Installing power connectors on the input cable
It is possible to install a cord cap / mains power plug that is suitable for your local
convenience receptacles / power sockets on the supplied power input cable. If you
do this, check that the cord cap / plug is rated minimum 250 V, 16 A, that it has a
connection to ground / earth and that it has an integral cable grip. Follow the cord
cap / plug manufacturer's assembly instructions.
If you need to install a Neutrik powerCON TRUE1 connector on a power cable, follow
the instructions given on the Neutrik website at www.neutrik.com.
Respect the color coding used in the supplied power cable and in your local mains
power wiring system. US and EU systems use the color coding shown below:

Control data

The impression X5 can be controlled via USITT512 DMX over a standard DMX cable
link, Art-Net network or sACN network. The fixture's Protocol Setup control menu
lets you configure the fixture for control using one of these protocols (see the
impression X5 User Manual available online at www.glp.de for details).
If you would like advice with planning and installing a suitable control link, your GLP
supplier will be happy to provide assistance.
DMX over a standard DMX cable link
See 'Overview' on page 12. The fixture has 5-pin XLR IN and THRU sockets for
connection to a DMX cable link. Connectors use standard DMX pinout:
● Pin 1 = Ground
● Pin 2 = Negative / data cold
● Pin 3 = Positive / data hot.
● Pins 4 and 5 are not used.
To link fixtures in cabled DMX daisy-chains using their XLR connectors, use certified
DMX cable only.
Art-Net and sACN over a network cable link
See 'Overview' on page 12. The fixture has two Ethernet ports for connection to an
Art-Net or sACN network. Both ports use GLP's fail-safe technology which allows data
to flow through the fixture even if the fixture is powered off. If the fixture is powered
on, the ports behave as a switch. If the fixture is powered off, both EtherCON ports
operate simply as IN/THRU ports.
To link fixtures in Art-Net daisy-chains, use CAT 6 or higher Ethernet cable.
