powercables
Power input and throughput cables must have a 20 A minimum rating, have three conductors with a minimum
conductor size of 1.5 mm² (16 AWG) and an outer cable diameter of 5 - 15 mm. Cables must have a hard
usage type jacket (SJT or equivalent) and be heat- resistant to a 90°C minimum. In the EU, the cable must be HAR
approved or equivalent.
If you install a power plug on the power cable, install a grounding-type (earthed) plug that has 20 A minimum rating.
Follow the plug manufacturer's instructions. Table 1 shows the standard wire color-coding schemes and some
possible pin identification schemes; if the pins are not clearly identified, or if you have any doubts

Relaying power to other devices
Warning! Do not connect more than ten fixtures in total to an AC mains power, in one interconnected chain.
Power can be relayed to another device via the light-grey PowerCON TRUE
If you daisy chain the fixtures so that they all draw from the AC mains power via the first fixture, certain points
must be respected:
• A heavy duty, three-conductor, 16 AWG or 1.5 mm2 cable with SJT or equivalent cable jacket must be used
to connect the first fixture to AC mains power.
•

• No matter what the AC mains power voltage is, do not connect more than ten fixture fixtures in total (i.e. including
the first fixture) to the AC mains power in one interconnected daisy chain using power input and through out
connectors.
DATA LINK
A DMX 512 data link is required in order to control a fixture via DMX. The fixture has 5-pin XLR connectors for
DMX data input and output. The pin-out on all connectors is pin 1 = shield, pin 2 = cold (-), and pin 3 = hot (+)
Pins 4 and 5 in the 5-pin XLR connectors are not used.
tips for reliable data transmission
To connect the fixture to data:
1. Connect the DMX data output from the controller to the closest fixture's male 5-pin XLR DMX input connector.
2. Connect the DMX output of the fixture closest to the controller to the DMX input of the next fixture and continue
connecting fixtures, output to input.
