INSTALLATION AND SET UP 1. Power Requirements The SL NITRO 510C LED STROBE Luminaire operates on AC input voltages from 100 to 240 VAC. WARNING! This unit does not contain an ON/OFF switch. Always disconnect power input cable to completely remove power from unit when not in use.
Table 2 on page 8 describes how to connect power to your SL NITRO 510C LED STROBE Luminaire. Field wiring of the SL NITRO 510C LED STROBE Luminaire is straight forward. A total of 3 wires/conductors is supplied from the unit.
DMX connector on the first SL NITRO 510C LED STROBE Luminaire. Another cable runs from the other DMX connector on the first unit to a DMX connector on the next SL NITRO 510C LED STROBE Luminaire (or DMX512 device to be controlled).
5. Connecting & Mounting Multiple Luminaires SL NITRO 510C LED STROBE Luminaires include a built-in Quick Connect system that allows the luminaires to be physically connected together while retaining perfect pixel pitch. Units may be connected in top-to-bottom or side- by-side to allow for a wide range of configurations.
WARNING! Your structure must be capable of properly supporting the weight of multiple connected fixtures. Each fixture must use an approved safety cable attached to a fixed object. Up to twenty SL NITRO 510C LED STROBE Luminaires may be supported when connected using the Quick Connect system. When connecting units together, ensure all Quick-Connect pins are in the "engaged"...
6. Mounting SL NITRO 510C LED STROBE Luminaire with Other Luminaires The SL NITRO 510C LED STROBE Luminaire and SL BAR 520 LED Luminaire are designed to be connected together top-to-bottom and/or end-to-end using the same connecting hardware. The pixels of the SL BAR 520 LED Luminaire and the zones of the SL NITRO 510C LED STROBE Luminaire will be perfectly aligned when connected via the built-in connecting hardware.
