  • Page 26: Power And Data Cabling Requirements

    Power and Data Cabling Requirements AC Power WARNING: Do not power a VL1100CD ERS Luminaire from a dimmed circuit - even in "Non- Dim" mode. Dimmer and non-dim modules are not suitable sources of power because their output modifies the AC wave form. This may work for a short time, but will eventually result in power problems, luminaire mis-operation and/or failure.

  • Page 27: Data Cables

    NSTALLATION OWER AND ABLING EQUIREMENTS Data Cables The luminaire is equipped with two, 5-pin XLR connectors for DATA IN and DATA THRU (out) applications. DATA IN requires a 5-pin, female XLR connector and DATA THRU requires a 5-pin, male XLR connector. When purchasing or constructing data cables, it is important that not only the correct cable type be used, but also quality cable to ensure a reliable DMX512 system.

    ❋ VARI LITE - VL1100CD ERS L ’ UMINAIRE ANUAL Recommended Cable Types/Manufacturers These are only a few of the suitable cable types. Any quality EIA485, twisted pair, 120 ohm, shielded cable will also work. ∗ Type Pairs Jacket Temp (F) ZΩ...

  • Page 29: Dmx Termination Connector

    NSTALLATION OWER AND ABLING EQUIREMENTS DMX Termination Connector A male XLR DMX termination connector is required at the last luminaire (or "far end of the line") to prevent signal reflections. Signal reflections may cancel out the signal at certain line lengths, resulting in errors. The terminator is also necessary for software downloads and running tests on multiple luminaires.

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.

  • Page 36: Powering Up

    Power-Up and Configuration Overview First Power-Up When powering up a VL1100CD ERS Luminaire for the first time, the lamp type and shutter settings must be configured. This procedure will usually happen prior to delivery. However, in the event that it has not been done or if the Main Controller Board has been replaced, it will be necessary.

  • Page 37: Standard Power Up Procedure

    NSTALLATION OWERING Standard Power Up Procedure Use this procedure when powering up a luminaire that has already been configured. (Refer to “Power- Up and Configuration Overview” on page 20.) Note: Refer to Chapter 4: Menu System for detailed instructions on menu functions. CAUTION: Before applying power, be sure the luminaire is hung or positioned so that the head and yoke can move freely without restriction.
