BALLAST CONNECTIONS

Power
ALLEGRA-C™ ballasts are fitted with two power inlets:
A Neutrik powerCON TRUE1 NAC3MPX-TOP type
connector for mains power.
This inlet is switched and fused. The power cable should
be plugged into ALLEGRA-C™ before switching the
mains power supply ON. The mains power supply should
be switched OFF before removing the power cable. Use
only Neutrik connectors for power cords. It is the user's
responsibility to ensure the power cord is maintained in good
condition and any physical damage is addressed.
A Neutrik 3 pin XLR connector for a 24 - 36V DC source.
Ensure that the input voltage does not exceed 36V,
otherwise damage to the ballast may result. DC wiring is as
follows:

24 - 36VDC

The ALLEGRA-C™ ballast switches automatically between
AC and DC power. If AC and DC power is applied at the
same time, the ALLEGRA-C™ ballast will use the AC
source.

A Neutrik 8+2 pole XLR provides data and power to the
ALLEGRA-C™ head. Allegra 250C ballasts have 1 output
and Allegra 450C ballasts have 2 outputs. When driving one
head from an Allegra 450C ballast, use output A.
