Using unified power and DMX control links, Terra Linear fixtures can be rapidly daisy-chained in long runs. All standard mains voltages are directly supported or, to achieve impressive single runs up to 700 linear feet (213m), Terra Linear can be driven by Acclaim Lighting’s XTR Driver. -

I NSTA LL ATI ON MOUNTING For each Terra Linear fixture, an in-ground aluminum sleeve of the same length is required (see page 3 for part codes and page 28 for dimensions). Sleeves feature a removable 2” rubber knockout at each end as well as an aluminum pour cover along the upper surface, which fully protects the internal chamber while surface work is in progress. -
Page 8: Surface Preparation And Drainage
SURFACE PREPAR ATION A ND D R A IN AGE Correct surface preparation is essential to ensure that the required walk- or drive-over rating is achieved (see page 5), as well as sufficient drainage to prevent permanent flooding of the chamber(s). Each sleeve should be mounted into a level surface that is free draining, such as a permeable stone/gravel mix. -

DMX GND are both tied to true earth. Power cores: 14 AWG / 2.5mm Always follow these steps when using Terra Linear cabling: • Ensure that the power input is isolated from the mains supply. • At each connection, remove the cover caps from both the socket and plug. -
Page 14: Interconnecting
IN T ERCONN EC T I NG Terra Linear fixtures have two 18” (450mm) composite power/control leads - an input at one end and a output at the other. Fixtures can be directly daisy-chained or alternatively an optional link cable can be used between any two fixtures to make up a gap. -

Page 21: Dmx Control Considerations
D M X CO N TROL CONSIDER ATIONS The maximum number of fixtures that can be uniquely addressed in a run is determined by the length, emitter type and operation mode (see page 23) of each linear fixture, as summarized in the tables below. Additionally, any number of fixtures can be configured to use duplicate control addresses, as required. -
Page 22: Tips For Achieving Successful Dmx Control
T IP S FO R AC HIEVIN G SU CCESSF UL D MX CO NT ROL • Acclaim Lighting recommends a maximum DMX / RDM run of 1,500’ (457m) without buffering. • Attach an end cap [Part #: TLAEC] to the output connector of the final fixture. The end cap will correctly terminate the DMX signal (and will also safely seal off the power bus). -

DMX; usually a maximum of 32 fixtures is possible before the signal-to-noise ratio threatens to affect operation. That is why Terra Linear fixtures act as their own signal isolator and conditioner before passing the control feed down the line. The result is a clean, reliable and [still] industry-standard control solution right to the end of the line. -

Page 25: Dmx Cell Addressing
D MX CELL A DDR ESSI NG The actual alignment of Terra Linear fixture cells to DMX addressing is determined by the base address (see page 22) and, for 4’ models, also the chosen cell mode (personality). For a fixture assigned with a start address of 1, the DMX addresses for each color of each cell are listed below. -

Page 27: Testing Emitter Output
TESTING EMI TT ER O U TP U T After you have addressed each Terra Linear fixture we recommend that you also test each one prior to installation. This can be achieved with your RDM (Remote Device Management) tool. Various third party DMX/RDM tools are available; we recommend the Acclaim Lighting XMT-350 for this task. -
