finira par entraîner des problèmes d'alimentation, luminaires mauvais fonctionnement et / ou l'échec et peut 
annuler la garantie de l'appareil.
