Floor Mounting The Luminaire; Connecting Data And Power - Philips VLX User Manual

Floor Mounting the Luminaire

The luminaire enclosure is sufficient to stabilize the luminaire in a floor installation,
provided that the mounting surface is flat and sturdy. Also, the area around the
luminaire must be free of debris and moisture.

Connecting Data and Power

A maximum of 32 luminaires may be connected in any one DMX data link.
Note: This maximum limit applies to the luminaire "daisy chain" only. Your system or console may
require fewer luminaires on a single data link path. Consult your console documentation for more
information.
To connect power and data:
Step 1. Connect data cable from console to first luminaire in chain at DATA IN connector.
Step 2. If required, connect additional data cables from DATA THRU connectors to DATA IN
connectors of remaining luminaires in link.
Step 3. At last luminaire in link, install male termination connector at DATA THRU connector.
(Luminaires and other devices on the same DMX chain may not function properly without
termination.)
Step 4. Connect AC input cable connector to fixture before connecting to power input source or
energizing power cable.
WARNING: DO NOT connect or disconnect energized power cable at fixture (under load). Turn off
circuit breaker (or completely de-energize circuit) before connecting or disconnecting power cable at
fixture. Power is only removed from the fixture by disconnecting power cable from source or turning
off source circuit breaker.
Step 5. Dress AC input and data cables and secure them so they do not interfere with luminaire head
and yoke movement.
Step 6. Be sure pan and tilt locks are disengaged (refer to
details) to allow full head and yoke movement.
