Sleeves feature four removable 2” rubber knockouts as well as an acrylic pour cover for the upper surface, which fully protects the internal chamber while surface work is in progress.

    DMX GND are both tied to true earth. Power cores: 14 AWG / 2.5mm Always follow these steps when using Terra Drum 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 16: Interconnecting

    IN T ERCONN EC T I NG Terra Drum 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 17: Optional Ajbox1 Conduit Connections

    The separate power and control input connections can be made on the other side of these connector blocks. IMPORTANT: The AJBOX1 is rated for maximum voltages up to 277VAC. For further details, please see: • Page 13 for wire colors. • Acclaim Lighting AJBOX1 user guide (https://acclaimlighting.com/ajbox1). www.acclaimlighting.com...

  • Page 18: Run Lengths - Fixture Maximum

    RU N L ENGTHS - F IXTURE MA XIMUM The maximum number of fixtures that can be driven in a single run is determined by the supply voltage and the collective power requirements for the fixtures. Fixtures with differing LED color options can be mixed freely as they all adhere to the same power specifications (within their EO/SO/HO types).

  • Page 19: Important Cabling Considerations

    It should be noted that those limits are imposed only by the power characteristics. Acclaim Lighting recommends a maximum DMX / RDM control run length to the first Terra Drum fixture of no longer than 1,500’ (457m) without buffering.

  • Page 20: Control

    CONTRO L IN PUTS VIA CON VER TERS • DMX - connect a DMX input directly into the feed cable. • 0-10V - use an Acclaim Lighting ZDM 6 (or similar) to convert one or more analog control feeds into a combined DMX feed¹.

    T I PS FO R AC HIEVIN G SU CCESSF UL DMX CO NT RO L • 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).

  • Page 22: Optional Wireless Control

    OP T IO N AL W IRELESS CONTROL Using optional Acclaim Lighting Aria modules it is possible to wirelessly transmit a DMX signal to a Terra Drum run over distances up to 2600 feet (792m). Note: RDM is not supported via Aria wireless.

    DMX; usually a maximum of 32 fixtures is possible before the signal-to-noise ratio threatens to affect operation. That is why Terra Drum 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: Testing Fixtures

    TESTING FIXT UR ES After you have addressed each Terra Drum 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.
