    A dedicated control unit for the Alien 05 series. Oracle Note that in this document we refer to Alien 05 Recessed, Alien 05 Eyeball and Alien 05 Stem Mount models collectively as “Alien 05” luminaires. The following sections in this chapter describe rules and concepts needed to design and implement an Alien 05 installation - specifically regrading data and power.

  • Page 7: Control Network Cabling

    C o n t r o l n e t w o r k c a b l i n g An Alien 05 must be connected to an 05 Driver unit (directly, or indirectly via an 05 Repeater unit) that contains the intelligent control functions. The 05 Driver transmits commands to the Alien 05 luminaires via CAT5 network cables (also available separately).
  • Page 8 Laying control network cables Lay network cables from as many of the 05 Driver’s, or 05 Repeater’s, six output channel sockets as is necessary to the Alien 05 mounting positions. Start with the locations closest to the 05 Driver or 05 Repeater.

  • Page 9: Ac Power

    AC p o wer Each Alien 05 draws 50 watts of power at 4.2 amps from an electronic transformer that supplies 12 volt AC at 50 or 60 hertz (only supplied with bases for the Alien 05 Stem Mount). If you are installing multiple Alien 05s you can use one or more transformers, specified to the number of Alien 05s power is being supplied to.
  • Page 10 Do not draw more than 10 amps through the 05 Driver mains relay. If the mains supply is under 200 volts and the number of connected Alien 05’s is over 15, check that the combined current draw of all transformers will not exceed 10 A.
  • Page 11 Connecting transformers to a power supply Supplying power through the 05 Driver to the transformers that power the Alien 05 luminaires is optional and transformers may be connected directly to the mains supply if there is no requirement for remote dimming or power/on via the 05 Driver.
