5. AC mains power
Warning! Read 'Safety' starting on page 5 for important safety information that
you must understand before you install or operate the fixture.
Check that all cables and connectors are suitable for the installation
environment and application (see recommendations in 'Avoiding damage to
the fixture' on page 10).
Use H07 RN-F 3 x 2.5mm / SJT 12 AWG cables with TRUE1 compatible connectors
to supply power to fixtures.
Line up the keyways in connectors carefully. Do not try to insert or twist a
connector if it feels excessively stiff. Resistance to insertion or twisting is a sign
that connectors may be incorrectly lined up.
Keep connectors sealed with their rubber caps at all times when not in use.
Included items
The XPAR 12Z is supplied with a power cord with a TRUE1 compatible connector.
Connecting to power
The AC mains power supply must include a connection to ground / protective earth. It must
be protected against ground / earth leakage and overload. The fixture's internal auto-
sensing power supply accepts AC power at 100-240 V, 50/60 Hz. Do not connect the fixture
to power at any other voltage or to an external dimmer.
The XPAR 12Z does not have a power ON/OFF switch. Power is applied to the fixture as soon
as the power cable becomes live.
The XPAR 12Z has a 3-conductor TRUE1 compatible Mains IN power input socket that
accepts AC power from a TRUE1 female cable connector. Although TRUE1 connectors
support hot plugging, it is still good practice to shut down power to power cables before
connecting them to fixtures.
To connect the fixture to power:
1. If convenient, shut down power to the power input cable.
2. Note the position of the keys and keyways on the TRUE1 power cable connector and
Mains IN socket and align them with each other. Insert the cable connector into the
socket and twist clockwise to lock. Do not use force. If the connector feels excessively
stiff, remove it and check again that it is lined up correctly.
3. Before applying power to the power cable, check that nobody is looking directly into
the front of the fixture.
To disconnect the fixture from power, pull the latch on the cable connector outwards to
release it, then twist the connector counterclockwise and pull to remove it from the socket.
Installing power connectors
If you intend to draw power from convenience receptacles / consumer mains power
sockets, it is possible to install a suitable cord cap / power plug on the supplied power cord
/ input cable. If you do this, check that the cord cap / plug is rated minimum 250 V, 16 A,
