Transferring Software From Luminaire to Luminaire
It is possible to transfer specific software versions between luminaires. As in the case of installing new
software versions, multiple luminaires can be programmed at the same time if they are data linked
together (refer to
“Connecting Data and Power” on page 28 ), however a maximum of 32 luminaires
can be updated at once.
Hardware Requirements
Data cables used in this process must have two twisted pairs and a shield. It is also recommended that
cables meet all other USITT DMX specification requirements. Refer to
“Data Cables” on page 17 .
A DMX termination connector is used in this process. Refer to page 18 for more information regarding
the construction of this connector.
