System Cables - Syncrolite Profile 3 Series Manual

System Cables
DMX Cables
All Syncrolite products use DMX protocol. We recommend a maximum DMX cable length of
2000', though the system will operate up to 1 mile from the DMX source with quality cable and
a DMX splitter. For architectural Series units, Syncrolite provides a 6‐way and 12‐way DMX
splitter. These are necessary in systems in which Syncrolite status monitor products are used‐
normally in large fixed installations.
AC Power Cables/Feeder
Syncrolite power distros accept standard Camloc five wire input (3 phases, ground, neutral) and
distribute output to Syncrolite ballasts via 8/5 wire with a Hubbell twist lock connector. Euro
power distros accept Powerlock mains inputs and are equipped with ground fault protection.
CAUTION: make sure you use the correct color input with the correct output. Failure
to do so could cause a fire or other serious injuries.
Lamphead Power Cables
DC lamp power is provided between the ballast and lamphead via a pair of Camloc connectors
on #1 AWG entertainment cable, triped with a proprietary Syncrolite cable employing 9‐pin
Amp male and female line connections providing data and AC for robot and electronics power.
ST Series lampheads in fixed or permanent installations can also be hard wired via appropriate
cabling and conduit.
AC Power
The 8/5 AC provides power from the distro to the ballast. It contains five inputs (3 phases,
ground, neutral) and distributes output to the ballasts with a Hubbell twist lock connector.
Tail
The tails will normally be hanging down from the generator or house power for you to connect
the female feeder into the tail.
