Interconnecting - Acclaim Lighting Linear XTR User Manual

INTERCONNECTING

Each Linear XTR fixture has a short
cabled input connector at one end and
an integral output socket at the other.
When fixtures are daisy-chained (end to
end), the input plug of one fixture can
connect directly to the output socket of
the previous fixture. Alternatively, where
fixtures are not abutted, an optional link
cable can be used to make up the gap
between any two fixtures.
Note: When two fixtures are to be placed
end to end, it may be necessary to push
the fixtures and cables together while
attaching to the mounting surface
in order to ensure a seamless gap.
Please read and adhere to
all of the advice points
listed below.
HIGH VOLTAGE
Always follow these steps when using XTR cabling:
• Ensure that the power input is isolated from the mains supply.
• At each connection, release the cover caps from both the socket and plug.
• Align the orientation marks of the socket and plug - and then push them together so that
the blue lock ring clicks fully into place.
• As each connection is made, ensure that the connector is fully locked onto the socket.
• Any unused output ports must have their cover cap securely fixed in place.
• Do not exceed the stated maximum fixtures in a daisy chain - see page 9.
• At the final fixture in a daisy-chain run, install an XTR End Cap (see page 3) to
seal off the power bus and also correctly terminate the DMX control feed.
• To release a connection, ensure that the power input is isolated, then twist the blue lock
ring of the plug counter-clockwise to release the connection.
