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.
A signal amplifier that enables more than 24 Alien 05
luminaires to be controlled from a single 05 Driver.
A dedicated control unit for the Alien 05 series.

Control network cabling
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).
Each 05 Driver unit has six independent control channels, to each of which
a single 05 Repeater, or up to four Alien 05s can be connected (in a daisychain). Each 05 Driver channel can provide an individual program - with
different effects - to the Alien 05s connected to that channel. All the fixtures
on one channel will mimic each other in their behavior.
Warning:Do not mix Alien 05 luminaries and 05 Repeaters on the same
Output link. Connect only Alien 05 luminaires, or only a Alien
05, to an individual connector. This applies to both the 05 Driver
and the 05 Repeater.

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.
If you are connecting multiple Alien 05s in daisy chains, run cables from the
first positions in the chain to the next ones. In this way you will connect the
first Alien 05 luminaire to the second Alien 05 luminaire, the second
luminaire to the third, and the third to the fourth. The connection order is not
important but keep the cable run from any single 05 Driver or 05 Repeater to
the last luminaire in its chain of connected luminaires to less than 40 meters
(131 ft.). The cable sockets on the Alien 05s are identical: either one may be
used for input.

AC power
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.
Warning:The cable length between transformers and the Alien 05
luminaires that they supply power to must not be more than 45
cm (17.7 in.).
Note:Alien 05 Eyeball models draw their power via the transformer
that is built into the Halo Recessed fixture housing in which
they will be installed. These transformers can draw power
through the 05 Driver’s 10 amp mains relay but the transformers
cannot be dimmed.
Sample configurations
The following sub-sections illustrate three possible configurations.
Simple power-supply configuration
In the simplest configuration, the 05 Driver is connected directly to the local
mains supply, and the Alien 05s are supplied power from a single, or
multiple, transformer/s connected to mains supply.

Remote lamp on/off power-supply configuration
In this configuration a transformer, or transformers, supplying 12V AC power
to one or more Alien 05s, is connected to the 10A mains relay on the 05
Driver.

This enables remote control of power on and off of the Alien 05s via either
an Oracle controller or DMX control device, that is attached to the 05 Driver

current draw of all transformers will not exceed 10 A.
Remotely dimmable power-supply configuration
Note:This configuration does not apply for Alien 05 Eyeball models
as they draw their power via the transformer that is built into
the Halo Recessed fixture housing. These transformers are not
dimmable.
In this configuration, one or more dimmable transformers supply 12V power
to one or more Alien 05s, and are connected to the 0-10V analog output on
the 05 Driver. The transformer can be powered through the 10A mains relay
(if remote power on/off is required), or directly from the mains supply.

Using the Oracle controller, or a DMX control device, it is possible to dim,
and power on and off the Alien 05s via the intensity channel.
WarningDo 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.
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. Refer the documentation supplied with you
transformer for guidance.
In the cases that remote:
• Power on/off via the 05 Driver is required, transformers may be wired
through the 05 Driver’s mains output relay. The relay cuts power to the
transformer when the intensity is set to less than 10 percent. It supplies
power when the intensity is set to 10 percent or more.
• Dimming is required, a dimmable transformer may be connected through
the analog 0 - 10 V output on the 05 Driver. This output controls the dimmer
function only and does not provide power to illuminate the luminaires. This
function is not available for Alien 05 Eyeball models.
Connecting transformers to the 05 Driver
To connect transformers to the 05 Driver, perform the following steps:
1 If the mains supply is under 200 volts and the number of connected Alien
05’s is over 15, verify that the combined current draw of all transformers will
not exceed 10 A.
2 Verify that the 05 Driver is isolated from AC power.
3 If wiring more than 1 transformer, connect the transformer leads to a
suitable power distribution strip or junction with a single lead to the 05
Driver. If the transformers are dimmable, similarly gather the control leads to
a parallel junction.
4 Remove top cover of the 05 Driver. Feed transformer power lead through
opening in the front panel labelled “Mains Output Relay”. If required, feed
the dimmer control lead through the opening labelled “0 - 10V Dimmer Out”.
Connect as shown on top cover.
5 Replace the cover.

Orientation in up-light installations
Important!If installing the Alien 05 as an up-light, position the sphere so
that the motor vent is below the lens.
The motor vent is the vent closest to the lens
(see illustration on right).
The illustrations below show how to minimize heat stress on the color wheel
motor. Down-light installations (a) are straightforward. However, in up-light
installations (b and c), ensuring that the motor vent is below the lens, as in
(b), will optimize motor cooling.
abc
If an Alien 05 Recessed or Eyeball has
been installed as in (c) above, it can be
adjusted to optimize motor cooling by
rotating the sphere through 180° (A) and
tilting (B) to re-aim the beam.

General operation
The Alien 05 effects (color filter selection and the speed of color changes)
are controlled by an 05 Driver unit. Operators can develop programs, or
issue control commands to an 05 Driver using the Oracle dedicated control
unit, any DMX controller, DMX recorder, or any other USITT DMX512
compliant controlling device. For more information refer to the:
•05 Driver user manual, P/N 35000107
•Oracle user manual, P/N 35000108
•The user documentation for the relevant DMX control device
In the absence of an Oracle or DMX controlling device, simple stand-alone
functions are available via DIP switches on the 05 Driver unit. See the
Martin 05 Driver user manual.

Prolonging lamp life
For optimum lamp life, turn off the power whenever illumination is not
required for extended periods of an hour or more.
Positioning the beam
Warning!The surface of the Alien 05 sphere gets hot during operation -
up to 90° C (194° F). Switch off power and allow the sphere to
cool for at least 5 minutes before touching.
The sphere can be rotated and tilted by hand to face any outwards direction.
Note that the Eyeball and Stem Mount models have pan/tilt locks.

Positioning the Alien 05 Recessed beam
Do not tilt the sphere on an Alien 05
Recessed so that the light points into the
fixture as the build-up of heat may damage
the fixture. Forcing the sphere into this
position might also strain the cables within
the fixture.
If installing as an up-light, rotate the sphere
through 180° (A) and adjust the upward
angle (B) if necessary, so that the motor
vent is below the lamp as described in
“Orientation in up-light installations” on page
12.

Pan/tilt lock
If installing as an up-light, adjust the orientation of the sphere, if necessary,
so that the motor vent is below the lamp as described in “Orientation in uplight installations” on page 12.
Diffuser lens
The Alien 05 is supplied with a diffuser filter installed. This ensures a soft
illumination when illuminating close objects. When illuminating objects at
greater distances, it is recommended that you remove the diffuser filter. See
“Removing the diffuser filter” on page 38.
Color filters
The Alien 05 is supplied with eight color filters and an open position. The
filters sit in a motorized wheel that is controlled by the 05 Driver unit. The
positions and respective filters are as follows:
PositionFilter
1No filter - open position (a filter can be installed if required)
2Color temperature correction (CTC) 5500-3400 K (warmer light)
