Connecting to System
Series 300 luminaires require a Smart Repeater unit for power and control by DMX512 consoles.
Step 1. Position SixPack chassis delta/wye switches to correct setting.
Refer to "Configuring Equipment For Delta or Wye Operation" on page 20 .
Step 2. Connect Modular Rack to power source.
Three-phase power will need to be supplied to the system. The maximum recommended
mod rack power requirement is 200 amps, using 2/0 feeder with 4/0 Cam-Lok connectors
and a 200A line disconnect. A SixPack Chassis requires 30 amps, and uses Hubbell or Epic
connectors on 8/5 multicore cable. Connector choice is dependent upon location. This cable
will need to be run from a house disconnect through a 30A line disconnect to the racks.
WARNING: The high voltages required to run this equipment are dangerous. Electrical "tie-ins"
should be handled by a qualified electrician.
Note: Some equipment in Europe will work using single-phase power. Check with an Account
Manager regarding your event.
