Start the Installation
1. Verify that all supporting equipment (switches, controllers) is in place.
2. Ensure that all additional parts and tools are available, including:
• Power cable using included PowerCon connector
• If installing in series, a sufficient number and length of XLR-5, Ethercon, or
RJ45 cable for data connections
• If installing in series, a sufficient length of 3-wire cable for power, and a
sufficient number of Neutrik PowerCon locking 3-pole power connectors,
Use Neutrik NAC3FCA Power Connector Type A (blue connector) for power
input, and Neutrik NAC3FCB Power Connector Type B (gray connector) for
power output. We recommend 12 AWG (3.3 mm
2
) stranded copper wire.
• If installing in series in a DMX network, a DMX terminator
• C-clamps, bases, or other hardware for pipe, truss, or floor mounting, as
needed
Mount Fixtures
ColorBlaze TRX fixtures come with an attached mounting trunion or mounting feet
designed for 1/2 in mounting hardware. Fixtures can be mounted to a surface or to a
pipe or truss with standard pipe clamps or Cheeseborough clamps.
Ensure that the installation is suitable and safe and that the hardware is properly
rated for the task. When mounting ColorBlaze TRX fixtures on the floor or a base,
also ensure that the fixture sits flush to the surface.
The three holes in each foot of the 6 ft fixture, and in the mounting trunion of the 2
ft fixture, provide a clearance for a 1/2 in bolt for mounting to a pipe, truss, weighted
base, or floor using a standard theatrical C-clamp or other mounting hardware.

When a fixture is hung upside down or
is hard to access, you can flip the orientation
of the menu display so that it appears right
side up to the operator. Refer to page 23
for details.

Because 6 ft ColorBlaze TRX fixtures
are bulky and weigh 43 lb (19.5 kg), you
may need two people to position and install
each fixture in its mounting location.

We recommend using 22 AWG 5-pin
XLR shielded cable with all five pins wired.
