The COLORrail™ IRC IP has an auto-ranging power supply and it can work with an
input voltage range of 100–240 VAC, 50/60 Hz.
To determine the product's power requirements (circuit breaker, power outlet, and
wiring), use the current value listed on the label affixed to the product's back panel, or
refer to the product's specifications chart. The listed current rating indicates the
product's average current draw under normal conditions.
Always connect the product to a GFI protected circuit (circuit breaker or fuse).
Make sure the product has an appropriate electrical ground to avoid the risk of
electrocution or fire.
Never connect the product to a rheostat (variable resistor) or dimmer circuit, even
if the rheostat or dimmer channel serves only as a 0 to 100% switch.
The product provides a power linking option via the pigtails located on the back of the
unit.
You can daisy chain up to 15 units on 120 VAC or up to 28 units on 230 VAC.
If you choose not to use the power linking feature, be sure to use the included screw on
cap to prevent any water from getting into the power cords.
The power linking diagram shown above corresponds to the North American
version of the product ONLY! If using the product in other markets, you must
consult with the local CHAUVET® distributor as power linking connectors and
requirements may differ in your country or region.
Before mounting the product, read and follow the safety recommendations indicated in
the Safety Notes.
The COLORrail™ IRC IP may be mounted in any position; however, make sure
adequate ventilation is provided around the product.
•
Before deciding on a location for the product, always make sure there is easy
access to the product for maintenance and programming purposes.
•
Make sure that the structure or surface onto which you are mounting the product
can support the product's weight. Please see the Technical Specifications section of
this manual for weight information.
•
When mounting the product overhead, always use a safety cable. Mount the
product securely to a rigging point, whether an elevated platform or a truss.
•
When rigging the product onto a truss, you should use a mounting clamp of
appropriate weight capacity. The bracket has a 13 mm hole, which is appropriate for
this purpose.
•
When power linking multiple products, you must always consider the length of the
power linking cable and mount the products close enough for the cable to reach.
•
The bracket adjustment knobs allow for directional adjustment when aiming the
product to the desired angle. Only loosen or tighten the bracket knobs manually.
Using tools could damage the knobs.
