Electrical Connection (Hardwire)
WARNING
: Do not expose bare wires outside wire nut connectors.
1.
Per local or “National Electric Code”, provide electrical service to junction box
located on the housing.
a.
The insulation of supply wire must be rated for at least 90°C.
b.
Junction boxes should be rated
for:
i.
Max. 8 No. 12 AWG Circuit Conductors
ii.
Also suitable for at least 90°C
2.
Remove cover of junction box.
3.
Remove proper round pryout, and then connect junction box with (not included)
proper connector.
4.
Using properly sized wire nuts, connect lead wires of ju
nction box (line, neutral,
and ground) to supply lead wires in the fixture.
a.
WARNING: Do not leave bare conductors outside wire nut connectors.
5.
Connect green (from electrical service) to the supply side to the green wire in
the junction box. Connect black
-
to
-
brown
, and white
-
to
-
blue
.
a.
Any excess wiring and connectors should be put in the junction box.
Then, replace the cover.
N
OTE: Supply lead wires should not be connected to a dimmer of any sort.
Maximum power connection should not exceed
4 units.
Data Co
nnection
Note: Inline DMX amplifier required if run length exceeds: 125 feet between fixtures (others)
Note: Maximum run length from DMX controller to last fixture: 1000 feet.
Note: DMX must be continuous from controller to last fixture in a run. A spl
itter is needed if
signal is split.
Please follow below if provided data cables will not be used
Note: Fixtures on a serial data link must be daisy chained in one single line. To comply with
the EIA
-
485 standard, no more than 32 fixtures should be conne
cted on one data link.
Connecting more than 32 fixtures on one serial data link without the use of a DMX
optically
-
isolated splitter may result in deterioration of the digital DMX signal.
Maximum recommended serial data link distance: 500 m (1640 ft)
Maxi
mum recommended number of fixtures on a serial data link: 32
DMX Data Cable
If installer prefers 3
-
wire data cables, we suggest a Belden© 9481 or equivalent cable which meets the
specifications for EIA RS
-
485 applications. Standard microphone cables cann
ot transmit DMX data
reliably over long distances. The cable must have the following characteristics:
Type:
shielded, 2
-
conductor twisted pair
Maximum capacitance between conductors:
30 pF/ft
Maximum capacitance between conductor and shiel
d:
55 pF/ft
Maximum resistance:
20 ohms/1000ft
Normal impendance:
100
~
140 ohms
