Installing a power input connector on a power cable Housing Insert Chuck Bushing To install a Neutrik PowerCon NAC3FCA input connector on a power cable: 1. Slide the bushing over the cable. 2. Slide the white chuck over cables with a diameter (D ) of 5 - 10 mm (0.2 - 0.4 in.), or the black chuck over cables with a diameter of 10 - 15 mm (0.4 - 0.6 in.).
Data link A DMX 512 data link is required in order to control a A200 via DMX. The A200 has 3-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 (+). To add more fixtures or groups of fixtures when the above limit is reached, add a DMX universe and another daisy-chained link.
Physical installation Warning! The A200 must be either fastened to a flat surface such as a stage or wall, or clamped to a truss or similar structure in any orientation using a rigging clamp. Do not apply power to the fixture if it is standing freely or the fixture can be moved.
3. Block access under the work area. Working from a stable platform, hang the fixture on the truss with the arrow on the base towards the area to be illuminated. Tighten the rigging clamp. 4. Secure the fixture against clamp failure with a secondary attachment such as an approved safety cable that is rated for the weight of the fixture using one of the attachment points at the edges of the base (see “Fixture overview”...
Setup Warning! Read “Safety Information” on page 3 before installing, powering, operating or servicing the fixture. Control panel and menu navigation The onboard control panel and backlit graphic display are used to set the A200 's DMX address, configure individual fixture settings (personality), read out data and execute service utilities. See “Onboard control menus”...
Tailoring performance Pan and tilt movement The P/T SPEED settings set the maximum speed of pan and tilt movement. FAST optimizes for speed and SLOW optimizes for smoothness of movement. NORMAL is the default setting and gives a good compromise between these two. The PAN INVERT and TILT INVERT commands reverse the direction of pan and tilt, and the SWAP command sends pan commands to tilt and vice versa.
Operation and effects Warning! Read “Safety Information” starting on page 3 before installing, powering, operating or servicing the A200. This section describes only DMX control features that require particular explanation. See “DMX protocols” on page 19 for a full list of the DMX channels and values required to control the different effects. Effects Beam and Aura The A200 has two LED arrays:...
