Current vs. Voltage

Table 1-2, VL6000 Beam Luminaire - Current vs. Voltage (1500W Lamp)

 provides the luminaire’s current draw at specific voltages. 

Total Luminaire Current is calculated with the lamp on and all motors sequencing.

 

WARNING:  

It is the responsibility of the user to adequately protect supply source with a correct size and type circuit breaker and not 

overload circuits. 

AVERTISSEMENT:

 Il est de la responsibilité de l'utilisateur de protéger adéquatement la source d'alimentation avec une 

taille correcte et le disjoncteur de type et surchargez pas les circuits.

Connecting Data

A maximum of 32 luminaires may be connected in any one DMX data link.

Note:  

This maximum limit applies to the luminaire "daisy chain" only. Your system or console may require fewer luminaires on a single data 

link path. Consult your console documentation for more information.

To connect power and data:

Step

1. Connect data cable from console to first luminaire in chain at DATA IN connector.

Step

2. If required, connect additional data cables from DATA THRU connectors to DATA IN connectors of remaining luminaires in 

link.

Step

3. At last luminaire in link, install male termination connector at DATA THRU connector. (Luminaires and other devices on the 

same DMX chain may not function properly without termination.)

Step

4. Connect AC Input Cable connector to power input source.

Step

5. Dress AC input and data cables and secure them so that they will not interfere with luminaire head and yoke movement.
