Installation and connection requirements
The Ayra TDC Diamond Scan is a versatile product and can be used in many ways. To use this device as
intended and to be sure that the product is used in a safe way, the following requirements must be met
during the set-up, installation and connection of the device.
Standing installation
The Ayra TDC Diamond Scan can not directly be installed on a platform without proper mounting gear.
Usually, most light effects have built in rubber feet so they can also be installed on a DJ booth. However, the
TDC Diamond scan has its heat sink, connections and a safety eye on the bottom which makes this
impossible.
If you really want to place the TDC Diamond Scan on a DJ booth, the integrated bracket can be positioned
underneath the unit and by using a floor stand (not included), there can be a solid platform for the device to
rest on.
Hanging installation
The TDC Diamond Scan has an integrated mounting bracket, equipped with three holes for hardware
mounting. Ayra recommends the use of 2 clamps to mount the TDC Scan, especially if the unit is facing
forward and no swiveling is required when installed on a truss or lighting T-bar.
It is also possible to mount one hook in the centre of the bracket. For any hanging setup, the device needs to
be equipped with a safety cable which is properly mounted to the safety eyebolt of the unit and the structure
that the fixture is mounted to.
The safety cable must be able to withstand a minimum force of 10 times the weight of the fixture.
Furthermore, the safety cable must be short, so the unit can not fall very far or and swing around too much,
due to the length of the cable. The unit should not be able to fall more than 30 cm. If necessary, wrap your
safety cable around your structure again.
Transport and storage
The TDC Diamond Scan can be transported directly after shut-down. As the light sources of the TDC
Diamond Scan do not need time to cool down, the device can be stored and transported instantly.
During transport, the device must be securely protected to ensure it stays reliable and in optimal shape.
Always use the original box and packaging material to transport the unit, or a fitting flight case or flight bag if
the device is transported frequently during mobile use.
Power input and output
The TDC Diamond Scan is provided with an extra power output. This makes daisy chaining of several
lighting effects possible.
The output of the TDC Diamond Scan can handle a maximum power of 2000W. This equals around 8.9A
based on a 230V AC, 50 Hz connection. A maximum of 20 TDC Diamond Scans may be connected in daisy
chain on the main TDC Diamond Scan.
Please be aware that no equipment with a power consumption larger than 2000W should be connected to
the output of the TDC Diamond Scan. The IEC C13/C14 chassis connectors can only withstand a maximum
current of 10A on 230V AC, 50 Hz and the included power cable only has cores of 3x 1mm². If this current is
larger, there is a chance of melting connectors and/or cables. Ayra can not be held responsible for any
damage and/or injuries caused by improper use of the power outlets.
If you want to connect more than 20 TDC Diamond Scan fixtures or larger equipment, the connection to a
power outlet must be renewed.
Please note that the IEC C13/C14 connectors are not 'hot-swappable'. This means that the connectors may
not be pulled out of the chassis if the cable is still connected to a power output socket.
