AC power
Warning! Read the "Safety Information" section that starts on page 3 before connecting the
Stagebar 2 to AC power.
Warning! For protection from electric shock, the Stagebar 2 must be grounded (earthed). The power
distribution circuit must be equipped with a fuse or circuit breaker and ground-fault (earth-fault)
protection.
Warning! The Stagebar 2 does not have a power on/off switch. Socket outlets or external power
switches used to supply the Stagebar 2 with power must be located near the fixture and easily
accessible so that the fixtures can easily be disconnected from power.
Important! Do not insert or remove live Neutrik PowerCon connectors to apply or cut power, as this
may cause arcing at the terminals that will damage the connectors.
Important! Do not supply the fixture with power via an external dimming system, or you may cause
damage to the fixture that is not covered by the product warranty.
The Stagebar 2 features an auto-sensing switch-mode power supply that automatically adapts to
100 - 240 V nominal AC power at 50 or 60 Hz. Only connect the fixture to AC power within this voltage
range.
The fixture is protected by a 4 amp slow-blow primary fuse located in a fuseholder on the rear panel (see
Figure 1 on page 6).
Connecting to power
Power is supplied to the fixture via a blue Neutrik PowerCon inlet that accepts a blue PowerCon NAC3FCA
cable connector. Power can be relayed to another device via the light-grey PowerCon outlet that accepts a
light-grey PowerCon NAC3FCB cable connector. Note that blue input and light-grey output connectors have
different designs: one type cannot be connected to the other.
The user must install the supplied PowerCon cable connector on a power cable that meets the
specifications listed under "Protection from electric shock" on page 3.
There is no separate power on/off switch: power is applied to the fixture as soon as power is applied to its
power input cable.
If you install a power plug that is suitable for your AC power outlets on the power cable, use a
grounding-type (earthed) plug that is rated 13 A minimum. Follow the plug manufacturer's instructions. Table
1 shows some possible pin identification schemes; if pins are not clearly identified, or if you have any doubts
about proper installation, consult a qualified electrician.
