Mounting
This fixture may be mounted in any safe position.
The fixture includes a mounting yoke to which a rigging clamp can be attached. You must supply your own
clamp and make sure the clamp is capable of supporting the weight of this fixture. lt is recommended to
use at least 2 mounting points per fixture. You can order “C” and “O”-clamps.
Note: There are 2 types of applications for this fixture: floor stand for up lighting, and overhead use for
down lighting. lf you are using this fixture for up lighting, then you must use at least 1 safety cable/chain for
each fixture in addition to the mounting brackets..
1. lf hanging the fixture for over head use, then please follow the below steps.
2. Block access below the work area and use suitable and stable platform when installing or servicing
fixture.
3. Safety cables must always be used, secured through safety cable attachment. The safety cable must be
capable of holding 10 times the weight of the fixture.
4. Verify the structure can hold 10 times the weight of all to-be install fixtures.
After prolonged periods of operation, the fixture chassis may reach high temperatures. This fixture must be
mounted in a ventilated location, as it is convection cooled.
Note:
Hanging clamp soid separately
Fixture Linking
You will need a serial data link to run light shows of one or more fixtures using a DMX-512 controller to run
synchronized shows on two or more fixtures.
Important: 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 devices should be connected 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 meters
(1640 ft.) Maximum recommended number of fixtures on a serial data link: 32 fixtures
Data Cabling
To link fixtures together you must obtain data cables. You can purchase certified DMX cables directly from
a dealer/distributor or construct your own cable. If you choose to create your own cable please use data-
grade cables that can carry a high
Quality signal and are less prone to electromagnetic interference.
DMX DATA CABLE
Use a DMX AES cable or equivalent cable which meets the specifications for EIA RS-485 applications.
Standard microphone cables cannot transmit DMX data reliably over long distances. The cable will have
the following characteristics:
2-conductor twisted pair plus a shield
Maximum capacitance between conductors 30 pF/ft.
Maximum capacitance between conductor and shield 55 pF/ft.
Maximum resistance of 20 ohms / 1000 ft.
Nominal impedance 100 140 ohms
