Ensure that: • The mains input is derived from a suitable overload-protected supply. • Only suitable cable connectors are used within the junction boxes; Acclaim Lighting recommends Wago® 221-series splicing connectors (or similar). • Local codes are followed during planning and installation. Some municipalities have specific requirements when wiring low and high voltage cables in close proximity.
I NTERCONNE C TI NG Each Adapt Linear DMX fixture has a male input plug at one end and a female output socket at the other. When fixtures are daisy chained in an end to end configuration, the input plug of one fixture can connect directly to the output socket of the previous fixture.
