WARNING!
It is not recommended to power any Vari-Lite luminaire from a dimmer - even in ‘NONDIM’ mode.
Dimmer and non-dim modules are not suitable sources of power because their output modifi es the AC wave
form. This may work for a short time, but will eventually result in power problems, luminaire mis-operation and/
or failure and may void the luminaire’s warranty.
CURRENT VS. VOLTAGE
Total Luminaire Current is calculated with the LED on and all motors sequencing.
WARNING!
It is the responsibility of the user to adequately protect supply source with a correct size and type
circuit breaker and not overload circuits.

CONNECTING DATA
A maximum of 32 luminaires may be connected in any one DMX data link.
NOTE:
This maximum limit applies to the luminaire “daisy chain” only. Your system or console may require
fewer luminaires on a single data link path. Consult your console documentation for more information.
To connect power and data:
Step 1.
Connect data cable from console to fi rst luminaire in chain at DATA IN connector.
Step 2.
If required, connect additional data cables from DATA THRU connectors to DATA IN
Step 3.
At last luminaire in link, install male termination connector at DATA THRU connector. (Luminaires and
other devices on the same DMX chain may not function properly without termination)
