Floor Mounting the Luminaire
All luminaires included in this manual are designed to sit directly on its base in a floor installation
application. When used in this type of application, be sure to leave enough space around the luminaire
to allow proper, uninterrupted airflow for cooling and movement.
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 power input source.
Step 5. Dress AC input and data cables and secure them so that they will not interfere with
luminaire head and yoke movement.
