12 KNV Dot and Line Quick Start and Safety Manual Rev. A
IP rating
KNV fixtures and the KNV PSU are IP54-rated:
•
IP stands for Ingress (entry into the fixture) Protection.
•
The figure 5 in the rating means that products are protected against the entry of
solid bodies larger than 1 mm (fingers, tools, etc.) and have limited protection
against the entry of dust and airborne particles.
•
The figure 4 in the rating means that products are protected against the entry of
rain and water spray (splashing) that arrives from vertically above or at an angle of
up to 60° from vertically above the product. Products are not protected against
immersion in water and they are not protected against low or high-pressure water
jets.
Avoiding damage from water and humidity
•
Do not install KNV fixtures or PSUs in a location where water can pool around them
or allow them to become submerged in any other way. Do not aim low- or high-
pressure water jets at them.
•
Keep all unused connectors sealed with their protective caps, both when the
product is being used and when it is not in use.
•
In outdoor and high-humidity environments, use IP65-rated power and data
connectors and cable (an IP65 rating means that the item is protected against the
entry of water from rain, projections and low-pressure jets as well as the entry of
dust). When assembling connectors and installing them on cable, follow the
manufacturer’s instructions (see www.neutrik.com) and ensure that an IP65 rating is
maintained for the complete assembly.
•
Use only the following IP65-rated connectors at the KNV PSU:
-
Neutrik NAC3FX-W to connect to POWER IN
-
Neutrik NAC3MX-W to connect to POWER THRU.
-
Neutrik NC5FX-TOP to connect to DMX IN (5-pin XLR)
-
Neutrik NC5MX-TOP to connect to DMX THRU (5-pin XLR)
-
Neutrik NE8MX6 to connect to data IN and THRU Ethernet ports
•
Use only the cables supplied by GLP for the KNV Dot and Line products to connect
Dot and Line fixtures to the PSU and to each other.
•
Apply a dielectric grease (available from most electrical suppliers) to connector
terminals and caps to prevent corrosion and/or electrical short circuits.
•
Make sure that cables open into dry areas or sealed junction boxes. Moisture can
be drawn along cables by capillary action or pressure variations resulting from
thermal expansion.
•
Create loose cable bends (recommended minimum bend radius 5 cm / 2 ins.) only.
Do not subject connections to bending forces or allow connections to bear the
weight of long lengths of cable.
